FAQs

What type of lock is included in this set?

This set includes a 2.5" (63.5mm) 3-lever mortise lock with a 45mm backset, suitable for internal doors requiring key operation.

Can this handle set be used on external doors?

This set is primarily designed for internal doors. The 3-lever lock offers a basic level of security suitable for internal use, not external, where higher security locks are recommended.

What are the dimensions of the hinges?

The set includes a pair of 3-inch (approximately 75mm) ball bearing hinges.

How do I clean the Matt Black finish?

Clean using a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents. For tougher marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by drying with a clean cloth.

Is this set suitable for all interior doors?

It is suitable for most standard internal doors. However, the mortise lock requires a specific cutout (mortise) in the door edge. If your door does not have this, it will need to be routed.

What material is the handle made from?

The handles are made from solid zinc alloy, ensuring durability and a premium feel.

Can I buy additional hinges or locks separately?

This guide focuses on the complete set. For individual components or different pack sizes, please refer to other product listings or contact the retailer.

Troubleshooting

Handle is stiff or difficult to turn.

Ensure the spindle is correctly aligned and not obstructed. Check that the mortise lock is properly seated and that no debris is interfering with the mechanism. Loosen handle screws slightly if they are overtightening onto the spindle.

Latch does not engage properly with the strike plate.

Adjust the position of the strike plate on the door frame. Ensure the door is not sagging and that the hinges are properly aligned. Check for any obstructions in the latch hole.

Lock is difficult to key turn.

Ensure the correct key is being used and is fully inserted. A small amount of graphite lubricant can be applied to the keyway if it feels stiff, but avoid oil-based lubricants.

Hinges squeak.

Apply a small amount of appropriate lubricant (e.g., silicone spray or white lithium grease) to the hinge pins. Ensure hinge pins are fully seated.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Compatibility:

  • This set is designed for standard internal doors.
  • The 2.5" mortise lock has a 45mm backset, which is a common standard.
  • The 3" hinges are suitable for most standard internal doors.
  • Ensure your door has the necessary recesses for the mortise lock and strike plate. If not, routing will be required.

Setup:

  1. Markings: Carefully mark the door for the lock stile, latch, and hinges.
  2. Mortise Lock Installation: Cut a mortise (recess) into the door edge for the lock body and chisel out a recess for the faceplate. Insert the lock and secure it with the provided screws.
  3. Hinge Installation: Cut recesses for the hinges on the door edge and frame. Attach the hinges to the door and then to the frame.
  4. Handle Installation: Insert the spindle through the lock mechanism. Attach the handles to the spindle on both sides of the door, securing them with the provided screws.
  5. Strike Plate Installation: Mark and chisel a recess in the door frame for the strike plate, ensuring proper alignment with the latch.

Care:

  • Clean the Matt Black finish with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can damage the finish.
  • For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and wipe dry with a clean cloth.
  • Periodically check and tighten fixing screws if necessary.
