The 64mm 3 Lever BS Deadlock is an essential security solution designed for homeowners and contractors seeking a reliable, heavy-duty latch for internal or external doors. Its primary benefit is providing robust protection through a secure three-lever mechanism that integrates seamlessly into standard door frames, though it is important to note that it requires precise mortising during installation for a flush, professional fit.

This is a 3-lever deadlock; while secure, always check your insurance requirements to ensure they do not mandate a 5-lever deadlock for external primary access points.
Always check with your local building regulations, as specific fire-rated hardware may be required for certified fire doors.
This model has a 64mm backset, which is the distance from the edge of the door to the center of the keyhole.
Yes, each unit includes the necessary set of keys for the lever mechanism.
It is not recommended, as paint may interfere with the moving parts of the latch and affect the aesthetic finish.
Ensure the lock is not misaligned with the strike plate; adjust the plate position if the bolt is catching.
Check that the fixing screws through the forend are tightened securely into the timber door edge.
Clear any debris or wood shavings from the mortise pocket inside the door frame.
Installation requires a mortise chisel and drill to carve out the recess for the lock body and the square forend. Ensure the door frame has enough depth to accommodate the 64mm casing. Once installed, avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners on the silver finish; a simple wipe with a soft, damp cloth is sufficient to maintain its appearance. Periodically check that the mounting screws remain tight to prevent misalignment of the bolt and strike plate.
