Product Information
Full details
The Security Solutions Euro Locking Deadbolt with Thumbturn is designed for homeowners, office managers, and residents of shared living spaces who require a robust and reliable security upgrade for their doors. The key benefit of this set is the combination of high-security exterior key access and convenient interior thumbturn operation, allowing for quick exits without the need for a key. One notable caveat is that the product follows a European locking mechanism, meaning the turning direction for locking and unlocking is opposite to the standard UK movement, which may require a brief adjustment period for new users.

FAQs
Is this lock compatible with hollow-core doors?
This lock is intended for use on solid doors. Installing on hollow-core doors may result in inadequate structural support for the deadbolt.
Can I replace just the cylinder if I lose my keys?
Yes, because it uses a standard Euro profile, the cylinder can be replaced, though it is recommended to keep track of the three keys provided.
Which way do I turn the key to lock it?
Because this follows a European locking mechanism, the key turns in the opposite direction to the standard UK movement. Test the lock while the door is open to confirm the direction.
What is the rose diameter?
The rose diameter is 56mm, which should be considered when checking for clearance on your door face.
Does the set come with everything needed to install?
Yes, the kit includes the deadbolt, the thumbturn unit, three keys, and the necessary fixing screws.
Can this be used on external doors?
The lock is designed for high security and is suitable for solid doors, including exterior-facing ones, provided the door thickness is within the 30-45mm specification.
Troubleshooting
The bolt does not extend or retract smoothly.
Ensure the door is properly aligned with the strike plate. If the alignment is off, the bolt may bind; adjust the strike plate or hinges as needed.
The key is difficult to turn.
Verify that the door is not warped and that the deadbolt is not under pressure from the door being held too tight against the frame. Apply a dry graphite lubricant to the cylinder.
The thumbturn feels loose.
Check the internal fixing screws behind the rose plate to ensure they are fully tightened and that the spindle is properly seated.

- Comprehensive hardware kit included for immediate installation

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward as long as you confirm your door thickness falls between 30mm and 45mm. Before mounting the hardware, measure your existing backset; you must adjust the deadbolt mechanism to either 60mm or 70mm to match your door's pre-drilled hole. Use the provided screws to secure the rose—which has a diameter of 56mm—to the door face. To maintain optimal performance, avoid using harsh chemicals when cleaning the silver finish; a soft, dry cloth is sufficient. Periodically check that the screws are tightened and the bolt action remains smooth. If the bolt feels stiff, a small amount of dry lubricant can be applied to the latch mechanism.
