FAQs
What is a Euro Profile Deadlock?
A Euro Profile Deadlock is a type of lock that uses a specific shaped cylinder (Euro profile) and is operated by a key or thumbturn. It's called a 'deadlock' because it has a solid bolt that cannot be accidentally locked or unlocked without a key, providing higher security than a spring latch.
Does this product include the Euro profile cylinder?
No, this product is the deadlock mechanism and strike plate only. A separate Euro profile cylinder is required for operation and must be purchased in addition to this lock.
What is the size of this deadlock?
The deadlock has a case size of 76mm, which refers to the distance from the edge of the door to the center of the cylinder hole.
What is the finish of this deadlock?
The finish is Satin Stainless Steel, providing a durable and contemporary silver appearance.
Can this deadlock be used on an external door?
Yes, this deadlock is designed for secure door locking and can be used on external doors, provided it is installed correctly and paired with an appropriate Euro profile cylinder.
What tools are needed for installation?
Typically, you will need a drill, screwdrivers (Phillips and flathead), a measuring tape, and potentially a chisel for mortising the door and frame for the lock and strike plate.
Troubleshooting
Deadlock bolt is stiff or won't retract fully.
Check for obstructions in the door or frame. Ensure the Euro profile cylinder is correctly installed and aligned. Lubricate the mechanism with a graphite-based lubricant if necessary.
Strike plate alignment issues.
Carefully adjust the position of the strike plate on the door frame until the deadlock bolt engages smoothly. Minor filing of the strike plate opening might be needed in some cases.
Difficulty installing the Euro profile cylinder.
Ensure you have the correct size and type of Euro profile cylinder for the deadlock. Check that the cylinder retaining screw is correctly positioned.
