FAQs

What does 'non-handed' mean?

'Non-handed' means the centre case is designed to be used on both left-hand and right-hand opening doors without any modification.

Can I use this if my lock has two spindles?

No, this centre case is specifically designed for single spindle applications. If your lock has two spindles, you will need a different type of centre case.

What is a 'backset' measurement?

The backset is the measurement from the edge of the door to the centre of the spindle hole (or the centre of the door handle hole). This unit has a 35mm backset.

What is the 'PZ' measurement?

The PZ measurement is the distance from the centre of the spindle hole to the centre of the keyhole. This unit has a 92mm PZ.

Do I need to replace the entire multi-point locking strip?

No, a key feature of this centre case is that you can re-attach your old locking strip to it, making it a more economical repair.

What tools are typically needed for installation?

You will generally need a screwdriver (often Phillips head) and possibly a flathead screwdriver or a chisel to help ease components into place. A measuring tape is essential for verifying compatibility.

Where is this centre case located within the door lock?

The centre case is the main housing inside the door that contains the gears and springs operated by the door handles. It is the most central part of the multi-point locking mechanism.

Troubleshooting

Handle is stiff or difficult to operate after installation.

Ensure the spindle is correctly aligned and fully inserted into the centre case. Check that the locking strip is also aligned and free from obstructions. Lightly lubricate the spindle and mechanism.

Lock bolts do not retract or extend fully.

Verify that the centre case is correctly seated and screwed in place. Confirm that the locking strip is properly attached to the centre case and that there are no misalignments or obstructions in the door frame.

Centre case does not fit the door.

Double-check that your door has the specified 35mm backset and 92mm PZ measurement. Confirm that you are using a single spindle application and that the door handing matches the non-handed design.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reduces repair costs by allowing partial replacement of the lock.
  • Universal fit for left and right-handed doors.
  • Streamlines installation with its non-handed design.
  • Compatible with common door lock specifications (35mm backset, 92mm PZ).
  • Extends the life of existing door hardware.

Cons

  • Only suitable for single spindle applications.
  • May require some technical skill for replacement.
  • Does not include the full multi-point locking strip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Installation involves removing the existing door handles and lock strip, detaching the old centre case, fitting the new Home Secure centre case, and re-attaching the handles and locking strip. Ensure the spindle aligns correctly with the new case.

Compatibility: This centre case is compatible with doors that have a single spindle and a 35mm backset with a 92mm PZ measurement. It is non-handed, meaning it fits both left and right-handed doors. It is best suited for lever/lever door handle operations.

Care: To maintain performance, periodically lubricate the spindle and associated moving parts with a light, non-greasy lubricant. Avoid using harsh chemicals for cleaning; a soft, damp cloth is sufficient for the exterior.
