FAQs
What size screws are needed for this deadbolt lock?
Fixings are not included. You will need to select screws appropriate for your door's thickness and material. Typically, machine screws for the interior/exterior plates and wood screws for the strike plate are required.
Is this lock suitable for exterior doors?
Yes, as a deadbolt, it is designed to provide a good level of security for exterior doors.
How do I clean the black finish?
Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the lock. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could scratch or damage the finish.
Can this lock be used on a fire door?
Compatibility with fire doors depends on specific fire door regulations and certifications. Please consult your door manufacturer or local building codes before installation on a fire door.
What is the warranty on this Securit lock?
Please refer to the product packaging or the B&Q website for specific warranty information, as warranty details are not provided in the product description.
Does the lock come with keys?
The product description does not specify the number of keys included. Typically, deadbolts come with at least two keys.
Troubleshooting
Lock is stiff or difficult to turn.
Ensure the deadbolt bolt is properly aligned with the strike plate on the door frame. Check that the screws holding the lock are not overtightened, which can cause binding. Lubricate the mechanism sparingly with a graphite-based lubricant if necessary.
Key does not fully insert or turn.
Verify that the correct key is being used and that it is not bent or damaged. Check for obstructions inside the keyway. Ensure the deadbolt is fully retracted before attempting to insert the key.
Bolt does not extend fully into the strike plate.
Realign the strike plate on the door frame. Check that the deadbolt mechanism is correctly installed and that the door is not sagging or warped, preventing full bolt extension.
