Product Information

Full details

The Union StrongBOLT 5 Lever Mortice Sashlock in Silver is designed for secure and convenient door locking, ideal for residential and commercial applications where enhanced security is paramount. Its key benefit lies in the innovative tool-free reversible latch and chamfered bolt design, simplifying installation and improving attack resistance. A potential caveat for some users might be the specific backset and centre measurements which need to be confirmed against existing door preparations.

FAQs

What does 'keyed alike' mean?

It means multiple locks can be set to operate with the same key, allowing you to use one key for several doors fitted with compatible locks (e.g., Union StrongBOLT 2205S and 2105S).

Can this lock be used on external doors?

Yes, the 5-lever mechanism, anti-pick features, and hardened steel components make it suitable for external doors requiring enhanced security.

What is the backset measurement?

The backset is 45mm. This is the distance from the edge of the door to the centre of the keyhole.

What is the centre measurement?

The centre is 57mm. This is the distance from the centre of the follower (which operates the handles) to the centre of the keyhole.

Do I need special tools to install the latch?

No, the Union SwitchLatch technology allows for tool-free reversal of the latch.

What maintenance is required?

Regular cleaning with a soft, damp cloth is recommended. For operational stiffness, use a dry graphite lubricant in the keyhole.

Is the stainless steel finish prone to rust?

Stainless steel is highly resistant to corrosion and rust, making it ideal for long-term use, though regular cleaning helps maintain its appearance.

Troubleshooting

Latch is difficult to reverse

Ensure the latch is fully extended before attempting to rotate it. Check for any debris obstructing the latch mechanism.

Lock is stiff to operate

Lubricate the keyhole and bolt mechanism with a dry graphite lubricant. Ensure the door and frame are properly aligned and not causing any binding.

Screws do not tighten properly

Verify that the mortice size is correct for the lock case. If the screw holes are stripped, consider using slightly longer or larger screws, or professional repair.

Lock does not engage fully

Check the alignment of the lock bolt with the strike plate on the door frame. Adjust the strike plate position if necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Tool-free latch reversal for easy installation
  • Increased security with anti-pick and hardened steel components
  • Versatile installation fitting many standard UK mortices
  • Durable stainless steel construction for longevity
  • Enhanced resistance to drilling and sawing attacks

Cons

  • Specific backset (45mm) and centre (57mm) may not fit all doors without modification
  • 5-lever mechanism may be overkill for low-security applications
  • Requires a mortice cut into the door edge for installation

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the door is prepared with a mortice of the correct dimensions (Case size: 68 x 109.6mm, Backset: 45mm, Centre: 57mm).
  2. If the latch needs reversing, simply pull it out from the case, rotate 180 degrees, and push back in – no tools required.
  3. Insert the lock case into the door mortice.
  4. Fit the forend and self-tapping screws.
  5. Install the lock furniture (handles) and the deadbolt mechanism.
  6. Attach the strike plate to the door frame.

Compatibility:

  • Designed to fit standard UK mortice preparations. Always measure your existing door preparation or consult a professional if unsure.
  • Can be keyed alike with the Union 2105S model.

Care:

  • Clean the stainless steel finish with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Periodically check that the lock operates smoothly. A small amount of graphite lubricant can be used if stiffness occurs.
