FAQs
Is this lock suitable for exterior doors?
No, this Securit 3 Lever Sash Lock is designed exclusively for use on internal doors. It does not offer the weather resistance or high-security features required for exterior applications.
What does 'mortice sash lock' mean?
A mortice sash lock is designed to be installed within a rectangular pocket (mortice) cut into the edge of a door. It typically features a latch operated by handles and a dead bolt operated by a key.
What tools are needed for installation?
You will typically need a drill, mortising chisel set, screwdriver, tape measure, and a pencil for marking. Basic woodworking skills are beneficial.
How many keys are included with the lock?
The Securit 3 Lever Sash Lock includes two keys.
Can I get replacement keys made?
Yes, the lock uses a standard 3-lever mechanism. A local locksmith or key-cutting service can typically duplicate these keys, provided you have one of the original keys.
What is the exact case depth of this lock?
The approximate case depth for this lock is 63mm.
How do I maintain the nickel-plated finish?
To maintain the nickel-plated finish, clean it regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaning agents or harsh chemicals, as these can scratch or damage the plating.
Troubleshooting
Key does not turn smoothly
Ensure no debris is inside the lock cylinder. Try a light application of graphite lubricant. Check that the door is not warped, causing misalignment.
Latch does not retract or extend properly
Check that the lock is correctly aligned within the door mortice. Ensure the strike plate on the frame is aligned with the latch bolt. Verify that the internal mechanism is not obstructed.
Lock feels stiff or difficult to operate
The lock may require lubrication with a graphite-based lock lubricant. Avoid oil-based lubricants, as they can attract dust. Ensure the door itself is not sticking or binding.
