FAQs
Can I use this lock on an exterior door?
This is a 3-lever lock designed primarily for internal residential doors. It does not provide the level of security typically required for front or back external doors.
What is the backset measurement?
The backset for this lock is 57mm.
Is this lock fire-rated?
Yes, it is FD60 fire-rated, meaning it is certified for use on doors that must provide 60 minutes of fire resistance.
Does it come with keys?
Yes, as a sash lock, it is supplied with the necessary keys for locking and unlocking the bolt.
Do I need to buy screws separately?
No, the package includes all the necessary fixing screws for standard installation.
What is the total length of the forend faceplate?
The forend faceplate measures 150mm in length.
Troubleshooting
The latch does not retract fully when the handle is turned.
Check if the mortice cavity is too tight, causing the casing to deform. Loosen the fixing screws slightly to see if performance improves.
The door rattles when closed.
Adjust the strike plate on the door frame. It may need to be moved slightly closer to the door stop to ensure the latch holds the door firmly against the frame.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, mark the door edge at the appropriate height and use a wood chisel to create a clean mortice cavity. The lock body should fit snugly without forcing. Ensure that the 57mm backset is measured accurately from the door edge. The lock is fully reversible; if the latch bolt faces the wrong way, remove the cover plate or rotate the internal mechanism as per the manufacturer's manual. To maintain the silver finish and smooth spring action, avoid using harsh chemical cleaners. A light wipe with a damp cloth followed by a dry one is sufficient, and the occasional application of a dry lubricant to the latch bolt will ensure long-term, quiet operation.
