FAQs

What tools do I need for installation?

You'll typically need a screwdriver, possibly a drill, and a measuring tape.

How do I measure the backset?

The backset is the distance from the edge of the door to the center of the keyhole or cylinder.

Can I install this myself?

If you're comfortable with basic DIY and have the right tools, yes. Otherwise, consult a locksmith.

Where can I find the measurements for my lock?

The measurements are typically printed on the lock or can be found by measuring the existing lock.

What does 'centre distance' mean?

The centre distance is the distance between the centre of the handle spindle and the centre of the cylinder.

What if the replacement gearbox doesn't fit?

Double-check your measurements before purchase. If it doesn't fit, you'll need to find a compatible alternative.

How often should I lubricate the lock?

It is advisable to lubricate the lock annually with a suitable lock lubricant.

Troubleshooting

Key doesn't turn smoothly or gets stuck.

Check for debris in the lock cylinder. If the issue persists, the gearbox may be faulty and need replacing.
