FAQs

Can I use this lock on an exterior door?

No, this lock is specifically designed for internal wooden bathroom doors and does not provide the security ratings required for exterior entrances.

How do I reverse the latch?

Typically, you can pull the latch head out and rotate it 180 degrees, though specific instructions vary slightly by model; ensure it clicks firmly back into place.

Does this lock include the handles?

No, this product is the mortice lock mechanism only. Handles must be purchased separately.

What tools do I need for installation?

You will need a drill, drill bits, a hammer, and a sharp wood chisel to create the pocket in the door frame and edge.

Is the bronze finish durable?

The finish is high quality and designed for residential use, but it should be kept dry and cleaned with a soft cloth to maintain its luster.

Troubleshooting

Door is rattling after installation

Adjust the tab on the keep to increase tension against the latch when the door is closed.

Latch does not retract smoothly

Check that the door is correctly aligned and the mortice cavity is deep enough to prevent binding.

Handle feels loose or wobbly

Verify that your handles are utilizing the bolt-through fixings that pass directly through the pre-pierced holes in the lock case.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reversible latch suits any door orientation
  • Adjustable keep eliminates unwanted door movement and noise
  • Sturdy construction supports long-term daily use
  • Compatible with standard bolt-through handle fixings
  • Attractive bronze finish adds a decorative touch

Cons

  • Requires professional-style mortice installation tools
  • Only suitable for wooden internal doors
  • Color may not match non-standard hardware finishes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires a mortice chisel and a drill to create the cavity in the wooden door edge. Ensure you measure the backset (distance from the door edge to the center of the handle spindle hole) correctly to match your door's existing geometry. Regarding compatibility, this lock is designed specifically for standard wooden internal doors. For maintenance, keep the moving parts lubricated with a light silicone-based spray once or twice a year. To clean the bronze finish, use only a soft, dry cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can strip the finish and accelerate corrosion.
