FAQs
What is the main benefit of this lock set?
The primary benefit is its space-saving design, ideal for sliding and pocket doors, combined with a discreet, flush-fitting aesthetic for modern interiors.
Is this lock suitable for exterior doors?
This lock set is designed for interior doors and may not offer the weather resistance or security required for exterior applications.
How do I install the recessed finger pull?
The recessed finger pull is typically installed by routing a shallow recess into the edge of the door and then securing the pull within that recess.
What tools are needed for installation?
You will likely need a tape measure, pencil, drill, router or chisel for mortising, and screwdrivers.
Can this lock be used on any sliding door?
It is designed for standard interior sliding or pocket doors. Compatibility depends on the door thickness and the ability to mortise for the lock and keep.
How do I clean the matt black finish?
Use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
What is the purpose of the coin release?
The coin release is an emergency access feature on the exterior side, allowing the door to be opened with a coin in case of accidental locking or emergency.
Troubleshooting
Door does not lock securely.
Ensure the hook bolt is correctly aligned with the keep. Check that the door and frame are not warped, preventing full engagement. Adjust the keep position if necessary.
Thumb turn is stiff or difficult to operate.
Verify that the lock mechanism is properly seated in the door and that no debris is obstructing the movement. Ensure the mortise is clean and adequately sized.
Flush roses do not sit flush with the door surface.
The mortise for the roses may not be deep enough or is uneven. Carefully deepen or clean the mortise to allow the roses to sit flush.
Emergency release does not function.
Check for obstructions around the coin slot and ensure the internal mechanism is not jammed. The lock may require professional inspection if the issue persists.
