FAQs
What size Euro profile cylinder is compatible?
This sash lock is designed to work with standard Euro profile cylinders. The specific length of the cylinder will depend on the door thickness and the overall lock case dimensions.
Can this lock be used on exterior doors?
While the nickel-plated finish offers some corrosion resistance, this sash lock is primarily designed and recommended for interior door applications.
Does this product include a lock cylinder?
No, the Securit Mortice Sash Lock is sold separately from the Euro profile cylinder. You will need to purchase a compatible cylinder to complete the lock assembly.
How do I reverse the latch if needed?
The latch can typically be reversed by removing a small retaining clip or screw on the side of the lock body, pulling the latch out, rotating it 180 degrees, and reinserting it. Refer to specific manufacturer instructions if available.
What tools are needed for installation?
Basic carpentry tools are required, including a drill, mortise chisel, screwdriver, and measuring tape. Specific tools may be needed depending on the door preparation.
Is this lock suitable for fire doors?
This product information does not specify suitability for fire doors. Please consult relevant safety certifications or manufacturer documentation for fire door compatibility.
Troubleshooting
Latch is stiff or difficult to retract
Ensure the mortice is clear of debris and the lock body is correctly seated. Lubricate the latch mechanism with a light, suitable oil.
Lock cylinder does not fit properly
Verify that you are using a standard Euro profile cylinder. Check the dimensions of the mortice and the cylinder opening to ensure they match.
Reversible latch does not engage smoothly
Double-check that the latch has been correctly reversed and reassembled. Ensure the lock body is aligned properly within the door mortice.
Nickel-plated finish appears dull or discolored
Clean the surface gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals. If tarnishing persists, it may indicate prolonged exposure to moisture or specific environmental conditions.
