FAQs

What does 'FD60' mean?

FD60 indicates that the lock has been tested and certified to provide fire resistance for up to 60 minutes.

Can this lock be used on an external door?

While designed for security, it is primarily intended for internal doors. For external doors, consider locks specifically rated for exterior use and higher security needs.

What is the backset measurement?

The backset is the distance from the edge of the door to the center of the lock's keyhole or spindle hole. For this lock, it is 57mm.

Does this lock come with keys?

Yes, the 3-lever sash lock typically comes with a set of keys. Please refer to the product packaging for exact contents.

How do I know if this lock will fit my door?

Measure the existing lock's backset, the distance between the spindle hole and the keyhole (centres), and the size of the forend (faceplate). This lock has a 57mm backset and 57mm centres.

Is the antique brass finish durable?

The antique brass finish offers a classic look and reasonable durability for internal use. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive cleaning to maintain its appearance.

Troubleshooting

Lock is stiff or difficult to turn

Ensure the lock is correctly aligned within the mortice and all fixing screws are tightened appropriately. Check for any obstructions in the keyway or latch mechanism. Lubricate with a graphite-based lock lubricant if necessary.

Latch does not retract or engage smoothly

Verify that the door and frame are properly aligned and that the door is not sagging. Check that the strike plate is correctly positioned. Ensure the spindle (if applicable) is correctly fitted and turning freely.

Lock appears loose in the door

Tighten the fixing screws that secure the lock case to the door. Ensure the mortice cut is the correct size and depth for the lock.
