Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this lock insurance-approved?
Yes, it is tested to BS 3621:2007, which is the standard required by most home insurance providers for external doors.
What is a 5-lever sash lock?
A sash lock contains both a deadbolt for security and a latch for keeping the door closed, operated by levers that require a specific key profile.
Can I get extra keys made?
Yes, any professional locksmith can cut additional keys for a standard 5-lever mortice lock.
Is the gold finish weather-resistant?
It is finished for durability, but like all hardware, it should be kept clean of salt and chemical buildup if used in coastal or harsh environments.
Does this lock come with a strike plate?
Yes, the product is supplied as a complete set including the necessary strike plate for the door frame.
Troubleshooting
Key is difficult to turn
Check if the strike plate is aligned correctly; if the bolt rubs against the frame, the lock will bind.
Key feels stiff inside the lock
Apply a small amount of dry graphite lubricant to the key; avoid using oil-based sprays which can attract dust.
Door does not latch properly
Verify the mortice pocket is deep enough and that there is no wood debris obstructing the bolt path.
Pros and Cons
Pros

- Professional-grade construction from Zoo Hardware
- Attractive and durable gold finish
Cons
- Requires professional installation for best performance
- Limited to two included keys
- Less flexible than Euro-profile cylinder locks
Setup, Compatibility & Care
For proper installation, the door must have a sufficient stile width to accommodate the mortice depth. Always use a template for accurate drilling to prevent binding the lock within the door frame.
- Preparation: Measure the backset carefully before cutting into the door.
- Installation: Ensure the strike plate is perfectly aligned with the deadbolt to prevent stress on the key mechanism.
- Maintenance: Avoid using abrasive cleaners on the gold finish. An occasional light application of a graphite-based lubricant into the keyway can maintain smooth operation over years of use.
- Care: Keep the keyway free from debris and do not force the key if resistance is felt, as this indicates an alignment issue between the lock and the frame.
