Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
This mortice lock requires a pre-cut mortise pocket in the door edge. Ensure the door is suitable for a 64mm (2.5 Inch) or 76mm (3 Inch) lock case size. Use the supplied forend and strike plates to mark and cut the necessary openings in the door and frame. The lock case should be a snug fit within the mortise. The bolt-through holes on the lock case should align with the holes for your chosen compatible lever on rose handles.
Compatibility:
Designed for use with bathroom doors, typically operated by a thumb turn or privacy lock mechanism on one side and a handle on the other. It is compatible with lever on rose handles that utilize through bolts, as the lock features corresponding holes. Ensure the backset size (distance from the edge of the door to the center of the spindle hole) matches your door preparation (either 64mm or 76mm).
Care:
Clean the lock and finish with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the Pewter Finish. For mechanical parts, periodic lubrication with a graphite-based lubricant may be beneficial if the lock feels stiff, but this is typically not required under normal use.
