FAQs
Is this lock suitable for external doors?
No, this is an internal bathroom lock and does not provide the security features required for external doors.
Can I use this on a left-handed door?
Yes, the rotalatch mechanism is fully reversible for both left and right-hand door hanging.
Does this lock come with the door handles?
No, this is a mortice sashlock body only. You will need to purchase compatible door handles and a bathroom thumb turn set separately.
What is the backset dimension?
This model features a 65mm case size, which refers to the distance from the edge of the door to the center of the follower hole.
Is the bronze finish weather-resistant?
The finish is designed for internal use. It is durable for bathroom environments but should not be exposed to direct rain or harsh external weather conditions.
Troubleshooting
The latch does not retract when the handle is turned.
Ensure the follower is correctly aligned and that the spring mechanism has not been obstructed by wood debris during installation.
The door does not stay shut.
Check the alignment of the strike plate on the door frame; you may need to adjust the position of the keep to ensure the latch engages fully.
The thumb turn feels stiff.
Check that the spindle is not too long, which can cause binding within the lock body, or ensure the door hardware is perfectly aligned with the lock holes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install this lock, you will need a drill, a set of wood chisels, and a screwdriver. Begin by marking the mortice position on the edge of the door and the strike plate position on the frame. Use a chisel to create a clean recess for the lock case and the faceplate. Ensure the latch is oriented correctly for your door swing before inserting the lock. For ongoing care, occasionally wipe the bronze faceplate with a soft, dry cloth to prevent oxidation; avoid using abrasive chemical cleaners which can strip the protective finish.
