FAQs
What is a Euro profile mortice sash lock?
A Euro profile mortice sash lock is a type of lock mechanism that is installed within a mortise (a cut-out) in the edge of a door. It typically works with a separate Euro profile cylinder for key operation and features a latch that is operated by a spindle.
Is the Euro profile cylinder included with the lock?
No, the Euro profile cylinder is sold separately and needs to be purchased to operate the lock.
Can this lock be used on an exterior door?
Yes, this lock can be used on exterior doors, provided it is appropriately finished and maintained, especially in environments prone to moisture.
What does 'reversible' mean for this lock?
'Reversible' means the latch mechanism can be flipped to suit doors that open either inwards or outwards, offering installation flexibility.
What are the specific dimensions of the lock?
The lock has a size of 2.5" (63mm), with a backset of 44mm and a forend (faceplate) length of 150mm. The centres are 57mm.
How do I clean the polished chrome finish?
Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the finish. Avoid abrasive materials or chemical cleaners that could damage the surface.
Is this lock suitable for commercial properties?
Yes, due to its CE certification and fire rating, it is suitable for many commercial applications where safety standards are important.
Troubleshooting
Lock is stiff or difficult to operate
Ensure the Euro profile cylinder is correctly installed and aligned. Check that the door is not warped or sagging. Lubricate the lock mechanism lightly with a graphite-based lubricant if necessary.
Latch does not retract or extend smoothly
Verify that the lock is installed straight and that the forend screws are not overtightened, which can bind the mechanism. Check for any obstructions in the mortise.
Strike plate alignment issues
Adjust the position of the strike plate on the door frame to ensure the latch engages correctly. Minor adjustments to the frame or strike plate may be needed.
