FAQs

Is this lock insurance approved?

Yes, it is certified to BS 3621:2007, which is the standard typically required by home insurance providers for external doors.

Can I use this on a fire door?

Yes, this lock is certified for use on both 30-minute and 60-minute fire-rated doors.

How do I change the latch direction?

The latch bolt is reversible; typically, you can pull the bolt out, rotate it, and push it back into place, or follow the instructions on the lock case.

Does it come with a strike plate?

Yes, the product includes the strike plate, fixing screws, and two keys.

Will this work with un-sprung handles?

Yes, the lock features a heavy-duty spring mechanism specifically designed to support un-sprung handles.

Troubleshooting

Key is difficult to turn

Check that the lock body is not under pressure from a tight mortice and ensure the door is not misaligned in the frame.

Latch bolt does not retract fully

Verify that the strike plate is perfectly aligned with the latch and that the mortice pocket is deep enough.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Insurance-approved security standard
  • Suitable for high-traffic commercial or home use
  • Compatible with fire-rated door assemblies
  • Versatile reversible latch for flexible installation

Cons

  • Requires professional-level woodworking tools for installation
  • Only includes two keys in the standard package
  • Requires precise mortice alignment for smooth operation

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires a mortice chisel set and a drill to create the pocket for the lock body and the hole for the spindle.

  1. Marking: Carefully align the lock body against the edge of the door, marking the mortice and faceplate outline.
  2. Morticing: Use a sharp chisel to clear the wood, ensuring the lock body fits snugly without excessive play.
  3. Striking: Ensure the strike plate is recessed flush into the door frame so the latch engages smoothly.
  4. Maintenance: Periodically check that screws are tight. You may apply a light lubricant like graphite powder to the keyway if the movement becomes stiff; avoid heavy oils that can attract debris inside the mechanism.
