No, this is specifically designed as an internal door latch and does not include locking capabilities for security.
Yes, this product is approved in accordance with BS EN12209 and is suitable for 30-minute fire door assemblies.
Each pack contains 4 sets of the internal door mechanism, strike plates, latch plates, barrels, and all necessary fixing screws.
The 65mm typically refers to the backset or the length from the forend to the center of the spindle hole, which is standard for most internal doors.
You will need a drill with wood bits, a chisel for recessing plates, a screwdriver, and a measuring tape.
General upkeep involves occasional cleaning with a damp cloth and lubricating the bolt mechanism if it feels stiff.
Check that the spindle is not misaligned and the spring mechanism is not obstructed by debris or sawdust in the mortice.
Adjust the strike plate position or check if the tongue of the latch is making proper contact with the strike box.
Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the latch bolt and ensure no paint or finish has entered the mechanism during door installation.
Installation requires basic woodworking tools, including a chisel for the forend and strike plate, and a drill for the spindle and barrel holes.
For maintenance, avoid harsh chemical cleaners which may degrade the bronze finish. If the latch becomes stiff, a light application of a silicone-based lubricant inside the mechanism will restore smooth performance.
