I have included a guide below, to choosing the right product before you buy, please read this carefully, and if your still not sure, then please give me a call and we can talk you through the selection process.

Fitting a Mortice lock to a NEW Timber Door:

Please refer to your insurance document to ensure you choose and purchase the correct lock.
Once you know the type of lock then it is personal preference whether to use 2.5" or 3" - however, if using a Mortice Knob on the door, it is usually recommended to use a 3" lock to allow free movement of the operating hand between handle and frame.
Fitting a lock into a new door requires precision woodworking skills and you should consider employing a Tradesmen to fit the lock.

Upgrading Security or Replacing a Mortice lock in an existing Timber Door:

Check for any Branded identification, Security logos, such as BS Kitemark or indication of No. of levers on the face plate of the lock - This will help in identifying whether you may need additional work to fit the replacement, and whether this listing is suitable for you.
Refer to your Insurance document to ensure you purchase the correct lock
Once you are satisfied that this is the correct lock type please choose your product
Not sure? then give us a call or send a message
