Deadlock, Mortice, Security 5 Lever, Steel, Fortress

Product Details

1. What does the 56 mm backset and 79 mm case size mean for installation?

The 56 mm backset is the distance from the door edge to the centre of the lock case, which must match your door furniture set up. The 79 mm case size refers to the size of the lock case area, helping ensure it fits correctly in the prepared mortice. If you are replacing an existing deadlock, these two measurements are the key details to confirm before ordering.

2. Is this deadlock key operated, and how many keys are included?

Yes, the Fortress 5 Lvr Deadlock is key operated. It is supplied with 2 keys so you can get the door secured straight away after fitting.

3. What locking types and latch features are built into this model?

This model is a deadlock with standard deadbolt operation and it includes a latch mechanism configured as without latch. For many commercial style and secure residential door applications, this is chosen where you need controlled locking via the key rather than a latch function.

4. What is the finish and colour, and is it suitable for visible external or internal use?

The lock is supplied in a satin steel finish, which is designed to look neat and modern on both front and internal doors. Satin finishes can also help mask minor day to day marks compared with higher gloss surfaces.

5. Will the strike plate and bolt pocket match typical door frame preparations?

The strike plate is supplied as a strike plate with bolt pocket, which is designed to receive the deadbolt correctly when the door is locked. This is important for alignment and smooth operation, particularly where the frame has already been set up for a morticed strike configuration.

6. What materials are used in the lock for strength and durability?

The lock is built using hardened steel for the case, with steel for the forend and strike plate. This combination is intended to provide strong resistance in the areas most exposed to daily use and force at the locking points.

7. Can I use this with my existing forend cut out, given the forend dimensions?

The forend is a flat forend rounded design with a 26 mm forend width and a 134 mm forend length. Checking these dimensions against your current door cut out or the door specification you are working to will help ensure the lock fits properly and sits correctly.
