Installation Guide

Installing a door lock requires precision and the right tools. For best results, we recommend hiring a qualified carpenter or locksmith.

Tools Required:

• Drill with various bits

• Chisels (various sizes)

• Mallet or hammer

• Screwdriver

• Tape measure and pencil

• Mortice gauge (for mortice locks)

Step 1: Mark the Door
Position the lock at your desired height (typically 900-1000mm from the floor). Mark the center of the keyhole and spindle on both sides of the door.

Step 2: Drill the Keyhole and Spindle Holes
Drill the keyhole (typically 25mm) through the door. Drill the spindle hole (typically 8mm) through the door at 90 degrees to the keyhole.

Step 3: Mortice or Surface Mount
Depending on the specific LS 201 model, either mortice the lock case into the door edge or surface-mount it according to the instructions.

Step 4: Install the Lock Body
Insert the lock into the mortice or position it on the door surface. Secure with the provided screws.

Step 5: Install the Strike Plate
Close the door and mark the position of the latch bolt and deadbolt on the door frame. Mortice the frame to accept the strike plate if necessary. Secure with screws.

Step 6: Install Handles and Cylinder
Attach your chosen handles and escutcheons. Insert the cylinder (if applicable) through the lock body and secure it.

Step 7: Test the Operation
Test the latch and deadbolt with the door open and closed. Ensure the key turns smoothly and the bolts engage the strike plate without binding.

Maintenance and Care

• Lubrication: Apply a dry graphite lubricant to the keyway and bolt mechanism annually. Do not use oil or WD-40, which can attract dust and gum up the mechanism.

• Cleaning: Wipe with a soft damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that may scratch the finish.

• Key Care: Keep spare keys in a safe place. If you lose a key, consider re-keying or replacing the cylinder for security.

• Inspection: Check the lock annually for signs of wear, loose screws, or sticking bolts. Address any issues promptly.

For reliable security and a choice of classic finishes, the Union Door Lock LS 201 AB/BK is a solid choice for residential and commercial doors.
