XFORT® 3 Lever Satin Chrome Mortice Sashlock 75mm, Door Lock with Key for Internal and External Doors, Door Latch Mechanism and Key Locking Door Security, CE Approved and Fire Rated Protection.

I bought this to replace a lock that wouldn’t operate anymore as the key broke. It was easy to fit. The most difficult problem was chiselling out part of the door frame as the old one broke in the locked position. Pleased with my purchase as it was good value.

Probably a reasonable lock but the measurements are confused.This lock is 65mm total depth NOT 65mm to the handle/lock mechanism.

Works just fine. Replaced an existing sash lock with this one so that we could upgrade from an old lever lock mechanism to Euro profile cylinder. Very happy with the result.

A bit extra work with the chisel to replace the old one but the superior quality is evident once fitted.

All works fine, installed and does the job.

The lock looks sturdy enough and once fitted it works as expected.To install it follows these easy quick steps:1. Read the instructions and understand nothing.2. Read the label on the back of the lock and again understand nothing of it.3. Spend at least 30 min on YouTube searching for videos only to find similar locks but not quite this one4. Become desperate and open it up yourself.5. Despite being careful, watch a bunch of springs and parts fly out6. Cry7. Assemble all the parts back8. Realise that in order to stop the bolt from sticking out and rotating, all you had to do was to add the extra side plate on top of the existing one9. Ask yourself why that wasn’t mentioned anywhere in the instructions10. Post passive aggressive review on Amazon

I bought this item as a replacement for my bathroom door lock which had become worn and eventually defective over the years. First, I bought a sashlock from another supplier but found that the latch needed to be reversed on my particular door. You are supposed to be able to do this by removing a screw on the sashlock and making adjustments. But the screw would not move. (Does anybody else hate Philips screwheads ?) Then I found this item with Rotalatch option and figured that would solve my problem. And it did !Of course, over the years, the dimensions of these things have changed slightly so the new lock doesn't just fit into the space vacated by the old one. You have to do some chiselling and careful measuring and lots of pencil marks. There are 2 holes already drilled through the door where the spindles were for the old lock and for me, these pretty much determined where the new lock would go. I bought new handles as well and made sure the distance between the spindles on the sashlock matched that on the handles and the holes in the door.Well, the job is completed now and it is all working fine. In the end, I did decide to extend the holes in the door by 5mm with a Coping Saw but we got there. Yes, I recommend this product, particularly if your door hinge is on the right hand side when the door opens towards you because this most likely means the latch will need to be reversed.

As other reviewers have mentioned, the faceplate attached to the catch unit was bent as both ends, making it harder to attach the brass outer faceplate. It also made it much harder to slot into the hole in the door where the old unit used to be, even though they are dimensionally exactly the same with the holes, lock, etc in exactly the same places. The whole unit feels cheap and flimsy, although once properly fitted it would take some considerable force to break through the door. It doesn't quite click into place completely with the existing touchplate on the door frame, but if I fit the one that came with this unit in sure that would be different. I won't be buying another one; I'd rather spend a few quid extra to get a better quality one that isn't bent upon arrival. I only went for this one because of the reversible latch bolt, but other manufacturers also provide this feature in one form or another. Such a shame - so nearly an excellent product, just let down by the odd bad components. Maybe a new revision of this product will address these issues, and it will truly be worth being ahead of the competition.
