2. How do I measure the backset?
You only need to make 1 simple measurement.

3. How do I change the code?
The code can be easily changed in just a few minutes. All you need is a phillips head screwdriver and a regular pair of tweezers which are provided with your order.

4. How do I tell if I need a right or left handed lock?
When standing outside of your door, if the hinges are on the LEFT side, you have a LEFT HANDED lock and you will need the LEFT HAND option for lever handles and 1100 Series locks.

The opposite is true for a RIGHT hand lock. When standing outside your door, if the hinges are on the RIGHT side, you have a RIGHT HANDED lock and will need the RIGHT HAND option for lever handles and 1100 Series locks.

For interior doors, the outside is the side where you enter the combination.



5. What is the finish on the inside of the lock?
The finish on the inside and the outside is the same, depending on the color you select when you place your order.

All our locks are constructed of high-quality, alloyed steel, stainless steel, or brass componentry.



6. Are all these locks weatherproof?
Yes, all our locks are completely weatherproof and can withstand all types of weather.



7. Can these locks have more than one combination at a time?
No, only one combination can be used at a time. However, on some of our models, you can purchase a key override to allow access without the combination and you can also change the combination as often as you wish in only a matter of minutes.



8. Does it matter what order I enter the combination in?
No, you can enter the combination in any order except that you must first press "C" for clear. This will clear all the tumblers in the lock from previous attempts.

To see how quick and easy it is to operate these locks, just check out our online demo.



9. Do any of these locks have a key override?
Yes, some of our 2000 series locks are available with a key override so that you can lock or unlock them using either a key or a combination.

This is great if you have multiple locks with different combinations and you want, say, a maintenance person to be able to open them without knowing the combination.

If you order more than one lock with the key override option, your new locks will automatically be keyed alike, unless you specify otherwise.

If you lose the keys, just contact us for a replacement.

The key override option will be displayed automatically when you place your order for a lock, if appropriate.

This popular item is available in most finishes. Pricing is extra and is added to the cost of your lock at the time you place an order.

Locks with key overrides are installed exactly the same way as regular locks.



10. Is this a complete door set with all the components I will need?
Yes, all locks come complete with everything you need, including instructions on installation, changing the combination, operating the lock, etc. You won't need to buy anything else to make your door close and lock properly.

11. Do you have a lock that will lock every time the door is closed?
Yes! The lock you are looking for is the 2230 Series Built-In Spring Latchbolt (click to view).

This is a deadlocking springlatch. Each and every time the door is closed, it locks. In order to get into the door, the combination must be entered. To get out of the door, simply turn the knob and exit.



12. How long are the slide bars on your surface mounted locks?
The 2200 Surface Mount Deadbolt lock has a slide bar on the inside of the door that slides back and forth to lock the door. This lock is most commonly used on narrow style doors where a deadbolt cannot be drilled into the door. This lock comes with either a short or a long bar.

The short bar has a ¾" throw and the long bar has and additional 1 ½" bar.



13. If the lock I ordered will not fit, can it be returned for a full refund?
Yes, we have a 100% Customer Satisfaction Guarantee for 30 days after you receive your order except for items marked CLEARANCE, CLOSEOUT, or ALL SALES FINAL.

To return an item, please call in advance for a RGA code. Returns must also be accompanied with a copy of the original invoice. This is very important! Without these items, a return is not possible.



14. Can the combination be changed on any locks without removing the back plate?
No. All of our locks are totally mechanical. The only way to change the combination is by removing the backplate of the lock and adjusting the location of the pins.



15. Do you have any keyless locks in which multiple combinations can be used at the same time?
No. Only one combination per lock can be used at a time.

However, on some of our locks you can purchase a key override to allow access without the combination and you can also change the combination as often as you wish in only a matter of minutes.



16. The instructions call for a 22mm hole, but I can't find a 22mm drill bit in a store. Help!
No problem. 22mm is equivalent to 1" bore. The deadbolt needs a 1" bore.



17. Is there any discount for buying multiple locks?
Yes! You can get $10 off each lock you order when ordering 4 or more locks. Simply enter the promotional code volume before you proceed to checkout and you will automatically get the reduced price.



18. Would I need a professional to install any of these locks?
No, you can easily do this yourself. All locks come with step-by-step Installation Instructions which are very easy to follow. In most cases, these locks can be installed in as little as 10-15 minutes. These instructions include:
  • Parts List
  • Left/Right Hand Use
  • Easy Installation
  • Operating Instructions

19. Can these deadbolt locks be locked as well as unlocked from the outside?
Yes, our keyless combination deadbolts can be locked and unlocked from the inside or the outside.

To lock the deadbolt from the outside, simply turn the knob and the door is locked. To unlock from the outside, enter the combination, turn the knob and enter!



20. Do you have any other door hardware, like lever door handles, in matching finishes?
Yes, we currently have a beautiful bright gold lever door handle as shown in the photograph at the top of this page and several other new items that will be added to the site soon. Please email us for now if you would like to order any of these.



21. Do you have a lock that can be installed on an interior pocket door?
Yes, the 2500 Series - Hookbolt for Sliding Doors can also be installed on an interior pocket door. Just keep in mind that since the lock is mount on the door itself and extends out a little from the door, you won't be able to slide the door completely back into the pocket opening. This is usually not a problem.



22. Are any of your locks ADA (American Disability Act) compliant?
Yes, the 1150 series lock is ADA compliant.
