I'm not falling for that you know but there's always a trap, doors appear to be made to no recognised standard, apart for the option of a kitemarked euro cylinder ? sort of thing often found on a porta unit... your mag lock will reduce the head of the door & should be in transom if you've not purchased the door & frame, an alloy door with a sash lock & deadlock factory fitted would be my preference Quote Mr Veritas God Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it didn't interfere with the shoot bolt system, it could maybe go at the top of the jamb... Door is all installed BTW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrHappy Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 a yale / cisa latch (you will need to fit the lock cylinder if its he only entrance) or a surface solenoid bolt is what I probably look to do. Quote Mr Veritas God Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Driller Posted November 20, 2019 Author Share Posted November 20, 2019 Fellas, can you confirm that the armature fixing bolt needs to go all the way through the door leaf and out the other side? Logically with the pulling forces involved I guess it must do but I never considered having a bolt head on the external side so it seems odd. On the other hand I cant imagine sourcing an 8mm self cutting screw and holding it on with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Driller Posted November 20, 2019 Author Share Posted November 20, 2019 Sometimes when I come here and ask questions, it reminds me of being at work. It's like pulling teeth. I'm here all week, the veal is reconstituted from Norway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.wilson Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 should go all the way through, should be a 'coach' type bolt so cant easily be removed. If thats a risk use a different type of lock Quote securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.
