new/reclaimed locks/mechanism for reclaimed doors.

[paulo12345]

Hello,

I have hung a number of reclaimed victorian 4 panel doors but they do not have any catch/lock mechanisms in them.

Most have a rectangular hole in the side with a key hole approx 4 cm from the door edge and door handle hole apporx 14cm from the door edge. When i went to B and Q they do not have any lock mechanisms that are even close to these measurements. Are these standard sizes? Is it possible to get new/reclaimed lock mechanisms i can fit in these doors?

Thanks.

Sorry my error, I meant horizontal locks,

Thanks, that looks like its exactly what i'm after.

You don't happen to have any ideas for some other doors where i don't want a lock or the recesses are not there where i want a handle that can open a latch from either side. I am probably after a mechanism that is very easy to fit and ideally attaches to the outside of the door (to save me having to hollow sections out).

Thanks for your help.

Rim sash locks.

Think there are some without the locking bolt, or just do not use it.

Perfect. Thanks again.
