5 lever lock for double timber doors with a rebate?

[Deansplit]

Hi, just posted this on Windows and Doors but thinking maybe a better Q for a joiner?

Can you advise on the best solution to have a 5 lever lock for double timber doors with a rebate (ie. one door closes first with top and bottom up & down bolts, then the other door closes to it, but the edges both overlap like 2 L's by cross section)?

I presume a surface mounted rim lock is my only option, but I just don't like them, would prefer if the lock and keeper was integrated into the door, but part of the lock will surely always show?

If you mean like french doors then they are freely available.

ask at the same place you bought the lock for a rebate kit to suit that lock

a rebate component fills the gap, they are usually 13mm or 25mm. The rebate is often listed with a decent lock, try a website doorchic.co.uk perhaps? Use a ‘mortice door bolts’ top and bottom for extra security.
