Hi guys.
Im about to make a door pair (timber) that has the rebate where the doors meet, to avoid the gap and resulting draft down the middle. The doors will be 44mm thick, so i was going to do the rebate 12mm by half the door thickness, so 12mm x 22mm.
I wanted to fit a multi point lock. The ERA 5345 seems to be what i want in terms of deadbolts on the slave door and a multi point locking system, however the instructions found online are pretty poor. All they state with regards to routing is "Door and frame must be of an approved pattern and be ROUTED in accordance with respective MPL drawings".
How would a rebated lock be fitted to a rebated door? Will it simply fit on one side of the 22mm rebate? Or will it be fitted to the centre of the door thickness making the rebate thinner?
Or, would it be easier to make the door pair without a rebate and fit some sort of draft prevention strip?
thanks
