Hi,
I have recently fitted a door entry system to a front door, but need to make the door unable to be opened from the outside without the use of a key. It also needs to be able to be deadlocked from inside and outside.
At present, both the inside and outside handles open the door. I understand this to be a lever/lever system. I think that I require a lever/paddle system which would mean purchasing new handles. What I'm not sure about is the spindle and and locking mechanism. I'm pretty sure you can't just change the handles and be done with it, it would need a 'split-spindle'? I have also heard it may need the complete locking mechanism (deadlocking) replaced?
I would be most grateful if someone could clear this up for me and advise where I can purchase the required parts. I have attached photos if it helps.
Thanks.
