Install with confidence
How to install lever handle locks
Installing a lever handle lock is straightforward and suitable for most drawers or storage units that require robust mechanical locking.
01
Step 1 – Mark and cut the recess
Measure and mark the opening for the lock body on your door or panel. Cut the recess so the lock sits flush and allows the handle and latch tongue to operate without interference.
02
Step 2 – Position and fasten the lock body
Place the lock into the cut-out and attach it using appropriate fixings. Ensure the latch tongue aligns with the frame or strike point before tightening all screws.
03
Step 3 – Install the strike plate or catch
Fit the strike plate or catch to the frame, tool case body or adjoining surface. Test the latch engagement and adjust until the door or drawer closes correctly.
04
Step 4 – Test key locking and handle action
Insert the key to confirm smooth key-lockable operation and check that the paddle handle opens and closes without sticking. Ensure the lock provides firm closure and proper security.
