Purchasing a door lock or window lock

The first step in lock replacement is to purchase the right lock. These factors should be taken into account:

• The type of door or window: With a rebated door, part of the door falls on the doorframe when the door is closed. So the door sticks out. A stubby door drops all the way into the door. For a push-on door, you cannot use heavy locks that are very burglar-resistant. The lock must then be mounted too much against the door edge. This deteriorates the burglar resistance of the door.

What material the door or window is made of: Metal, wood or plastic.

The direction of rotation of the door or window: A door turns either left or right or outward or inward. This does not affect the type of lock that is best to purchase. Check a lock’s product information to see which direction of rotation it is suitable for.

Different door locks

There is a wide range of door locks. They are divided into two categories.

Main locks can again be subdivided into subcategories:

Different window locks

Much attention is given to door locks as burglary prevention. Window locks, however, should not be forgotten. Windows are also frequently broken open. What window locks are there?

How do you replace a (narrow) mortise lock with a loose cylinder?

You have an overlay lock with a loose cylinder and want to replace the cylinder lock. Fortunately, replacing the entire lock is not necessary. You only need to replace the cylinder. The cylinder is a metal tube into which you push the key.

How do you replace a mortise lock with a loose cylinder?

1. Insert the key and turn the lock.
2. If you have security hardware, remove it from the door first. Do you just have batter? Then you can just leave it in place.
3. Look on the side of the door (on the side where the door opens). About the height of the lock is a screw. Remove the screw.
4. Pull the cylinder. The cylinder comes out without any problems.
5. Replace the cylinder with another cylinder.
6. Tighten the screw back into the lock. If necessary, place the security hardware back around your lock.

How do you replace an overlay lock with a loose cylinder?

2. Put your key in your lock and turn it slightly to the left or right.
3. Remove the cylinder from the lock.
4. You can usually pull the cylinder out of your lock without any problems. Are you not succeeding? Sometimes the hardware is mounted a little crooked, therefore the cylinder is stuck. Unscrew the hardware. Now you can pull the cylinder out of the lock.

2. You place the overlay lock on the door. Place the new overlay lock on the door and screw it in place.
3. On the side of the lock are two parts that stick out and can be pressed in. Those parts are called the latch and the deadbolt. There are cavities in your doorframe into which the latch and deadbolt should fall. Isn’t it? Then use a chisel to poke out some wood, so the latch and deadbolt do fall into door post.

How do you replace a (narrow-lock) multi-point lock?

Replacing a multi-point lock is not exactly easy. Would you still prefer to do it yourself? Unscrew your multi-point lock and take it to a professional hardware store or lock store. If you buy a new lock with the same dimensions, you do not need to make any additional adjustments.
