XFORT® 3 Lever Polished Chrome Mortice Sashlock 75mm, Door Lock with Key for Internal and External Doors, Door Latch Mechanism and Key Locking Door Security, CE Approved and Fire Rated Protection

Replaced an old existing lock. Seems robust and no issues with the reversible part mentioned in some of the reviews. Excellent value.

It looks nice when installed, the rotation of the latch does require some force and will inevitably scratch the brass finish unless you wrap your pliars with a few wraps of electrical tape or a thick cloth, the removable front plate takes up an additional 1.5-2mm of space you need to account for when chiseling out clearance in a door. I was replacing a 20 year old FOCUS 3 lever mortice sashlock that was getting overly annoying with the latch getting stuck in the casing when fully engaging the handle and this works just fine. The front plate is very flimsy and bends without even trying, so what I did was to get a microfibre cloth and fold it 4-5 times and i used a flat punch and hammer with the punch wrapped in the folded cloth to make sure i could hammer the front plate straight onto the body of the sashlock while it was installed to protect the brass finish and make it sit perfectly flat against the body of the sashlock. The lock is rather stiff and a bit of a bother with the keys being roughly cut and not smoothed but i dont mind that much at all, the lever does make a nice chunky clicking sound when it engages and returns to its position and it doesn't fully retract into the body and get stuck like with my old FOCUS sashlock so this is a perfect replacement for me. It does come with a black plastic lever hideyhole thing for you to install in the frame behind the plate that keeps the lever and lock in position, but I could not be bothered to chisel out even more wood to install it.

Brilliant just perfect for the job, recommend

This door lock seemed okay, I had a couple of more keys cut. They would not work. Then the orginal keys would only work intermittently, not very happy

Perfect is, satisfying.

As other reviewers have mentioned, the faceplate attached to the catch unit was bent as both ends, making it harder to attach the brass outer faceplate. It also made it much harder to slot into the hole in the door where the old unit used to be, even though they are dimensionally exactly the same with the holes, lock, etc in exactly the same places. The whole unit feels cheap and flimsy, although once properly fitted it would take some considerable force to break through the door. It doesn't quite click into place completely with the existing touchplate on the door frame, but if I fit the one that came with this unit in sure that would be different. I won't be buying another one; I'd rather spend a few quid extra to get a better quality one that isn't bent upon arrival. I only went for this one because of the reversible latch bolt, but other manufacturers also provide this feature in one form or another. Such a shame - so nearly an excellent product, just let down by the odd bad components. Maybe a new revision of this product will address these issues, and it will truly be worth being ahead of the competition.

Easy to install, but elements look a bit rattling. Basically you get what you’re paying for. Can’t really complain at this price.

Good buy, a full comprehensive fitting kit. Sturdy and functional. Price was good too. Well happy.
