TOOLS REQUIRED

On models 505, 515 and
525 note the slotted turn
within the bottom left hand
button. If the slot is in the
vertical position it signifies
that a code is needed each
time to operate the lever
handle. Enter the code from
the code card and the lever
handle should turn fully
to 80 degrees, and then
spring back to horizontal.
Enter the code again, turn
the slot to the horizontal
position and the lock will be
in code-free access mode.
Return the slot to the
vertical position and after
one further free turn of the
handle the lock will be in
code control mode again.

Turn the front plate over
and note that the red tipped
tumblers inside correspond
to the code. The code
may be entered in any
sequence, i.e. 1370 may
be entered as 3710 or any
other sequence of those
numbers. There are a total
of 2,047 codes available
on the 500, 510 and 520
locks, any of which may be
entered in any order. There
are 1,023 codes available
on the 505, 515 and 525.

If you intend to change the
code you should do it, if
convenient, before installing
the lock – see the Code
Change Instructions in the
separate sheet.

BOX CONTENTS

CHECK OPERATION
OF THE CODED
FRONT PLATE

STEP 2

Take the BLUE or RED tipped
spindle and fit to the code
side according to the hand of
your door (see diagram).

Fit the butterfly spindle to the
inside, non-code side.

STEP

3

Check that the lever handles
are correctly fitted for the
hand of door. To change the
hand of a lever handle, loosen
the grub screw with the small
Allen key, reverse the lever
handle and fully tighten the
grub screw.

STEP

4

Cut two of the black socket
head screws to the required
length for your door.

Approximate overall length
should be door thickness plus
25mm, to allow about 10mm
of threaded bolt to enter the
outside plate.

STEP

5

Apply the front and back
plates, with the neoprene
seals in position, against the
door, over the protruding
ends of the spindle.

STEP

6

Fix the two plates together
using the socket head bolts,
starting with the top fixing.
Ensure that the two plates
are truly vertical and then
tighten the bolts using the ‘T’
shaped Allen key. Do not use
excessive force.

STEP

7

Before closing the door,
enter the code and ensure
that the latchbolt will retract
when the lever handle is
depressed. Now check the
operation of the inside lever
handle. If there is any binding
of the handles or latch then
loosen the bolts slightly and
reposition the plates slightly
until the correct position is
found, and then re-tighten
the bolts.

IF YOUR LOCKCASE ONLY HAS
HOLES ON EITHER SIDE OF
THE FOLLOWER (FIGURE 1 ‘B’),
PROCEED AS FOLLOWS:

STEP 1

Hold the black neoprene seal
with the three holes against
the door, perfectly vertically,
with the rectangular hole
centrally over the follower.
Mark the top hole and the
holes on either side of the
follower, if not already drilled,
then repeat the procedure
on the other side of the door.
Mark an extra hole on the
inside of the door in line with
the bottom fixing hole.

Remove the lock.

Drill the 3x 12mm holes
from both sides for greater
accuracy, and to avoid
splintering out of the door
face. Check that the existing
spindle hole is at least 18mm.
Drill the extra 12mm hole
5mm deep on the inside of
the door to accept the fixing
nut on the adaptor plate.

Replace the lock.

STEP

2

Take the BLUE or RED tipped
spindle and fit to the code
side according to the hand
of your door (see diagram).

The model 500/505 is intended to replace the conventional door furniture
fitted to an existing mortice latch, or an existing mortice lock which has both
a spring latch and a deadbolt. The square follower should be 8mm square.
Any lock and key mechanism is retained to operate the deadbolt.
The latchbolt will only operate by code, and NOT by key.

A mortice lock case should have holes for fixing bolts to pass through on
either side of the square latch follower and sometimes, additionally, a hole
below the follower. See figure 1 and confirm that your lockcase is compatible
with the 500/505 lock plates.

IF YOUR LOCKCASE HAS A HOLE
BELOW THE FOLLOWER (FIGURE
1 ‘A’), PROCEED AS FOLLOWS:

STEP 1

Hold the black neoprene seal
with the three holes against
the door, perfectly vertically,
with the rectangular hole
centrally over the follower
Mark the top and bottom
holes on the door face,
and repeat the procedure
on the other side of the
door. Remove the lock. At
both points drill a 12mm
hole through the door. Drill
from both sides for greater
accuracy and to avoid
splintering out of the door
face. Check that the existing
spindle hole is at least 18mm
diameter. Replace the lock

STEP 1

Lightly mark a height line on
the edge and both faces of the
door, and on the door jamb,
to indicate the top of the lock
when fitted.

Crease the template along the
dotted line, and tape it to the
door with the top in line with
the height line.

Mark the 2x 12mm and the
1x 30mm holes. Mark the
centre of the door edge on the
Centre Line of Latch. Remove
the template and apply it to
the other side of the door,
aligning it accurately with the
first Centre Line of Latch mark.
Mark the 4 holes again.

STEP

2

Keeping the drill level and
square to the door, drill a
25mm hole to accept the latch.

STEP

3

Keeping the drill level and
square to the door, drill the
12mm and 30mm holes from
both sides of the door to
increase accuracy and to avoid
splintering out the door face.

STEP

4

Put the latch into the hole
and, holding it square to the
door edge, draw around the
faceplate. Remove the latch
and score the outline with a
Stanley knife to avoid splitting
when chiselling. Chisel a rebate
to allow the latch to fit flush to
the surface.

The model 510/515 has a tubular, deadlocking, mortice latch and may be used
as a new installation on a door, or where an existing latch is to be replaced.

MODEL 510/515 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

STEP 2 (continued)

Fit the butterfly spindle to the
inside, non-code side.

STEP

3

Check that the lever handles
are correctly fitted for the
hand of door. To change the
hand of a lever handle, loosen
the grub screw with the small
Allen key, reverse the lever
handle and fully tighten the
grub screw.

STEP

4

Take the adaptor kit, item 13
on the contents page. Cut
the two M5 countersunk head
bolts to length to suit the door
thickness; i.e. door thickness
plus a maximum of 10mm
(no more than 5mm should
enter the front plate). Hold
the front plate, with the three
hole neoprene seal, against
the door over the protruding
spindle. From the other side
of the door, fix the adaptor
plate to the front plate using
the two M5 countersunk
bolts. Before tightening up
the fixings, make sure that
the spindle hole is centrally
positioned over the follower.
Do not use excessive force.

STEP

5

Cut one of the long black
socket head screws to the
required length for your door.
Approximate overall length
should be door thickness
plus 25mm, to allow about
10mm of threaded bolt to
enter the front plate.

Place the neoprene gasket
over the adaptor plate.
Use the screw with the
‘T’ shaped Allen key, to fix
the back plate to the front
plate through the TOP hole.
Using the 20mm socket
head screw fix the back plate
through the BOTTOM hole
to the adaptor plate. Do not
use excessive force.

STEP

6

Before closing the door,

enter the code and check
that the latchbolt retracts
when the lever handle is
depressed. Now check the
operation of the inside lever
handle. If there is any binding
of the handles or latch then
loosen the top and bottom
bolts and reposition the
plates slightly until the correct
position is found, and then re­tighten the bolts.

STEP 5

Fix the latch with the wood
screws, with the bevel towards
the door frame.

STEP

6

Fitting the strike plate.

NB: The plunger beside the
latchbolt deadlocks it, to
protect against manipulation
or ‘shimming’. The strike plate
must be accurately installed so
that the plunger CANNOT enter
the aperture when the door is
closed, even if it is slammed shut.

Position the strike plate on the
door frame so that it lines up
with the flat of the latchbolt,
and NOT the plunger. Mark the
positions of the fixing screws,
and draw around the aperture
of the strike plate. Chisel out
the aperture 15mm deep to
receive the latchbolt. Fix the
strike plate to the surface of
the frame using only the top
fixing screw. Gently close
the door and check that the
latchbolt enters the aperture
easily, and is held without too
much ‘play’. When satisfied,
draw around the outline of
the strike plate, remove it and
cut a rebate to enable the
faceplate to lie flush with the
surface. Re-fix the strike plate
using both screws.

NB Ensure enough room
for the latch support post

NB Space required above

Model 520/525 is a complete locking unit with all the parts necessary for a
new installation, or the total replacement of an existing lock.

IMPORTANT The mortice lock provided (fig. 2) has features which are not found in most other
locks and so it is recommended that you familiarise yourself with them as follows:

MODEL 520/525 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

STEP 7

Check that the lever handles
are correctly fitted for the
hand of door. To change the
hand of a lever handle, loosen
the grub screw with the small
Allen key, reverse the lever
handle and fully tighten the
grub screw.

STEP

8

Take the BLUE or RED tipped
spindle and fit to the code
side according to the hand
of your door (see diagram).

Fit the butterfly spindle to
the inside, non-code side.

STEP

9

Fit latch support post into
back of the code side front
plate according to the hand
of your door, A for a right
hand door, or B for a left
hand door (see diagram).

STEP 10

Cut two of the back socket
head bolts to the required
length for your door.
Approximate overall length
should be door thickness plus
25mm to allow about 10mm
of threaded bolt to enter the
outside plate.

STEP 11

Apply the front and back
plates, with the neoprene
seals in position, against the
door, over the protruding
ends of the spindle.

STEP

12

Fix the two plates together
using the socket head bolts,
starting with the top fixing.
Ensure that the two plates
are truly vertical and then
tighten the bolts using the ‘T’
shaped Allen key. Do not use
excessive force.

STEP

13

Before closing the door,
enter the code and ensure
that the latchbolt will retract
when the lever handle is
depressed. Now check the
operation of the inside lever
handle. If there is any binding
of the handles or latch then
loosen the bolts slightly and
reposition the plates slightly
until the correct position is
found, and then re-tighten
the bolts.

A. When necessary the hand

of the latchbolt can be
changed by removing the
three screws holding the
faceplate to the lockcase,
loosen the screw holding
the latchbolt in place,
reverse the latchbolt, and
tighten the screw back up,
ensuring that the latchbolt
is central.

B. Put the key in the cylinder

and insert it centrally into
the lockcase. Fix it in
position with the long bolt
through the faceplate. It
should now be possible
to project and retract the
deadbolt with the key, and
also to retract the latchbolt.

C. The square latchbolt

follower is in 2 parts: the
inside ‘panic function’
follower will retract the
latchbolt and also the
deadbolt when it is
projected. The effect of
this is to ensure that it is
not possible to accidentally
lock someone in a room
because the deadbolt is
projected. The outside
follower will always retract
the latchbolt whenever the
lever handle is depressed
after a correct code is
entered, but it will

not

retract the deadbolt.

The hand of the ‘panic

function’ is determined as
follows: the grub screws
on the split follower facing
the code side must be
removed. This prevents the
outside handle retracting
the deadbolt.

NEVER remove grub
screws from both sides at
the same time.

All door locks should be
installed with a degree of
precision to ensure that all
components are horizontally
and vertically accurate in
relation to each other, and in
relation to the door.

Do not install the lock where
it will involve cutting into a
joint between the door stile
and a mid-rail.

STEP 1

Lightly mark a height line on
the edge and both faces of
the door, and the door jamb,
to indicate the top of the lock
when fitted. Mark a line down
the centre of the door edge,
extending above the height line
and 300mm below it.

STEP

2

Hold the template against the
edge of the door with the top
in line with the height line, and
with the arrows in line with the
‘Centre of Door Edge’ line.
Mark the positions of the
fixing screws, and the holes to
be drilled for the mortice.

STEP

3

Apply tape to the 16mm drill
bit at 90mm from the tip to
act as a depth guide when
drilling the mortice holes.
Ensure the drill is level and
parallel to the door face and
drill the holes as indicated
on the template. Remove the
remaining wood with a chisel
to leave a clean mortice hole
which accepts the lockcase
without forcing. With the lock
in the mortice make sure that
the forend is parallel with
the door edge and mark the
outline of the forend plate. Cut
the outline with a Stanley knife
to avoid splitting out when
chiselling. Chisel a rebate
sufficient to accept the forend
flush with the surface.

STEP

4

Fold the template accurately
along the dotted line and tape
it to the door face with the top
in line with the height line, and
the fold on the door edge. Mark
the centres of all the holes to
be drilled. Remove the template
and repeat the procedure on
the other face of the door.

STEP

5

Drill the holes from both
sides of the door to improve
accuracy and to avoid
splintering out the door face.

STEP

6

Install the lockcase in the
door.

STEP

7

Cut two of the black socket
head bolts to the required
length for your door.

Approximate overall length
should be door thickness plus
25mm to allow about 10mm
of threaded bolt to enter the
outside plate.

STEP

8

Take the BLUE or RED tipped
spindle and fit to the code
side according to the hand of
your door (see diagram).

Fit the butterfly spindle to the
inside, non-code side.

STEP

9

Check that the lever handles
are correctly fitted for the hand
of door. To change the hand of
a lever handle, loosen the grub
screw with the small Allen key,
reverse the lever handle and
fully tighten the grub screw.

STEP 10

Apply the front and back
plates, with the neoprene
seals in position, against the
door, over the protruding ends
of the spindle.

STEP 11

Fix the two plates together
using the socket head bolts,
starting with the top fixing.
Ensure that the two plates
are truly vertical and then
tighten the bolts using the ‘T’
shaped Allen key. Do not use
excessive force.

STEP 1

2

Before closing the door,
enter the code and check that
the latchbolt will retract when
the lever handle is depressed.
Now check the operation of
the inside lever handle. If there
is any binding of the handles
or the latch then loosen
the bolts and reposition the
plates slightly until the correct
position is found, and then
re-tighten the bolts.

STEP 1

3

Fit the double Euro-profile
cylinder and secure it with
the long screw through the
faceplate. Fit the cylinder
escutcheons.

STEP 1

4

Check that the deadbolt will
project and retract by key, and
that the key will also retract
the latchbolt.

Check that the inside lever
handle WILL retract the
deadbolt simultaneously with
the latchbolt.

Check that the outside lever
handle WILL NOT retract the
deadbolt.

STEP 15

Mark a vertical line on the door
jamb half the door thickness
away from the door stop. This
gives the centre line of the strike
plate. Align the Strike Plate
Template with the height line,
with the arrow heads aligned
with the centre line. Mark the
fixing holes, and draw around
the apertures for the latchbolt
and the deadbolt. Chisel out the
latch aperture to 12mm deep,
and the deadbolt aperture to
22mm deep.

Fix the strike plate with the top
screw only and gently close the
door. Ensure that the latchbolt
enters its aperture easily and
holds the door without too
much ‘play’. When satisfied,
draw around the final position
of the strike plate, remove it,
and cut a rebate to allow it to fit
flush to the surface. Re-fix the
strike with both screws.
