With this listing, by answering a couple of short questions, you can create a kit customised to your needs:

For "Passage" doors (e.g. a bedroom that doesn't need locking), you will generally need a lever/knob + a Tube Latch. If it's a double door, you may also require flush Bolts.

Flush Bolts are used to secure Double Doors, You can choose non-lockable and key-lockable option in various lengths.

When using flush bolts:

For "Privacy" doors (e.g. a bathroom, en suite or a bedroom that you want to lock from the inside by turning a snib) you will generally need a Privacy Mortice Lock. (technically it is possible to also use a tube latch and privacy bolt, however this type of installation leaves little room for error as the latch and bolt will be installed very close together). If you have a strong prefer to install with a latch and bolt, please find these in the "we also recommend section" at the bottom of this page.

For "Entrance" doors (e.g. a front / back door or any door that you want to lock with a key) you will generally need:

Flush Bolts

Depending on the weight of your door, you will generally need 3 hinges for an Entrance door (which are more solid) and 2 hinges for internal doors.

  • For taller doors (2100mm and above) most customers prefer to use a 300mm on top of the door and 150mm on the bottom for extra security and protection against the wind. Alternatively, some customer's use a magnetic catch (such a PLS24PRO Magnetic Catch).
  • A Mortice lock (if you have a rebated (slightly overlapping) double door, please choose a "rebated" version (which also comes with a rebate kit)
  • Once you've determined the thickness of your door, you can select either a "Key/Key" (lock and unlock with a key from both sides) or a "Key/Thumb" (meaning you can lock the door from the inside using thumb turn, instead of a key). The choice here is one of personal preference.

  • Ball Bearing - We recommend using these for Entrance and heavier doors. This is because the ball bearing reduces friction on the hinge and stops squeaking and wearing of the hinge
  • Fixed Pin - Mainly used on internal doors. They can also be used on entrance doors that are not heavy
  • Loose Pin - Internal use only. Mostly used on bathroom door so the door can be removed (lifted off) in the locked position (e.g. in case of an emergency)
