Three common types of locking
mechanisms:
1) Lever/Pad
Operation (usually front door)- When
closed the door is locked on the latch and cannot
be opened from the outside without a key. To double
lock the door, lift up the handle to engage the
locking points and then turn the key once to lock.
To unlock, if the door has been double-locked, turn
the key once, push handle down, turn key furthur to
unlock latch.
2) Lever/Lever
Operation (usually back door) - Lift the
handle to engage the locking points and then turn
the key once to lock. To unlock turn the key once,
and push down the handle.
3) Key Wind
Operation (front or back door) - Turn the
key 2 or more times to fully engage all of the
locking points. To unlock turn the key 2 or more
times to release the locking points.
Always Double-lock your UPVC
door
UPVC doors that have just been
pulled shut on the latch are not secure.
