It replaced a European lock of the same type. The installation required of the lock cylinder hole to be enlarged. The hole was enlarged by sanding ( the cylinder was only .003")

This is certainly a vary good product and will be used on another piece. I am still trying to use the original locking devise for my antique cabinet door. Even thought yours would be much easier to install I want to keep the door as close to original as possible.

I am a caregiver and I needed this lock to use on a folding door going down the stairs and I already have the same lock on another folding door in the house leading to the upstairs.
Thank you:)

how does it work?
noe c on May 2, 2015
BEST ANSWER: This lock is designed to mount from the back side, the cylinder is slid through a hole made by you about 3/4" wide and deep, mounting screws attach it from the back, it comes with a nice beauty trim ring, finishes off with the catch plate which is mortised into the desk top. Bored deeper to allow clear and positive latching, a very sturdy lock, I purchased two and the work perfectly !
Can an installation diagram be provided?
Tim M on Jan 30, 2018
BEST ANSWER: Comes with. This is a difficult lock to install right on the first try. The trick is getting the center of the core high enough to make sure that the plate lowers far enough to engage the latch hooks.
The tambour lock is more forgiving. I use it exclusively for my locking pistol boxes.
Does this lock spread open to lock and close together to unlock?
Joshua H on Feb 21, 2016
BEST ANSWER: Joshua,
Yes this lock spreads open to lock and closes together to unlock. The tabs on the locking mechanism catch on the back side of the plate once in the lock/full open position. You will need to mortise an area deep enough behind the plate to allow the locking mechanism tabs to go past the plate.

Is this self locking, meaning will it lock without the the key
Dennis W on Mar 18, 2016
BEST ANSWER: Yes. As long as the strike is installed properly
Can this lock be used to lock two adjacent cabinet doors?
James M on Aug 11, 2017
BEST ANSWER: I used this lock for a cedar chest I built for my grand daughter. I used it because I didn't want any thing to show other than were the key went in the front. I would suggest you use a couple of scrap wood pieces before you mount it to the doors. Getting the latch aligned is very important to being able to make the lock work.
So it’s a push button release without the key, and if you turn the key it requires the key to open?
Tthomas on May 4, 2018
BEST ANSWER: No, that is not a pushbutton release. You can lock it with out the key by letting the rolltop close by itself, but you must have the key to unlock it.
