Re: Night latch installation

Hello @5cutekiddies 

 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about your night latch.

 

Generally speaking, installing a door lock involves a few key steps to ensure proper alignment and functionality. The process begins by marking the correct placement for the lock components on the door using a template. After the markings are made, holes are drilled to accommodate the lock cylinder and screws. The exterior cylinder is then inserted through the front of the door and secured in place. The lock mechanism is fitted into the door, adjusted as needed, and fastened securely. Lastly, the strike plate is attached to the doorframe, aligned with the lock, and fixed in position. This general approach provides a solid foundation for a standard lock installation.

 

Here is a handy instruction manual for the Ikonic Night Latch which looks similar to your one: Ikonic Night Latch

 

I also suggest looking at the stores Door Lock Installation service if you wish to have it installed by a professional.

 

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
