• Marine grade stainless, or 316 stainless steel, is a molybdenum-alloyed steel and is the second most common austenite stainless steel (after grade 304). It is the preferred steel for use in marine environments because of its greater resistance to pitting corrosion than other grades of steel

FOR STANDARD INTERNAL DOORS THAT YOU SIMPLY WANT TO OPEN & CLOSE:

• Fit a standard tubular latch

• 2.5 inch is the popular size, you would generally only require a longer latch when fitting door knobs. The longer the latch is, the greater the distance from the door handle or door knob to the door frame itself.

•  Select a 'latch' style handle.

FOR BATHROOM DOORS THAT REQUIRE A PRIVACY LOCK:

• Fit a bathroom mortice lock or a tubular dead bolt

• The 2.5 inch 'economy' bathroom lock is the popular choice

• Select a 'bath' style handle, this style has a turn & release built into the backplate to operate the privacy bolt within the bathroom lock or tubular dead bolt

• All of our bathroom 'turns & releases' allow emergeny use from the outside with the edge of a coin or something similar.

FOR DOORS THAT YOU WANT TO LOCK WITH A KEY:

• Fit a sash lock or dead lock, you may require an 'insurance rated' lock for doors that lead to the outside.

• The 2.5 inch 'standard' 3 lever or the 'insurance rated' 5 lever sash locks are the popular choices

• Select a 'lock' style handle, these have the 'keyhole' cut outs

• If your fitting a British 'standard' sash lock (these are supplied with long 'chubb' style keys), you will require 'standard profile' escutcheons. 'Euro' & 'oval' profile escutcheons are actually cylinder covers, for European style key cylinders.

IF YOU REQUIRE HINGES: 

• Most joiners recommend 3 hinges per door as opposed to 1 pair. This gives a firmer fix to the door frame and can help guard against the potential issues of the door warping, due perhaps to changes in the environment

• For internal doors, the 3 inch ball bearing hinges are the popular choice. Ball bearing hinges provide a very smooth action when opening or closing the door

• For external doors or fire doors, the 4 inch ball bearing hinges are usually recommended

• All of our ball bearing hinges are available in various finishes to match that of your chosen door handles or door knobs
