Choosing Euro Locks for Tradco Lever Handles

Choosing Your Locks

Please see below, but we know this can get a bit complicated. Feel free to phone us for friendly assistance or click here to contact us by email.

Firstly, select the function by clicking on the small images to the right of the main image on the product product page.

After selecting your handle function (in this case Euro which is the image with the large keyhole in the backplate), you will be asked a number of questions.

  1. Do you need a lock? (If you don't have an existing lock in the door you will need one for this handle to function)

    1. No, I have existing locks or I plan to purchase them separately - Select this option if you are replacing handles onto doors that have existing locks and you wish to retain them or you would like to purchase your locks separately.
    2. Yes, I need locks - Select this option if you are installing the handles onto a new door or if you wish to replace your existing locks. *You will be presented with Question 2.

  2. Are you installing this handle on a single or double door?

    1. Single - Select this answer if installing the handle on a single door. *A box will appear where you can select your lock.
    2. Double - Select this answer if installing the handle on a double door. *You will presented with Question 3.

  3. Are your doors rebated? - Rebated doors are double doors that overlap (meet) with a lip on the vertical edge.

    1. No - Select this option if your double doors are not rebated. See reference image. *A box will appear where you can select your lock.
    2. Yes - Select this option if your double doors are rebated. See reference image. *A box will appear where you can select your lock.

At this stage, you will need to choose between 57mm and 46mm backset locks.
The backset is the distance from the edge of the door to the centre of where the handle will be installed. Please see the Measuring Your Backset page for more information (including images) on backsets.

Once you have selected your lock, you will be presented with another box to choose your cylinder.

Euro Cylinders are available in two styles:

  1. Key on Both Sides - Select this option for the added security of needing to use a key on both the inside and the outside of the door.
  2. Thumbturn on Inside - Select this option for the convenience of having a key on the outside of the door and a thumbturn on the inside to allow quicker exit when the door is locked.

Euro Cylinders come in a number of different sizes. If there are multiple sizes to choose from, hover over thesymbol above the list of cylinders for information on choosing the correct size cylinder.

*Please Note: The Euro Cylinder and Lock Body are reversible, so there is no need to consider which side the door is hinged on. The Lock Body utilises a reversible tongue.
