What is in the box
This table comes from the product photographs, mainly 70610 AB, 70721 AB and 70900 MBET. Count the parts on your sample before you approve the order, because the inside trim and the keys differ by model.
| Part | Side of the door | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Grip with thumbpiece | Outside | Press the thumbpiece to withdraw the latch |
| Knob, lever or second grip | Inside | Turns or presses to withdraw the latch |
| Deadbolt key cylinder with tail | Outside | Throws the deadbolt by key |
| Thumbturn on its own plate | Inside | Throws the deadbolt by hand |
| Latch body | Door edge | 13mm latch extension |
| Deadbolt body | Door edge | 25mm throw with hardened steel insert |
| Two strike plates | Frame | One for the latch, one for the deadbolt |
| Keys | Loose | Three in the 70610 AB photograph |
| Screw pack | Loose | Fixes the trim, the bodies and the strikes |
Pick the inside trim first
The outside grip is what the visitor sees. The inside trim is what separates the models, and it is the detail most often left off a purchase order.
- Inside knob: 70610, 70710, 70720, 70750 and 70780.
- Inside lever: 70722 DC and 70900 MBET.
- Grip on both sides: 70721 AB.
- No key at all: 70900 MBBK has a plain turn outside and a turn button inside, for privacy doors.
What to tell a supplier
- Door thickness: these sets list 35mm to 45mm.
- Backset: 60mm or 70mm, adjustable on both the latch and the deadbolt.
- Cross bore: we list 51mm, so send the bore on your door.
- Hole spacing: send the center distance between the deadbolt and latch holes.
- Inside trim: knob, lever or second grip.
- Function: keyed entrance or privacy.
- Finish: one finish code for every part on the door.
- Keying: state keyed different or keyed alike, and have it confirmed against your order.
Check the door preparation before you order
A grip set is the part of the order most likely to arrive and not fit, because the door has been drilled before the hardware is chosen. We list a 51mm cross bore. Common North American door preparation uses 54mm (2-1/8 in) bores, with the two holes 140mm (5-1/2 in) apart. Those are trade figures, not Stahlock specifications. If your doors are already drilled, send the drilling drawing and have the plate cover and the hole spacing confirmed against your drawing. A sample on one drilled door settles it before the container is booked.
The grip also has a lower fixing post that runs through the door. A door drilled only for a knob and a deadbolt needs that extra hole, so add it to the door maker's schedule.
Materials and fixings to compare
- 70610, 70710, 70720, 70721, 70722, 70750 and 70780 list zinc alloy.
- 70900 MBET and 70900 MBBK list aluminum.
- The sets list solid steel internal construction.
- The sets list no exposed exterior fixings.
- Keyed sets list a free-turning cylinder ring that resists wrenching.
- The 70610 to 70900 sets are listed for left or right hand doors.
One model that is built differently
DH02 carries the same family name but is a different construction. The photographs show two long plates, one with a fixed pull and one with a lever, each with a euro cylinder opening. It has no thumbpiece and no separate deadbolt. We list a 270 x 47 x 1mm panel, 72mm or 85mm center distance and 35mm to 50mm doors, and calls it a mortise lever handle lock. Order it for a door with a mortise pocket, not for a door bored for a grip set. The lock case and cylinder are not listed for that set, so confirm what is in the box.
Questions buyers ask
Does a grip handle lock include the deadbolt?
Yes, on the 70610 to 70900 sets. The photographs show a separate deadbolt with a key cylinder outside and a thumbturn inside. It sits above the grip and has its own bolt and strike.
What do I need to tell a grip handle lock manufacturer?
Send door thickness, backset, cross bore, the distance between the two holes, inside trim, function, finish and keying. A drawing of the door preparation answers most of these in one page.
Will these sets fit a door already drilled for a 54mm bore?
We list a 51mm cross bore, so do not assume it. Send the drilling drawing and have the plate cover confirmed against your drawing, then test one sample on one door.
Are the sets handed?
They are listed as non-handed, for left or right hand doors. Still state the hand of the door on the order, because a lever trim must be set up to point the right way.
Can a grip set go on a door thicker than 45mm?
The listed range stops at 45mm. For a thicker door, send the thickness and have the screws and the spindle confirmed against your drawing before you order.
