Which lock is right for me?
Yale Doormaster™ locks are designed to fit most PVCu, Composite and Timber Doors, but to be sure which products fit your door follow these steps and note down the answers:
-
1. Check what your door is made of
Is it PVCu, Timber or Composite?
2. Measure the Faceplate
Measure the width A of the metal faceplate on your existing lock.
3. Measure the Centres
Measure the distance B between the centre of the cylinder and the centre of the door handle – this must be 92mm for any Yale Doormaster™ lock to fit your door.
Please note: If the handles inside and outside the door are at different heights, measure the centres on both. If either are 92mm you will be able to fit this lock, but will require new handles – see Yale Replacement PVCu Door Handles.
4. Measure the Backset
Measure the distance C between the centre of the cylinder and the metal faceplate of the lock (not the edge of the door).
5. Measure the Reach
If your door doesn’t have hooks or bolts at the top and bottom, (as well as in the centre) this product may fit your door: Yale Doormaster™ Universal.
If your door does have hooks at the top and bottom, measure the distance between the handle spindle and the top D and bottom E hook/bolts.
Now based on the answers to the questions above, use this table to see which Doormaster™ lock fits your door.
