What is a euro profile sash lock?

A euro profile sash lock is a mortice lock case that combines a latch and a deadbolt, designed to work with a euro profile cylinder for key operation.

Do euro profile sash locks work with euro lock door handles?

Yes. Euro profile sash locks are designed to pair with euro lock door handles on backplate and a compatible euro profile cylinder.

Are euro profile sash locks British Standard compliant?

Some are, but not all models meet British Standard. Check product details for BS/BS EN 12209 rated lock cases and pair with a suitable BS-rated cylinder where required.

What size sash lock do I need for my timber door?

The correct size depends on your door and existing preparation. Check key measurements like backset and case depth, and ensure the cylinder and handle centres match your setup.

Can I upgrade security by changing the cylinder?

Yes. One advantage of euro profile sash locks is that you can upgrade to an anti-snap or higher security euro cylinder without replacing the lock case, as long as sizing is correct.

Detailed Product Information

Understanding Euro Profile Sash Locks for Timber Doors

A Euro profile mortice sashlock is fitted into the edge of a timber door, combining a handle-operated latch with a key-operated deadbolt. The removable Euro profile cylinder means you can change keys or upgrade security without replacing the entire lock case — a major advantage over traditional mortice key locks.

When selecting your sashlock, consider:

Case Size: Common sizes are 2.5” and 3”, with deeper cases available for thicker timber or fire doors.
Security Rating: For external doors, choose a BS EN 12209 rated lock case with a BS EN 1303 or TS 007 3-star cylinder.
Finish & Style: Match your lock to your Euro lock door handles on backplates for a consistent look.

These locks are a popular choice for homeowners, joiners, and builders working on period property restorations, modern refurbishments, and commercial premises with timber entry doors.

Comparing Lock Types

Euro Profile Sashlocks vs Deadlocks

A Euro profile sashlock has both a latch and deadbolt. This allows you to use a handle for everyday opening and still lock securely with a key when required.

A Euro profile deadlock has only a deadbolt, providing key-only operation. These are often used as secondary security on double doors or in situations where a latch is unnecessary.

Whichever you choose, pairing with Euro profile escutcheons or Euro lock door handles on backplates ensures a secure and visually consistent installation.
