Polished Brass Lock Questions

Which York locks are available in polished brass?
Standard and architectural tubular latches from 2 1/2 to 5 inch, bathroom locks and tubular bathroom deadbolts, 3 lever and BS3621 5 lever sash locks and deadlocks, euro profile sash locks, 40mm and 60mm night latches including a roller bolt version, and a tubular latch rebate kit.

Do I need a latch or lock as well as my handles?
Yes. M.Marcus and Heritage Brass handles are sold without locks or latches, so choose a York latch or lock to suit the handle type.

Which lock do I need for a front door?
Most timber front doors use a BS3621 5 lever sash lock or deadlock, which is the standard many home insurers ask for, often with a night latch above it. Check your policy wording before you buy.

What does the 2 1/2 or 3 inch size mean?
It is the case size of the lock or latch. The backset, from the door edge to the centre of the handle or keyhole, is usually a little less, so choose the size that suits your door stile and handle.
