If you’ve never replaced a lock before, it can be tricky to know where to begin! Use the steps below to gather the key details you’ll need to order the correct replacement lock.
Check for a Manufacturer’s Name
Great - you've found Winkhaus stamped on the faceplate, or, the centre case of the lock looks like one below. If you're unsure, you can always send us an image here.
Identify the Locking Points
Look up and down the faceplate to see what locking mechanisms are fitted in addition to the latch and deadbolt. Example Answer: 2 Hooks and 2 Rollers
Measure the Backset (Measurement A)
The backset is the distance from the front edge of the faceplate to the centre of the keyhole (cylinder).
Measure the PZ / Centres (Measurement B)
This is the distance from the centre of the keyhole to the centre of the square spindle hole (where the handle goes through).
