Install with confidence
How to install end locks
Installing an end lock improves closure quality and general security across doors and enclosures. The steps below outline the typical installation method across most product types.
01
Step 1 – Mark and prepare the mounting area
Measure the mounting position on the door or panel and confirm alignment with the strike plate. Mark drilling points and ensure the surface is clean and stable before installation.
02
Step 2 – Fit the body of the lock
Position the end lock at the marked location and fasten it using suitable screws or bolts. Confirm the mechanism moves freely and engages without obstruction.
03
Step 3 – Install the strike plate or latch component
Install the strike plate or matching component on the frame or adjoining panel, ensuring it is correctly aligned with the end lock. If your model uses a wire-operated release, attach the wire to the corresponding lock or handle so the end lock can be opened remotely with a smooth pull action.
04
Step 4 – Test the closure and secure all fittings
Close the door to test the entire mechanism and ensure it stays securely shut. Ensure the lock activates cleanly and any handle or key action operates as expected. Tighten all fittings for long-term reliability.
