How to Embed the Castle

As for the instrument, it is mandatory need a screwdriver, as well as a drill and chisel to create grooves in the door and jamb. Of the consumables will be needed only screws for fixing the lock. In addition, take a soft pencil and an awl for marking.

First of all, choose a place to install the lock on the door itself. This should be done in such a way thatThe keyhole was located at a convenient height. Next, you need to attach the lock itself to the end of the door and mark with a pencil the slot for the lock case. As a rule, most of such a hole is drilled with a drill, and then the internal walls are smoothed by a chisel. For a drill, try to pick up a drill, the diameter of which will be slightly larger than the width of the lock, so the creation of the groove will take the least amount of time. The depth of the hole should be adjusted by periodically inserting the lock body into the groove.

To embed the lock, you will also need make a small groove in the butt end of the door for the lock bar. After the lock is firmly seated in the socket, it is necessary to mark the hole for the so-called cylinder mechanism: the lock case should be applied to the door and using the awl to mark the contour of the future hole, but it needs to be drilled with a 2-3 mm shift, taking into account the thickness of the bar castle.

If the lock has a latch of a latch, it will be necessary to drill an additional hole in the door for the rod, on which the handles are attached.

Further will not be superfluous lubricate all moving parts of the lock technical vaseline or solidol, however, neitherIt is impossible to lubricate the cylinder mechanism. Now insert the lock in the groove and fasten it with screws. Here it is worth noting that for greater reliability it is better to drill the holes for these screws to a depth that is one third smaller than the fastener itself, so the lock installation will be more reliable and durable.

Also, during installation, try do not tighten a cylinder mechanism. If this happens, it is enough just to slightly widen the width of the hole for the lock.

In order to embed the lock, at the very end it will be necessary to make reciprocal grooves, in which the bolt and latch of the latch will exit. To do this, their ends are lubricated with some coloring material, after which the door is locked with a key. As a result, you should get prints on the door frame, where holes will be made. The depth of the grooves should be equal to the length of the outgoing parts of the tongue of the latch and crossbar.

In addition, it will take make a small groove to accommodate the locking bar. First we make the markup: we apply this bar to the door frame in such a way that the windows coincide with the grooves made. After that, draw a contour in a pencil. When the recess is ready, we drill the holes for the screws and fasten the locking bar.

As you could see, in order to embedlock, do not need any specific knowledge and skills, it is enough just to be able to use a drill, a chisel and a screwdriver. However, if you are not sure that you can properly perform such a montage, we recommend that you seek help from professional carpenters or repair teams.
