Browse Forums Windows & Doors 1 Oct 05, 2009 9:51 pm I got a phone call from SS today saying that we have an issue with our front door. Carpenter has just put on our front door as we have had a temporary door since lock up. And now that they've gone to put our handle and deadlock on, the carpenter and SS had some concerns as to how to make it all fit nicely. Our door - Corinthian Madison 104 Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Handle that we chose - Gainsborough Horizon 600mm handle (one on inside and one on outside) Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Lock - Gainsborough double cylinder deadlock in chrome Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Our SS made me realise that 1. since it's a double cylinder deadlock...it will drive me crazy as I will always need to have a key to open the door from the inside. 2. He's also doubtful that there will be enough room to have the handle and deadlock side by side half way up the door as the side panel of the door where all this goes is quite narrow....he feels that it will be difficult to open the door. 3. He also says that with the length of the handle....the lock will look funny if it is above or below the bar. I don't think that will look nice. -------------- So help!!!!! What should I do? Can it be done? Will my key problem be solved if I change my double cylinder deadlock to just a single cylinder deadlock? Can both handle and lock fit on the madison door? If you have any photos....please show me. I am curious to see if there is enough room to insert a key in the lock easily. Urgh!!!!

Re: Urgent help needed with front door. 2Oct 05, 2009 11:39 pm Hello! I don't know if this will really help, but we are getting the same long fixed handles for our front door (though we're having one of the 1200mm wide doors). Went to H@rdw@re and Gener@l in Sydney and the woman there showed us a roller mortice lock. . . here are a couple: http://www.hardwarestore.com.au/gains2/Gainsborough_roller_mortice_locks.pdf http://budgethandles.com.au/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=8&products_id=184 You have to lock the door with a key every time and open it with a key from the inside if it's locked, but at least you can unlock it and have it unlocked until you decide to lock it again! Thank you @. Tried to play with the facade models but the exact colour is not matching up. 2 3230 Building Standards; Getting It Right!
