Special Notes
Check Operation of the Coded Front Plate
On models CL415 and CL425 a Code Free Access mode is available. This is signified by a
black dot on the ‘Y’ button. In normal operation the code needs to be entered every time to
turn the lever. To put the lock into Code Free mode first enter the code on the code card
followed by the ‘Y’ code free button. The lock will now be in Code Free Access mode. To put
the lock back to code access only press the passage set button once followed by the ‘C’
button.
Turn the front plate over and note that the coloured code tumblers inside correspond to the
code. The code may be entered in any sequence, i.e. 1370 may be entered as 3710 or any
other sequence of those numbers. There are a total of 8,191 codes available on the CL410
and CL420 locks, any of which may be entered in any order. There are 4,095 codes available
on the CL415 and CL425 locks.
If you intend to change the code you should do it, if convenient, before installing the lock –
see the Code Change Instructions in the separate sheet.

Model 410/415 Installation Instructions
The model 410/415 has a tubular, deadlocking, mortice latch and may be used as a new
installation on a door, or where an existing latch is to be replaced.

Step 1
Lightly mark a height line on the edge and both faces of the door, and on the door jamb, to
indicate the top of the lock when fitted.
Crease the template along the ‘fold along the door edge’ dotted line that suits your latch
backset, and tape it to the door.
Mark the 2 x 10mm (3⁄8")and the 4x 16mm (5⁄8") holes. Mark the centre of the door edge
centre line of latch. Remove the template and apply it to the other side of the door, aligning it
accurately with the first centralline of latch. Mark the 6 holes again.
Step 2
Keeping the drill level and square to the door, drill a 25mm hole to accept the latch.
Step 3
Keeping the drill level and square to the door, drill the 10mm (3⁄8") and 16mm (5⁄8") holes
from both sides of the door to increase accuracy and to avoid splintering out the door face.
Clear a 32mm square hole from the 4 x 16mm holes.
Step 4
Put the latch into the hole and, holding it square to the door edge, draw around the faceplate.
Remove the latch and score the outline with a Stanley knife to avoid splitting when chiselling.
Chisel a rebate to allow the latch to fit flush to the surface.
Step5
Fix the latch with the wood screws, with the bevel towards the door frame.
Step 6
Fitting the strike plate.
Note:The plunger beside the latchbolt deadlocks it, to protect against manipulation or
‘shimming’. The strike plate must be accurately installed so that the plunger CANNOT enter
the aperture when the door is closed, even if it is slammed shut. Position the strike plate on
the door frame so that it lines up with the flat of the latchbolt, and NOT the plunger.

Mark the positions of the fixing screws, and draw around the aperture of the strike plate.
Chisel out the aperture 15mm deep to receive the latchbolt. Fix the strike plate to the surface
of the frame using only the top fixing screw. Gently close the door and check that the
latchbolt enters the aperture easily, and is held without too much ‘play’. When satisfied, draw
around the outline of the strike plate, remove it and cut a rebate to enable the faceplate to lie
flush with the surface. Re-fix the strike plate using both screws.
Step 7
Check that the lever handles are correctly fitted for the hand of door. To change the hand of a
lever handle, loosen the grub screw with the small Allen key, reverse the lever handle and fully
tighten the grub screw.
Step 8

Step 9
Fit latch support post into back of the code side front plate according to the hand of your
door, A for a right hand door, or B for a left hand door (see diagram).
Step 10
Cut two of the fixing bolts to the required length for your door. Approximate overall length
should be door thickness plus 20mm (13⁄16”) to allow about 10mm (3⁄8”) of threaded bolt to
enter the outside plate.
Step 11
Apply the front and back plates, with the neoprene seals in position, against the door, over
the protruding ends of the spindle.

Step 12
Fix the two plates together using the fixingbolts, starting with the top fixing. Ensure that the
two plates are truly vertical and then tighten the bolts. Do not use excessive force.
Step 13
Before closing the door, enter the code and ensure that the latchbolt will retract when the
lever handle is depressed. Now check the operation of the inside lever handle. If there is any
binding of the handles or latch then loosen the bolts slightly and reposition the plates slightly
until the correct position is found, and then re-tighten the bolts.

Model CL420/CL425 Installation
Instructions
Model CL420/CL425 is a complete locking unit with all the parts necessary for a new
installation, or the total replacement of an existing lock.
IMPORTANTThe mortice lock provided (fig. 1) has features which are not found in most
other locks and so it is recommended that you familiarise yourself with them as follows:
A.When necessary the hand of the latchbolt can be changed by removing the three screws
holding the faceplate to the lock case, loosen the screw holding the latchbolt in place, reverse
the latchbolt, and tighten the screw back up, ensuring that the latchbolt is central.
B.Put the key in the cylinder and insert it centrally into the lock case. Fix it in position with
the long bolt through the faceplate. It should now be possible to project and retract the
deadbolt with the key, and also to retract the latchbolt.
C.The square latchbolt follower is in 2 parts: the inside ‘Panic Function’ follower will retract
the latchbolt and also the deadbolt when it is projected. The effect of this is to ensure that it
is not possible to accidentally lock someone in a room because the deadbolt is projected. The
outside follower will always retract the latchbolt whenever the lever handle is depressed after
a correct code is entered, but it will not retract the deadbolt. The hand of the ‘Panic Function’
is determined as follows: the grub screws on the split follower facing the code side must be
removed. This prevents the outside handle retracting the deadbolt.
NEVERremove grub screws from both sides at the same time. All door locks should be
installed with a degree of precision to ensure that all components are horizontally and
vertically accurate in relation to each other, and in relation to the door.
Do not install the lock where it will involve cutting into a joint between the door stile and a
mid-rail.
--------------------
Step 1
Lightly mark a height line on the edge and both faces of the door, and the door jamb, to

indicate the top of the lock when fitted. Mark a line down the centre of the door edge,
extending above the height line and 300mm (1113⁄16") below it.
Step 2
Hold the template against the edge of the door with the top in line with the height line, and
with the arrows in line with the ‘centre of door edge’ line. Mark the positions of the fixing
screws, and the holes to be drilled for the mortice.
Step 3
Apply tape to the 16mm (5⁄8”) drill bit at 90mm (39⁄16”) from from the tip to act as a depth
guide when drilling the mortice holes. Ensure the drill is level and parallel to the door face and
drill the holes as indicated on the template. Remove the remaining wood with a chisel to leave
a clean mortice hole which accepts the lockcase without forcing. With the lock in the mortice
make sure that the forend is parallel with the door edge and mark the outline of the forend
plate. Cut the outline with a Stanley knife to avoid splitting out when chiselling. Chisel a
rebate sufficient to accept the forend flush with the surface.
Step 4
Fold the template accurately along the ‘fold along the door edge’ dotted line, and tape it to
the door face with the top in line with the height line, and the fold on the door edge. Mark the
centres of all the holes to be drilled. Remove the template and repeat the procedure on the
other face of the door.
Step 5
Drill the holes from both sides of the door to improve accuracy and to avoid splintering out
the door face.
Step 6
Install the lock case in the door.
Step 7
Cut two of the fixing bolts to the required length for your door. Approximate overall length
should be door thickness plus 20mm (6⁄8”) to allow about 10mm (3⁄8”) of threaded bolt to
enter the outside plate.
Step 8
Step 9
Check that the lever handles are correctly fitted for the hand of door. To change the hand of a

lever handle, loosen the grub screw with the small Allen key, reverse the lever handle and fully
tighten the grub screw.
Step 10
Apply the front and back plates, with the neoprene seals in position, against the door, over
the protruding ends of the spindle.
Step 11
Fix the two plates together using the socket head bolts, starting with the top fixing. Ensure
that the two plates are truly vertical and then tighten the bolts. Do not use excessive force.
Step 12
Before closing the door, enter the code and check that the latchbolt will retract when the
lever handle is depressed. Now check the operation of the inside lever handle. If there is any
binding of the handles or the latch then loosen the bolts and reposition the plates slightly
until the correct position is found, and then re-tighten the bolts.
Step 13
Fit the double Euro-profile cylinder and secure it with the long screw through the faceplate.
Fit the cylinder escutcheons.
Step 14
Check that the deadbolt will project and retract by key, and that the key will also retract the
latchbolt. Check that the inside lever handle WILL retract the deadbolt simultaneously with
the latchbolt. Check that the outside lever handle WILL NOT retract the deadbolt.
Step 15
Mark a vertical line on the door jamb half the door thickness away from the door stop. This
gives the centre line of the strike plate. Align the Strike Plate Template with the height line,
with the arrow heads aligned with the centre line. Mark the fixing holes, and draw around the
apertures for the latchbolt and the deadbolt. Chisel out the latch aperture to 12mm deep, and
the deadbolt aperture to 22mm deep. Fix the strike plate with the top screw only and gently
close the door. Ensure that the latchbolt enters its aperture easily and holds the door without
too much ‘play’. When satisfied, draw around the final position of the strike plate, remove it,
and cut a rebate to allow it to fit flush to the surface. Re-fix the strike with both screws.
