When ordering, consider the door's hinge placement: if the door opens inward and is hinged on the left, select a right-hand lock. Conversely, for a right-hinged door that opens inward, choose a left-hand lock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompact Design\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll Winkhaus gearboxes, except for the AV4, measure 185mm in height plus the backset (15mm), making them the smallest gearboxes available.
