(Ex Chubb) 3G135 Fortress Mortice Deadlock

Product Overview

The Zoo ZCRD mortice dead lock is a reliable choice for those seeking a replacement mortice lock. With its distinctive upright design, this lock offers a solid level of security, although it does not comply with British Standard BS3621:2007.

Key Features

• Design & Security: The lock features a black case and unique measurements that set it apart from other mortice locks. The deadbolt throws 15.3mm and includes hardened rollers to resist saw attacks.

• Functionality: It can be locked and unlocked from either side using a key, providing flexibility for users.

• Included Accessories: Supplied with two keyhole escutcheons that match the lock's finish for both internal and external sides, along with a grey security striking box.

• Customization: For a brass finish, you can purchase the brass accessory pack (part ZLAP24PVD), which includes a brass faceplate, box staple, and escutcheons.

• Compatibility: Suitable for doors up to 50mm thick. If you need it for thicker doors, extra-long keys may be available upon request.

• Versatile Use: These locks are non-handed, making them suitable for left or right-hinged doors that open inwards or outwards.

• Key Options: Comes with two keys as standard, with the option to order additional keys (genuine or copy) from the associated products.

• Keying Alike: If you need multiple locks to operate with the same key, our in-house locksmith team can key them alike, typically dispatching the same day.

• Associated Parts: A variety of related parts, including key blanks and rebate sets for double doors, are available for selection.

Installation Notes

• Fire Door Use: Please note that these locks are not suitable for fire doors.

• Market Presence: Although Zoo locks are relatively new to the UK market, they have quickly gained popularity among architectural ironmongers and locksmiths.

• Mortice Lock Types: Mortice lever locks are commonly used in wooden, steel, aluminium, and composite doors. They are operated by a key, which throws the deadbolt.

• Security Recommendations: For external doors, we recommend fitting a British Standard BS3621 product for maximum security. Always check with your insurer regarding lock requirements.

• Replacement Considerations: When replacing an existing lock, be aware that the new lock may be larger. Adjustments can be made to the door with a hammer and chisel if necessary.

• Mortice Lock Functionality: A lever mortice lock secures a door by throwing a bolt into a metal keep or strike, preventing it from being opened. The lock can be operated from both sides with a key.
