Product Information
The CL155/CL190/CL255/CL290 Mortice Latchset is a lockset designed for installation on doors. It comes with various components including front and back plates, neoprene seals, a spring-loaded spindle, a latch, a strike plate, wood screws, a latch support post, tweezers, fixing bolts, code tumblers, a code card, and keys (only for key override models).
Special Notes:
- Before starting the installation, it is recommended to familiarize yourself with the instructions provided.
Product Usage Instructions
- Ensure that the lever handle of the back plate moves freely. For hold-open models, check that the snib engages and holds the handle in the latch-open position.
- Check that the latch bolt moves freely by pressing at the end and turning the flat spindle in the latch cam.
- Check the hand of your door by viewing it from the outside. The hinges are on the right, it is a right-handed door. If the hinges are on the left, it is a left-handed door.
- Apply the provided template for accurate installation and chiseling. Create a 3mm (1/8) rebate to fit the latch face flush to the door edge.
- Fit the Latch Support Post in the back of the front plate using Hole A for a right-hand door and Hole B for a left-hand door.
- If required, disable the hold-open function by removing the fixing plate and snib block. Flip over the snib block and reseat it before refitting the fixing plate. Do not fit the blue handing screw.
- Position the spindle according to the provided diagram.
- Fix the lock in place using the supplied fixing bolts.
- Fit the strike plate on the door frame.
Note: Make sure to follow the complete installation instructions provided in the user manual for proper installation and usage of the CL155/CL190/CL255/CL290 Mortice Latchset.

SPECIAL NOTES
You are advised to familiarise yourself with the instructions before starting work.
- As standard, locks are supplied as a ‘hold open’ function with a snib on the back plate. This enables the latch bolt to be held open when required. When using the ‘hold open’function please note that the back plate is fitted with a blue screw to stop the handle moving in the wrong direction. The screw should be in the left-hand hole for a righthand door or the right-hand hole for a left-hand door.
- When using the ‘hold open’ function please note that the back plate is fitted with a bluescrew to stop the handle moving in the wrong direction. The screw should be in the lefthand hole for a right-hand door or the right-hand hole for a left-hand door.
- To disable the ‘hold open’ see Note 4 – Disable Hold Open Function.
- Make sure that the lever handle of the back plate moves freely. If your lock is a ‘hold-open’ model then check that the snib will engage and hold the handle in the ‘latch open ’ position.
- Check that the latch bolt moves freely by pressing at the end and also by turning the flat spindle in the latch cam.
- CHECK THE HAND OF YOUR DOOR Viewed from outside, a door is right-handed if the hinges are on the right, and left-handed if the hinges are on the left.
- APPLY THE TEMPLATE
- 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 13mm (1⁄2″) holes and the 3 x 10mm (3⁄8″) holes. Mark the center line of the latch in the middle of the door edge. Now apply the template to the other side of the door, aligning itwith your first mark in the middle of the door edge.
- Mark the 4 holes again. Keeping the drill level and square to the door, drill holes from both sides to avoid splintering out of the door face.
Positioning and fixing the latch
- Mark a central point on the ‘center line of latch’ on the door edge.
- Mark the depth of 85mm (3 3⁄8″) on the drill bit with tape to act as a visible depth limit. Drill a 25mm (1″) hole, 85mm (3 3⁄8″) deep, keeping the drill level and square to the door.
- Insert the latch into the hole, and with the edges parallel to the door, draw around the faceplate.
- Remove the latch. Score the pencil line with a Stanley knife to avoid splitting prior to chiseling. Chisel a 3mm (1⁄8″) rebate to fit the latch face flush to the door edge.
- Fix the latch with the wood screws, with the bevel towards the door frame.
LATCH SUPPORT POST
- Fit the Latch Support Post in the back of the front plate:
- Hole A for a right-hand door
- Hole B for a Left Hand Door
DISABLE HOLD OPEN FUNCTION
If required, the hold open feature can be disabled as follows: Remove the fixing plate by removing the four fixing screws and blue handing screws.
- Lift out the snib block.
- Flip over and repeat. Refit the fixing plate.
Do not fit the blue handing screw.
POSITIONING THE SPINDLE
- The spring-loaded spindle will fit doors between 35mm (1 3⁄8”) and 60mm (2 3⁄8”) thick. For doors less than 50mm (2”) thick break off the 15mm (5⁄8”) section at the end of the spindle.For doors more than 60mm (2 3⁄8”) thick, ring the helpline for advice. The spring keeps the spindle firmly engaged in the outside handle when the lock is assembled on the door.
- Insert the spindle, with the spring on the code side, through the 13mm (1⁄2”) hole in the door, and make sure that it engages the latch correctly for the hand of the door (see inset
FIXING THE LOCK
- Cut the fixing bolts to suit the door thickness, the length of bolts measured beneath the bolthead should be door thickness plus 15mm (5⁄8”). Use the pliers’ cutting jaws to crimp strongly several times around the bolt. The surplus end should now break off easily.
- Hold the front plate and the back plate, with the seals, onto the door with the spindle imposition.
- Using the fixing bolts screw everything together through the top and bottom holes of the back plate. Before final tightening make sure that the lock is vertical, and test the mechanism to ensure that it is all moving easily.
- DO NOT CLOSE THE DOOR UNTIL YOU ARE SURE THAT THE CODE WORKS
- DO NOT over-tighten the fixing bolts as this may cause distortion and lead to poor operation.
FITTING THE STRIKE PLATE
NB The plunger beside the latch bolt deadlocks the latch bolt and protects it against manipulation. IT MUST NOT enter the strike plate aperture when the door is closed.
- Ensure that there are no obstructions to prevent the door from closing properly into its frame, such as litter trapped in the hinge side.
- Position the strike plate on the door frame so that it lines up with the flat of the latchbolt, NOT THE PLUNGER.
- Draw around the aperture of the strike plate. Chisel out the aperture 15mm (5⁄8″) deep to receive the latchbolt. Fix the strike plate to the surface of the frame with one screw only. Close the door and ensure that the latchbolt enters the aperture easily, and is held without too much ‘play’. When satisfied, draw around the final position of the strike plate, remove it, and cut a 1mm (1⁄16″) rebate to enable it to fit flush. Re-fix the strike plate with both screws.
