The centres measurement is the distance between two centres, usually the handle spindle and the cylinder.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<section id=\"section-1\" class=\"wp-block-group msg-chapter is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why this measurement matters<\/h2>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two locks that look similar can have different axes. This dimension determines, among other things, the position of the handle and cylinder relative to the edge of the door.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An incorrect measurement can make a replacement incompatible with the existing holes. It may also leave too little room for the door furniture or require alterations to the door.<\/p>\n\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section id=\"section-2\" class=\"wp-block-group msg-chapter is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to take the correct measurement<\/h2>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On an open door, identify the faceplate visible at the edge. Measure perpendicularly from this plate to the center of the handle follower or cylinder, according to the technical plan.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do not take the outer edge of the handle as a reference. On some cabinets and rim locks, the measurement reference varies: the manufacturer's drawing remains the best way to confirm the dimensions.<\/p>\n\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section id=\"section-3\" class=\"wp-block-group msg-chapter is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Backset, centres and lock case dimensions<\/h2>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The handle-cylinder set-back is measured vertically between the centres of the two handles. It does not replace the measurement of the shaft.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When ordering a lock, also note the height and depth of the cabinet, the faceplate width, its ends, the position of the fixings, and the handle spindle dimensions. A photo of the old reference helps with identification.<\/p>\n\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section id=\"section-4\" class=\"wp-block-group msg-chapter is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">In case of replacement<\/h2>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A lock with correct dimensions often allows the retention of the handles and existing holes. Compatibility must still include the direction of opening and the operation of the bolts.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A forced mechanism should not be compensated by excessive tightening. The housing, fixings, and strike plate alignment must be checked before concluding a fault.<\/p>\n\n<\/section>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-group msg-section msg-related is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group msg-wrap is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"msg-kicker wp-block-paragraph\">FIND OUT MORE<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Related terms.<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group msg-term-grid is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group msg-term is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"msg-kicker wp-block-paragraph\">GLOSSARY \u00b7 Components &amp; identification<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.multisecu.fr\/en\/glossaire\/tetiere-de-serrure-definition\/\">The lock faceplate <span aria-hidden=\"true\">\u2197<\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The faceplate is the visible plate on the edge of a door fitted with a mortice lock.
