• fale;
• with magnetic elements;
• roller;
• latch-valves.

Your attention is a brief description of the specified shut-off mechanisms.

1. Door handles of the FALE latch are the most simple and reliable. The locking element is a brazing slice. The tongue is pressed the spring, the door closes freely and opens by turning the double-sided handle. The locking mechanism lock is the rotary button installed on the handle.

3. The magnetic latch door handle has a simple design assembled from permanent magnets and metal slats. The simplest modifications resemble furniture latches. The action is more complex based on the operation of permanent magnets: the locking beam mounted on the door is drawn by the core of the castle of the castle.

• pressure: The triggering of the locking mechanism occurs after pressing the g-shaped handle lever;
• rotary: The handle is a ball whose rotation counterclockwise will assign a lock tongue.

Tips for choosing a door handle with a latch

Choosing a handle with a latch, except color, material and design, should consider the following.

1. Direction of the doorway opening: It is recommended to install a handle with a convenient rotation. There are modifications both with the right and left twist.
2. The thickness of the door leaf: after the insertion of the locking mechanism should remain a sufficiently thick layer of wood on both sides.
3. For children's rooms, a door latch knob should not be applied with a retainer: adult access should not be limited.

• mechanism (inner part);
• pair of handles;
• retainer;
• decorative metal lining.

Installation of the door handle with a latch: Phased description

The whole process consists of three operations performed by each other.

1. Marking of the position of the inner keyboard on the door canvase and the response.
2. Drilling technological holes in the door box and the door.
3. Setting the details of the lock and their mount.

It is necessary to explore the manufacturer's instructions and to assemble the handle to it. You should have a set of tools and devices:

• tree drill set: spiral - Ø 6 mm, feathers - Ø 22-24 mm;
• crown Ø 50 mm;
• electric drill;
• hammer;
• chisel;
• a set of screwdrivers or screwdriver;
• carbonity coal;
• roulette;
• simple pencil.

Perform markup

Important: Marking should be performed at an altitude of 0.8 - 1.2 m. On the door canvases of the factory production, this place is indicated by a special icon in the form of a key. If small children live in the house - set the handle can be slightly lower.

Marking of all holes is performed in the following order.

1. The door leaf is removed from the loops.
2. The required distance from the lower edge of the canvas is postponed and the level of the level for the knob is installed.
3. With the help of the kitchen, a line is carried out, crossing the level of the level perpendicular to the door jam.
4. The line is postponed to the center of the handle (indicated in the instructions for the lock). It usually is 60 mm. A clear mark is set.
5. Placed a place for the tongue of the shut-off mechanism: the horizontal line is performed on the level level at the level of the handle.
6. The latch mechanism is applied at the installation site. The tongue must fully play over the outer edge. The contour of the tongue from two sides of the door canvase is outlined.
7. The latch circuit is projected onto the end face. The center is marked. In this place there will be a hole for installing the mechanism.

Please note: the markup of the response part of the latch handle on the box is performed after installing the mechanism.

Drill holes

1. The door canvas is securely fixed.
2. Crown on a tree with an electric drill in two stages drilled holes for the latch handle mechanism. Holes make from two sides to about the middle of the door leaf to avoid the leaving the crown aside. The electric drill should be oriented strictly perpendicular to the door plane.
3. The hole for setting the tongue is drilled first by the guide spiral, and then drilled by the feathery drill. It is impossible to deviate drills to the side: the thickness of the wood at the edges may not exceed 6-7 mm.
4. The recess for the plate near the tongue is chosen by the chisel after marking.

Installation handle-latch

1. The mechanism is inserted into the well-done hole, the plate screws is mounted on the door canvase. The centers of the holes are first outlined with a seboard or thin drill.
2. The tetrahedral rod is inserted into the mechanism.
3. Installed in its place the rod.
4. Handles are collected: the first combined with two guides, after which the second handle is installed. Both parts are fixed by bolts.

Important: Access to hidden places for screwing the bolts is ensured by the removal of the plaque. A special key is pressed on a stupor located on the handle housing, pull the handle and remove the plate. After mounting the handle, everything is collected in the reverse order: the handle is fixed after re-pressing on the stopper.

Installation of the response on the box

1. To mark the place under the opposite plate on the front of the latch tongue, a layer of pencil trap is applied.
2. In the position of the closed door, the handle is pressed several times and the handle is released. In this case, traces remain on the wood of the box, which outlines the pencil.
3. The feather drill in the center of the outlined circuit drill a hole in which the tongue will go. The depth of the opening should be a little longer than the length of the tongue.
4. The contour under the decorative plate is placed.
5. Plastic liner is inserted into the hole.
