Construction and operation of this version

152731700 is an explicit ordering row in the 52731 series with backset 70 mm. This bathroom/bedroom version operates its bolt with a 8 mm square spindle, rather than the key cylinder of an ordinary entrance lock. Confirm compatibility of the inside and outside privacy controls with the lock body; an identical 85 mm centre distance alone does not allow interchangeability.

How to check installation dimensions

This model's backset is 70 mm, the distance from the specified door-edge faceplate reference to the operating axis. Faceplate width, centre distance and external lock-body depth describe different directions and must not substitute for one another.

For replacement, record the old lock's full number, faceplate-end shape, inside and outside operating components and strike positions; when changing handing or linked rods, confirm interfaces according to the product instructions.

Limitations

  • Series certification and catalogue descriptions of fire or escape applications do not mean this model meets current requirements when installed in any door assembly.
  • Check accessories against the corresponding model and installation instructions; Cylinders, rods and escutcheons listed as available on request are not standard equipment.
