Construction and operation of this version

152842700 is an explicit ordering row in the 52842 series with backset 70 mm. The square-ended faceplate version with function A explicitly lists an anti-manipulation mechanism in this model section; Outside operation is by key only; inside operation can use a handle or escape device. Without a description of automatic action, the door-closing bolt action of adjacent 52840/52860 must not be assumed.

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.
