Construction and operation of this version

156015700 is an explicit ordering row in the 56015 series with backset 70 mm. The 3-locking-point configuration and three-throw bolt action describe different features. For multipoint versions, also check extension rods and upper and lower strikes; a single-point construction must not be assumed to have rod interfaces.

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

  • The tabulated backset for 156010500 is 52 mm, not 50 in the model number; Recorded according to the table value.
  • Extension rods and floor strikes are listed as optional accessories, not standard equipment.
  • 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.
