Locking Points
Look which locking points your lock has and the order that they are fixed to the strip,
e.g. hook, roller, latch and deadbolt, cams, shootbolts
Distance
Measure the distance between each of the locking points on the strip
1. Measure the distance between the outer locking points (i.e. the two locking points furthest away from the centre case)
2. Measure the distance between the inner locking points if there are any (i.e. the two locking points closest to the centre case)
Locking points distances can vary by a few millimetres depending on whether the locking points are engaged or not
Faceplate
Measure the width of the faceplate in mm. Depending on the lock, faceplates are available in 16mm, 20mm, 22mm and 24mm
