Essential Maintenance Tips for XLV Door Locks

The XLV range is built with weather-protected, pick-resistant cylinders, but a few simple habits help it perform well over the long term.

Keep the keys straight

Because packs are keyed alike, record your key number when you fit the locks, so ordering replacements later is quick if a key goes missing.

Check the bolting system

The robust bolting system is designed to resist forced attack, so it's worth periodically checking the fixings haven't loosened with regular use, particularly on doors used daily.

Fitting and refitting

Because the body is extra-long for flexible positioning on side and rear doors, take care to check clearances before installation or if you ever need to reposition a lock.
