Door and Lock

Door and Lock Selection Guide

Start by identifying the exact door and existing lock. Wooden interior doors, steel entrance doors, metal doors and PVC/aluminium profiles can require different lock bodies and mounting formats.

Kale Lock Products

Kale Lock includes categories for cylinders, cylinder mortise locks, silent-series locks, mortise security locks, rim locks, interior-door locks and steel-door locking systems.

Compare model code, lock-body dimensions, strike format, cylinder compatibility and door handing before ordering.

Door Cylinders

Cylinders are the key-operated core of many lock systems. Compare overall length, side dimensions, door thickness, escutcheon arrangement and thumbturn/key configuration.

Cylinder Mortise Locks

Cylinder Mortise Locks are installed inside the door leaf. Body depth, faceplate, handle spindle position, cylinder centre and strike compatibility should be checked together.

Mortise Security Locks

Mortise Security Locks can be used for entrance-door and supplementary-security applications. Locking action, body size, cylinder type and model code vary by product.

Steel Door Locks

Steel Door Locks may include different single- or multi-point mechanisms. Cylinder, strike, handle/escutcheon and other locking parts should be evaluated as one system.

Steel Doors

Kale Steel Door includes different door ranges, project doors, fire doors, lock systems and accessories. Compare opening dimensions, frame construction, handing, locking system and installation requirements.

Steel Safes

Kale Steel Safe covers home/office and built-in safe solutions. External dimensions, usable internal volume, lock type and anchoring or built-in installation should be considered together.

Mechanical or Electronic Locks?

Mechanical locks operate through physical keys and mechanisms, while electronic systems can use cards, codes, fingerprints or other access methods. For electronic products, also review power supply, emergency access, user management, compatibility and service support.

Choosing by Door Type

Interior wooden doors, steel entrance doors and PVC/aluminium profiles can use different lock designs. Do not select only by door material; verify the existing cut-out and technical dimensions.

Why Door Handing Matters

Some locks and accessories have right/left variants while others can be reversed. Confirm the opening direction and the product's handing before ordering.

How to Check Lock Dimensions

Use the existing product code whenever possible. Otherwise compare lock-body dimensions, faceplate, cylinder/key centre, handle centre and fixing points. If uncertain, ask the seller to confirm compatibility using dimensions and photos.

Cylinder, Lock Body and Strike

The cylinder is the key-operated component, the lock body contains the mechanism, and the strike receives the latch or bolt on the frame. Some products are sold as body-only items while others include cylinder, keys or strike parts.

Door and Lock Accessories

Handles, escutcheons, viewers, door closers, electric strikes, panic bars and other accessories must be compatible with the door thickness, fixing points and existing locking system.

Frequently Asked Questions

What measurements are important when buying a door lock?

Depending on lock type, body depth, centre measurements, faceplate, cylinder length and fixing points can all matter.

Are barrel and cylinder the same thing?

In everyday usage, “barrel” and “lock cylinder” are commonly used for the same key-operated component.

Does every cylinder fit every door lock?

No. Cylinder type and dimensions must match the lock body and door thickness.

Is replacing only the lock body enough on a steel door?

Not always. Cylinder, strike, connecting parts and multi-point mechanisms can also require compatibility checks.

What if I do not know the existing lock model?

Check for a product code and brand. If unavailable, measure the body, faceplate, centres and fixing points and ask the seller to confirm compatibility.

Why do door and lock prices vary?

Product type, dimensions, mechanism, security features, package contents, range and installation scope can all affect price.
