Choosing Surface Locks
For help measuring and selecting surface locks, we recommend reading: How to select, measure and install surface locks.
If replacing a lock:
- If you have old lock: measure distance between selvedge-edge (edge where bolt shoots through lock) to lock pin in center of keyhole. This measurement is known as the backset.;
- If original lock is not available, determine backset by measuring: distance from center of keyhole to edge of cabinet door.
- The replacement lock's backset measurement must match location of keyhole in furniture.
