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.
