Thank you very much. Was looking at my shed thinking how have I managed that 😂 spot on instruction guide 👍🏾

Thank you sir 😊😊😊

Very helpful - thanks for posting! 👍

Thanks !

Great info that you don’t have to return it to B&Q if it appears to be the wrong way. Do one on the door handles please.

Thanks for posting! Very helpful

As shown, this will not work. If the strike is simply recessed into the jamb so that it is flush with the jamb, the night latch must be offset from the edge of the door by a significant amount, not flush with the door edge. Otherwise the body of the night latch will just hit the door jamb and the door will not close. But the back of this particular night latch is not flat. There is a raised edge that is meant to be recessed into the door edge so that the side of the night latch body is flush with the door edge. This means that, in order to offset the night latch from the door edge, you need to remove that raised edge or else create a slot in the door to accommodate it, so that you can place the back of the night latch flush against the door even if it is not at the door edge.

Thanks for posting this - very helpful

Great video really helped me out thanks for shareing

Looks a better lock internally thsn the Yale

Quick question on your Banham video. So if I move into a property that has an L/M2000 can you just purchase a couple of new cylinders, replace the old ones, without having to purchase a whole new lock set?

Just found your channel and Subscribed. Nice work.

Thanks, good video and very helpful

Thank you. Cleared a puzzle about how the spring works.

There is no need to open this lock casing to reverse the catch. Just pull on the catch using a set of pliers and twist. It doesn't even have to come out of the door...

Thank you

Brilliant. Easy to follow and I successfully reversed the lock. Thanks 🙂

There is a simple way - www.eraeverywhere.com/globalassets/era/fitting-instructions/10186_fitting-instructions.pdf

Thank you so much for such a useful explanation!!!! My goodness, the shed door lock has been broken for years but now I have been able to restore it myself!!! Wonderful

Thank you. Spring was a bit fiddly but saved me from having to buy another lock. Cheers.

I was waiting for you to turn the lock level round, that's what I have so no help

I cant my door lock

Very informative, need to fit a cylinder lock to an outward opening door so that's very useful, thank you!

Chubbs box striking plate is 7 inches, Banhams is 10 inch....

Thanks for this 👍

Really useful to see inside it. Do you have any tips for one where the latch itself is not fully retracting? Mine is stuck and I can't open the door

This is helpful 😂

What happened to yale they used to be quailty now its pressed steel and zinc alloy cast made in whatever country will do it the cheapest.

Hi, can you recommend a night latch lock for a heavy outward opening door, but needs to be brass. Thanks

Excellent! I'm about to replace my nephew's bedroom door knob assembly today. His spring broke inside the latch and it was no use anymore, so I'm replacing the whole thing. This is the same model of door latch he needs as well. Thanks alot, because the latch I ordered is reversed, and I'll have to turn it around. This just helped big time!

On my lock it says not to do this because the springs inside can cause injury. Instead it says use the opening near the latch - just push a screwdriver into the opening and use it to push the latch out. Then you can just spin it around without opening the plate at all.

I thought I had one that couldn't be flipped, and I was about to flip, until you said you could flip over the entire catch assembly, now my housemates door can finally be closed properly. Success! Appreciated.

Thank, Just what I needed to do.

Much appreciated. I have a Swisco 40-214 (insert 40-213), which is obviously a different model (that, as it turns out, doesn't even require the faceplate to be removed, duh). Nonetheless, this helped considerably

What length should the tail be cut to?

Absolute legend, I failed on holding the latch in ahaha

Do nOt aTTeMpT To MoDiFy iT

Hi, Do you have a video on how to replace the cylinder on the L2000? Thanks.

Brilliant 🤩

Thank you for this video, my lock has been broke for wa week. Thanks pal 😊 👍👍

You saved me £££ thanks a lot✌🏿✌🏿

Thanks mate. Good vid

Thank you so much for sharing this video. It was really helpful!

Do not need to open case !!!.. just put some screw driver into small hole and push forward and reverse. Job done !!

Dead easy once I saw your example.Thanks 👍

On some of them the latch can be pushed out a bit through a small opening in the case as to allow reversal.

Thank you. Helpful

This was helpful, quick and straight to the point. Thank you.

Oh that's how you do it, I went up the local shop "B&Q" and all of these mortice locks was the wrong way round, to me you've just shown how to turn a external opening door to a internal opening door.. is that right? and my kitchen door opens internally from the left, so this what you have to do?

Is this possible with any ERA or other Yale night latch ?
