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
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.
It does work, i've been fitting locks since 1985, maybe i didn't make it clear enough for some? All comments said it helps?
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?
you can buy cylinders only, yes.
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...
Most don't just pull and twist, one in a 1,000, some have a screw on the catch also, you just unscrew turn and screw in. This video is for these most popular type.
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
No idea what you mean "lock level" ?
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
I expect the cam the square handle bar passes through is worn out inside, you have to replace whole lock. thanks
@@LockMonster Thanks. I'll see if I can pad it enough to get the door open. I really appreciate your reply 🙂
@@grahaml8838 If you just want to open it, cut a strip of plastic off an empty coke/water bottle, slide the strip in the gap and sometimes it pushes the latch in
@@LockMonster Thanks! Do you have any affiliate links that I could buy the lock through to give you a kick back?

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
any good???.. www.lockmonster.co.uk/item/era-british-standard-security-nightlatch-bs3621-1830-1930
Personally would go with the cisa electronic lock
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.
some are like that, not many, most are like this one.
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
never heard of that brand, is it being used in UK??
What length should the tail be cut to?
enough so it sticks into the receiver slot in the lock, offer it up to the door.
@@LockMonster thank you
Absolute legend, I failed on holding the latch in ahaha
Do nOt aTTeMpT To MoDiFy iT
Flipping it on many brands makes the stopper button fail. 😢
@@plasticbike perhaps you should flip it as well?
not on most, especially yale I show here. Thanks
Hi, Do you have a video on how to replace the cylinder on the L2000? Thanks.
no sorry. one day!!!
Brilliant 🤩
Thank you for this video, my lock has been broke for wa week. Thanks pal 😊 👍👍
glad it helps
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 !!
Only on very few, most need to be taken apart.
Dead easy once I saw your example.Thanks 👍
great, thanks
On some of them the latch can be pushed out a bit through a small opening in the case as to allow reversal.
Some you push the latch back and then see a screw holding the brass latch in place, undo, reverse and do up. So much easier, but lots are not.
This should be the top comment. Indeed, many do not need removing the cover... just push a screwdriver into a hole and rotate the latch.
Thank you. Helpful
This was helpful, quick and straight to the point. Thank you.
thanks
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?
Yes, that works on most locks, not every one, but most. Thanks
Is this possible with any ERA or other Yale night latch ?
Yes, it works with many more brands, not always the expensive high security ones. For those you need to buy a SC73 on our website
@@LockMonster thank you, just had a look, unfortunately it’s waaaaay out of my budget for a lock
