Door Functions Explained
Gainsborough supplies the latch or lock with the handle set. The function you choose determines what comes in the box.
| Function | How it works | What comes with it | Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Passage | Non-locking. The lever operates from both sides at all times. | The passage tubular latch is INCLUDED. | Hallways, wardrobes, and any internal door that does not lock. |
| Privacy | Locks from the inside with a button or turn, with an emergency release outside. | The privacy tubular latch is INCLUDED. | Bathrooms, ensuites and bedrooms. |
| Entrance | Key-lockable. Supplied with a cylindrical (key-in-lever) lock. | The cylindrical lock and keys are INCLUDED. | Front and back doors, where a cylindrical lock is acceptable. |
| Dummy / Fixed | A fixed lever with no latch and no moving parts. | SINGLE handle only (not a pair) — supplied with the spindle. No latch. | A fixed panel, or the inactive leaf of a double door. |
If you want a full mortice entrance rather than the cylindrical lock, the mortice lock is ordered separately. Gainsborough's mortice locks are double-cylinder, so the cylinder and keys are built in.
Separate Entrance Kit — Sold Separately
The handle set above comes with its latch or cylindrical lock. If you want a full mortice entrance instead, order one of the lock bodies below in addition to the handle.
| Code | Lock body | Backset | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 755-60 | Double Cylinder Mortice Lock | 60mm backset | Keyed from both sides. Cylinder and keys are built in. |
| 775-60 | Roller Bolt Mortice Lock | 60mm backset | Roller bolt version, for doors that need a quieter, smoother close. |
| 760 | Sliding Door Mortice Lock | — | For sliding and cavity doors, not hinged doors. |
Gainsborough does not make a separate euro cylinder or escutcheon — the mortice locks above are double-cylinder, so the cylinder and keys come with the lock.
