Elektra Plus metal faceplate for cassette locks, zinc-plated (model 23507)

Elektra Plus metal faceplate for cassette locks is a zinc-plated finishing component designed to be fitted over cassette-style lock bodies. It provides a corrosion-resistant surface and a robust mounting area that protects the lock edge and surrounding door material. The faceplate is intended as a visible and functional trim piece that helps align the cassette lock with the door edge and secures the lock in place.

Advantages

The zinc-plated steel construction offers improved resistance to rust and wear compared with untreated metal, extending service life in normal indoor and sheltered outdoor conditions. The faceplate provides a stable and even surface for fixing the cassette lock, reducing stress on the lock case and door edge. Its form factor simplifies installation and produces a clean finish around the lock opening.

Suitable for

• Cassette-style mortise lock installations in residential doors
• Light commercial doors where a protective lock trim is required
• Replacement or retrofit projects where an existing faceplate is damaged or missing

Key specifications

• Material: zinc-plated steel for enhanced corrosion resistance
• Type: faceplate for cassette-style lock bodies
• Function: protective and finishing trim for lock edge and mounting area
• Typical applications: interior and sheltered exterior doors in residential and light commercial settings

How to use

Position the faceplate over the cassette lock body so that the lock case aligns with the faceplate aperture and the edges fit flush against the door. Secure the faceplate with appropriate screws through the designated fixing points into the door or lock case, ensuring the lock mechanism operates freely without binding. If replacing an existing faceplate, remove screws and the old plate, inspect the door edge for damage, then fit the new faceplate and recheck alignment and operation.

Usage recommendations

Use screws of appropriate length and material for the door construction and the faceplate to maintain secure fixing and avoid contact with the lock mechanism. For external installations expose to direct weather, consider additional protection such as a sheltered cover or using stainless fasteners to further reduce corrosion risk.
