Door lock Jania Z213 72/55 mm for euro cylinder, left-hand with lever

Jania Z213 is a mortise door lock with a 72/55 mm backset/centre distance designed for use with a euro profile cylinder. This left-hand version with lever handle operation provides a latch and separate deadbolt function suitable for wooden and metal doors where a euro cylinder is installed. The mechanism is intended for residential and light commercial interior and exterior doors that require a lock compatible with standard euro profile cylinders.

Advantages

The Jania Z213 lock combines a standard 72/55 mm geometry with lever operation, enabling straightforward installation in conventional door preparations. The separate latch and deadbolt offer basic security and privacy control while keeping operation simple and reliable. Its left-hand orientation and compatibility with euro profile cylinders make it a practical choice for doors where a left-handed locking mechanism is required.

Suitable for

• Wooden doors fitted with euro profile cylinders
• Metal doors prepared for mortise locks and euro cylinders
• Residential entrance doors and interior doors requiring a deadbolt and latch
• Light commercial doors with standard euro cylinder security

When it may not be suitable

This left-hand lock is not appropriate for doors that require a right-hand orientation; check door handing before purchase. The Jania Z213 is designed for use with euro profile cylinders and therefore is not suitable for locks or cylinders of non-euro profiles or proprietary multi-point locking systems.

Key specifications

• Lock type: mortise door lock with latch and deadbolt
• Backset / centre distance: 72/55 mm
• Orientation: left-hand (lever operation)
• Cylinder type compatibility: euro profile cylinder
• Suitable door materials: wood and metal

How to use

Install the Jania Z213 by recessing the lock body into the door edge at the correct 72/55 mm centre distance and secure it with screws through the faceplate. Fit a euro profile cylinder through the face of the door and secure it according to the cylinder manufacturer’s instructions. Attach the lever handle on the left-hand side to ensure correct operation of the latch and deadbolt. Operate the lever to retract the latch for normal passage and use the key or thumbturn in the euro cylinder to engage the deadbolt as required.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm door handing is left-hand before ordering
• Verify the door thickness and mortise pocket dimensions match the lock body
• Ensure you will use a compatible euro profile cylinder of appropriate length
• Check whether additional security features or a different lock type are required for your application

Usage recommendations

Use a correctly sized euro profile cylinder and ensure screws are tightened to manufacturer torque recommendations. For exterior doors, pair the lock with a suitable weather-resistant cylinder and check periodic lubrication of the latch and deadbolt to maintain smooth operation.
