Door lock Jania Z214 72/55 mm for cylinder, right-hand, with lever

Jania Z214 is a right-hand door lock designed for use with a standard Euro-profile cylinder, specified for a 72/55 mm backset/center configuration. The mechanism combines a spring latch with a deadbolt operated by the cylinder, and it includes an integrated lever for right-hand doors. This lock is suitable for residential and light-commercial doors where a mechanical cylinder lock with lever action is required for opening and closing.

Advantages

The lock provides a compact mechanical solution with separate latch and deadbolt operation, compatible with a Euro-profile cylinder and a 72/55 mm backset/center. Its built-in lever is configured for right-hand doors to ensure correct ergonomics and reliable actuation. The design supports both replacement and new installations, making it practical for locksmiths and installers who need a standard, physically robust lock body without electronic components.

Suitable for

• Residential exterior and interior doors that accept Euro-profile cylinders
• Light-commercial doors in offices or service premises
• Replacement of existing right-hand locks with a 72/55 mm backset/center
• New installations where a mechanical lever-operated cylinder lock is required

When it may not be suitable

This lock is not intended for left-hand doors because the lever and internal configuration are set for right-hand operation. It is a mechanical lock body intended to work with a separate Euro-profile cylinder; it does not include an electronic or integrated smart locking system and therefore may not meet requirements where electronic access control, keyless entry, or advanced anti-tamper features are required.

Key specifications

• Handing: right-hand lever configuration
• Backset/centre: 72/55 mm
• Compatibility: Euro-profile cylinder
• Function: spring latch and deadbolt operated by cylinder
• Application: residential and light-commercial doors

How to use

Install the lock body into a compatible door cutout aligned to the 72/55 mm center measurement, ensuring the lever is on the correct side for right-hand operation. Fit a Euro-profile cylinder of appropriate length through the lock and secure it according to the cylinder manufacturer’s instructions. After installation, verify that the latch retracts smoothly with the lever and that the deadbolt extends and retracts reliably when operating the key. Perform a few open/close cycles to confirm correct alignment of strike plate and door frame.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm door handing is right-hand to match the integrated lever configuration
• Verify door thickness and cylinder length to ensure correct cylinder projection with the 72/55 mm center
• Check compatibility with your existing strike plate and frame cutout dimensions
• Decide whether a mechanical-only lock body meets your security and access needs

Usage recommendations

Use a quality Euro-profile cylinder that matches the door thickness and offers the required security rating. During installation, ensure accurate alignment of the strike plate and fasten mounting screws securely to prevent misalignment over time. Periodic lubrication of moving parts with a graphite-based or manufacturer-recommended lubricant will help maintain smooth operation.
