How to use

To install the Valnes E701 cylinder, first ensure that the door mortise lock is compatible with the 18 mm profile. Insert the cylinder into the designated opening in the door lock case. Secure the cylinder in place using the appropriate fixing screw through the faceplate of the lock. Once installed, test the operation with the key from both sides of the door to ensure the bolt or latch retracts and extends smoothly without resistance.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the profile width of your current lock to ensure it matches the 18 mm requirement.
• Confirm that your door hardware is compatible with the Scandinavian cylinder standard.
• Check the door thickness to ensure the cylinder length is appropriate for your specific installation.

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the cylinder for debris and ensure the keyway remains clear. For optimal performance, apply a dry lubricant to the internal mechanism once a year to maintain smooth operation and prevent mechanical wear.
