Widget helps locate locks securely

The DPR - or device for preventing rotation - is a novel "widget" that Emka reckons will help panel builders locate locks securely in nonmetal doors

The DPR - or device for preventing rotation - is a novel "widget" that Emka reckons will help panel builders locate locks securely in nonmetal doors - a regular problem for users/specifiers of nonstandard cabinets.

This is a common problem, particularly with insulated or GRP doors and panels.

The device allows simple punching/cutting of a round hole with the ability then to fit the antirotational adapter which provides secure location for a standard Emka lock with its rounded corner square body.

The DPR has a simple 2-pin location and can be used either as a first-fit or as a post-fit operation, especially on difficult materials or for moulding into GRP doors.

It is suitable for all locks requiring a standard Emka-type rounded 20mm square hole, and so for all their quarter-turn lock housings and related handles such as traditional T, L and wing handles - it is especially useful says Emka for its extended housing range, to accommodate extra thick doors - where an adapter may be used front and rear for extra positive location if required.
