If you have an existing lock hole from a previous door (see above) & are confident that this has clearance from the existing lock, you should use this existing hole based on the “Lock Above & Lock Below” guidelines, then measure from bottom sill to the centre of the lock hole & deduct 4mm. This will be the handle height.
The centre of the lock tongue is the centre of the handle.
If not, remember you should always measure from the outside looking in to determine which side for both lock & hinges. Stand outside & close the main solid door. Establish whether you want the new lock on the left or right hand side, then if you want the new lock above the existing door handle or below. THE LOCK SIDE IS DETERMINED FROM THE OUTSIDE LOOKING IN
LOCK HEIGHT ABOVE SOLID DOOR HANDLE
LOCK HEIGHT ABOVE SOLID DOOR HANDLE
LOCK HEIGHT ABOVE SOLID DOOR HANDLE
Measure from the bottom sill to the top of the existing solid door handle & add 125mm (as shown above). This will be the new door handle & tongue height.
LOCK HEIGHT below SOLID DOOR HANDLE
LOCK HEIGHT ABOVE SOLID DOOR HANDLE
LOCK HEIGHT ABOVE SOLID DOOR HANDLE
Measure from the bottom sill to the bottom of the existing solid door handle & deduct 60mm (as shown above). This will be the new door handle & tongue height.

YOU MUST MAKE YOUR OWN DEDUCTIONS - Read this guide carefully before ordering.
The sizes you provide will be the exact size your door will be made - if you are unsure, please see our Hinged Door FAQ's or message your question.
