Three-Point Locking for Tall Cabinet Doors

An espagnolette lock operates a rod mechanism that connects the central lock to additional locking points. When the lock is operated, the rods move the locking hooks into their designated locking positions.

MLM LEHMANN describes this three-point locking arrangement as particularly beneficial for tall cabinet doors. The locking hooks can also help pull slightly warped or bowed wooden doors towards the cabinet body, improving the way the door closes.

The effectiveness of the locking mechanism depends on correct installation, suitable system components and the specific furniture construction.

Selecting the Correct Backset and Handing

The backset is the distance from the centre of the keyhole to the front edge of the lock or to the front edge of the cam in the unlocked position.

The MLM LEHMANN IC espagnolette lock Type 700 is available with backsets D15, D20, D25 and D30. An additional D15 version without a central cam is also available.

The handing must also be considered:

• rs: Right-hand application – the hinges are on the right.
• ls: Left-hand application – the hinges are on the left.

When replacing an existing espagnolette lock, compare the backset, handing and rod connections with the original lock.

Version Without Cam (OM)

In addition to the standard versions, the IC espagnolette lock Type 700 is available in a version without cam (OM) with a backset of 15mm.

This version does not have the additional central locking cam. Locking is achieved through the connected rods and locking hooks, provided that the appropriate components are installed.

Nickel-Plated and English Brown Finishes

The MLM LEHMANN IC espagnolette lock Type 700 is available in two finishes:

• Nickel-plated [N]: A silver-coloured metallic finish.
• English brown [B]: A dark brown finish as specified in the manufacturer's catalogue.

The finish can be selected to match existing furniture hardware or the required replacement lock.

Matching IC System Components and Accessories

Depending on the installation, an espagnolette locking system requires additional components. The MLM LEHMANN IC range includes rods, locking hooks, profile clips, rod guides and other mounting components.

All components must be selected according to their dimensions, connection points and compatibility with the specific lock and furniture construction.
