MLM LEHMANN IC Mortise Locks – Type 490 Mechanical Furniture Locks

MLM LEHMANN Mortise Lock Type 490 – Features and Versions

The IC mortise lock Type 490 is available in different versions. Selecting the correct lock depends primarily on the required backset, the handing and the existing installation dimensions.

Technical specifications according to the manufacturer's catalogue:

• Manufacturer: MLM LEHMANN
• Lock type: Mechanical mortise lock for furniture
• Model: Type 490 – IC system
• Backsets: 15mm, 20mm, 25mm, 30mm, 35mm and 40mm

• Handing: Versions for right-hand (rs) and left-hand (ls) applications

Choosing the Correct Backset for Your Furniture Lock

The backset is the distance from the centre of the keyhole to the front edge of the lock or its faceplate. It is an important dimension when selecting a new mortise lock or replacing an existing furniture lock.

MLM LEHMANN lists Type 490 with backsets ranging from 15mm to 40mm. The correct backset must be selected according to the dimensions of the furniture door and the existing lock installation.

Right-Hand and Left-Hand Applications

MLM LEHMANN IC mortise locks Type 490 are available for both right-hand and left-hand applications. The handing is determined by the position of the door hinges.

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

When replacing an existing mortise lock, check both the backset and the handing to ensure that the selected version matches the furniture construction.

Applications of IC Mortise Locks

MLM LEHMANN IC mortise locks Type 490 can be used in suitable cabinet doors and other lockable furniture doors where a recessed mechanical locking mechanism is required.

The suitability of a particular lock depends on its dimensions, the door construction and the available installation space. Existing mounting dimensions should be checked carefully when selecting a replacement lock.

Matching Furniture Keys and Accessories

In addition to mortise locks, the MLM LEHMANN IC range includes furniture keys, escutcheons and other system components.

When selecting replacement parts or assembling a new furniture locking solution, ensure that the chosen components are compatible with the lock and the intended installation.
