Stainless Steel Through-Type Lock for Tempered Glass Doors – Secure, Durable, and Easy to Install This premium through-type mechanical lock is engineered specifically for tempered glass doors in residential, commercial, and hospitality environments. Featuring a cylindrical lock core and a robust 304 stainless steel body, it offers superior resistance to rust, corrosion, and environmental wear—ideal for high-traffic areas where reliability and aesthetics matter. Designed for vertical penetration through the glass panel, this hardware solution ensures seamless integration without compromising structural integrity or visual appeal. Key Features: - High-strength 304 stainless steel construction (non-magnetic, anti-corrosion) - Precision-engineered cylindrical lock mechanism for smooth operation - Optimized installation process tailored to safety standards for glass drilling - Includes rubber gasket and decorative cover for a clean finish - Compatible with standard 25.4mm drill bit size for professional-grade fitting Detailed Description: The installation begins with precise positioning—marking the center point between 1.0–1.2 meters from the floor for ergonomic access while maintaining at least 100mm clearance from the edge to avoid stress fractures. Use a diamond-tipped hole opener with a low-speed electric drill (no more than 500rpm) and continuously apply water cooling during drilling to prevent thermal cracking. A two-step technique—first creating a shallow angled groove then proceeding vertically—minimizes edge chipping. Once installed, secure the lock core from inside the door using diagonal tightening of screws (torque ≤5N·m). For alignment, use lipstick on the latch tip to mark contact points with the frame—ensure accuracy within 1mm for optimal performance. Regular maintenance includes weekly surface cleaning with neutral detergent and microfiber cloths, avoiding chlorine-based chemicals that can damage the protective oxide layer. Quarterly deep care involves dry lubrication with liquid graphite oil or pencil dust as an emergency fix for stiff keys. For rust prevention, treat affected areas with WD-40 followed by anti-rust oil like CorrosionX. Ideal Use Cases: Perfect for modern office entrances, hotel lobbies, retail storefronts, and private homes featuring full-glass partitions or sliding panels. Suitable for both interior and exterior applications where durability meets minimalist design. This lock supports easy retrofitting into existing tempered glass installations while enhancing security and long-term functionality. User Feedback: Customers consistently praise its elegant appearance, ease of setup, and consistent performance over time. Many highlight how the clear step-by-step instructions reduce installation errors, especially when working with fragile materials like tempered glass. Users report minimal maintenance needs and excellent compatibility with various door thicknesses ranging from 8mm to 12mm. Frequently Asked Questions: What makes this lock suitable for glass doors? Unlike traditional mortise locks, this through-type model penetrates directly through the glass, eliminating the need for complex framing or cutting into the door’s edge. The 304 stainless steel body resists moisture and temperature fluctuations common in outdoor settings. How often should I maintain the lock? Perform daily wipe-downs if exposed to high humidity or salt air; monthly checks for lubrication are recommended. Deep cleaning every quarter prevents buildup and extends service life. Can I install it myself? Yes—with proper tools and adherence to drilling guidelines, DIY installation is feasible. However, for critical applications such as fire-rated doors or commercial spaces, hiring a certified technician is advised to ensure compliance with local building codes. Is it compatible with all types of tempered glass? It works best with annealed or heat-strengthened glass up to 12mm thick. Always verify manufacturer specifications before installation to avoid voiding warranties or risking breakage.
