Door Locking
Mortise locks and lock cylinders
Confirm lock case dimensions, backset, centre distance, door handing, cylinder profile, keying requirement, finish and compatible handles.
Zhongshan / Xiaolan Hardware Sourcing
Locks and hardware are specification projects, not visual look-alikes.
Door hardware must be matched to the door, mounting, material, finish, keying and use case. A structured brief reduces the risk of comparing products that look similar but do not fit the same installation.
Hardware Product Directions
Start with compatibility, not only finish.
Supplier comparisons should be built around the functional requirement and mounting context before colour, style or price alone.
Door Hardware
Lever handles and hinges
Define door material and thickness, handle fixing, rose type, hinge size, load, opening frequency and finish requirement.
Sliding Systems
Rollers, tracks and fittings
Clarify door weight, door material, opening style, track length, mounting location and installation set before comparing a system.
Furniture Hardware
Cabinet handles and fittings
Specify centre-to-centre distance, overall length, material, surface finish, mounting hardware, packing and intended furniture application.
Hardware Buyer Brief
What makes a lock or fitting comparison meaningful.
- Application: door or cabinet type, material, thickness, use environment and installation context.
- Compatibility: drawings or key dimensions, mounting method, cylinder or handle configuration and handedness.
- Finish: base material, surface treatment, colour reference, corrosion expectation and sample standard.
- Commercial scope: quantity, packing, marking, target market and project timing.
Coordination Scope
Make the important fit questions visible early.
01
Read the application
Turn the door, cabinet or sliding-system requirement into dimensions and compatibility points.
02
Compare configurations
Review material, function, finish, packing and quotation assumptions against the brief.
03
Confirm samples
Use samples or drawings to confirm installation, finish and buyer approval points.
04
Coordinate handover
Keep approved hardware details, carton marks and agreed shipment preparation points aligned.
Buyer Questions
Locks and hardware FAQs.
Can one handle fit every lock body?
No. The handle, spindle, centre distance, door thickness and lock configuration must be checked together.
Is a finish name enough?
No. A finish should be supported by a physical reference, material and surface-treatment expectation, especially for repeat orders.
Can catalogue images confirm installation?
No. Use drawings, sample review and the actual door or furniture application to confirm compatibility.
