How To Install A Keyed Pocket Door Lock
H.M. Cowdroy recently informed me of their manufacturing code change. The P697 is a blister (display) pack while the TT697 is the bulk pack. We have the bulk pack in stock, now.
Here is how the installation is performed, according to the manufacturers instructions. While I suggest that your carpenter or builder be asked to install it, it is a reasonably straightforward project for the home handyman to perform, presuming they have the correct tools. **NOTE** This product is designed for doors up to 42mm (1-11/16") thick....

Lockwood 7444 Keyed Pocket Door Lock
Our largest selling product, The fabulous Lockwood 7444 Keyed Pocket Door Lock is flying off the shelves.
The simplicity in it's design and the ease of installation provide great security and access control to consumers desiring simple security and access control for their pocket or cavity doors.
We continue to see increasing numbers of units going to Canada and the east coast of USA and also discerning tastes across the west coast of the USA.
The installation animation below shows just how simple this product is, to install.
The lockset uses a standard 5 pin tumbler keyway, similar to Kwikset's standard keyway and therefore able to be keyed alike to Kwikset keys.
Originally designed for 1-3/8" thick doors, due to significant numbers of requests for use on 1-3/4" thick doors, the manufacturer decided to update the product line with a simple modification that allows the product to be used on 1-3/4" thick doors too.
We have sold roughly 2500 units over the last 4 years, with only 2 reported failures (both units replaced free of charge and overnight delivery).
Demand continues to be strong and our current inventory has dwindled to only 5 units left, as of this writing.
New inventory is expected in the next 4 weeks and unfortunately, due to the US$ currency dropping in value to foreign currencies, we will be forced to increase the cost.
Currently the product sells for US$128.00 plus US$25 shipping to the lower 48 via UPS Ground.
If you're siting on the fence, hoping to find it cheaper elsewhere, you wont. We do not offer the product through Amazon or eBay, only through our sites. We maintain the manufacturers warranty of 12 months and also offer a 30 day money back guarantee*

Freekey - No More Broken Nails, Finally!
There is almost one universal issue we all complain about when it comes to keyrings.
It is sometimes a painful task to remove or attach a key to the little wire rings we use to bind our keys together, isn't it?
Many customers, over the years struggle to remove or attach keys to keyrings and sometimes even break a nail or two in the process.
Manicures are not expensive, but they are time consuming. I'm sure many a manicurist or two has received business from customers wanting to have their nails repaired following a breakage that may be a result of attempting to open the keyring
FREEKEY is a novel solution to this ages old problem. Simply press on the indicator to spread the ring allowing easy access to removing or attaching that key and saving a broken nail and consequently the expense and time of a manicure.
Breaking News! Schlage Price Increase.
All Ingersoll Rand security products including Schlage, Von Duprin and Glyns Johnston to rise on the 5th.
