Probably one of the best locks of it's type ever made, the 3K70 is a High Security Mortice Lock that has been a popular choice for domestic and industrial/commercial entrance doors for nearly a century. Incorporating the famous Chubb 5 Detainer mechanism the lock has excellent protection against all common forms of attack including a positive throw solid brass deadbolt with hardened steel anti-saw rollers and hardened steel anti-drill plates. Originally bearing the Chubb name, it is now manufactured under the Union brand name. Produced in the same factory by the same people and using the same technology and parts, this lock remains "Chubb at Heart"..
This lock is standard sprung and requires lever handles with integral springing in the rose or backplate. To avoid fixing screws fouling the lock body use handles with backplates where fixings positions are adequately spaced. NOT recommended for use with door knobs.
