Installing locks for your storage lockers and cabinets may be easy for professionals but can be a tricky job for anyone doing it for the first time. This article will go over the essential things you can do in installing locks for storage lockers and cabinets correctly. This will also complement the overall look and function of the locker.
Measure Twice
If you have a template, use it. Eyeballing it may lead to undesired results like uneven spaces which will not look great and may cause faulty locking or function.
The template is a guide to help you identify where to properly put the lock. It will show how far from the edge you will need to drill the hole.
This is a handy guide if you’re doing it yourself or having a professional install all your locker locks.
Cut Once
Rather, drill once. You can either drill it while it’s mounted on the cabinet or remove the door and lay it down with support and drill from there. Again, even with the template, you should still measure for accuracy.
Lock Fitting
Use sandpaper to smooth out any rough edges. A vacuum cleaner will also help remove the dust. Once clean, install the lock in place and make sure that all the parts are correct and in place.
If you followed the template, chances are it will be a tight fit.
On the opposite side of the door, lock the nuts to keep it in place. Make sure that the nuts and bolts are tight so that it would be as secure as possible.
If you’re installing smart locks, like the NS1000, you should be aware of how to connect the lock to your cellphone. This way, you can easily administer one or multiple locks all at once after they have been installed.
