Door handle lock - spindle to keyhole distance

by MickWUK1 » Tue Mar 10, 2026 6:02 pm

Does anyone knwo if the distance from a spindle to keyhole is standard please?

I'm looking at replacing a pair of handles very similar to these...

All the measurements look good but I don't know if the distance from the centre of the spindle to the centre of the keyhole is right.

It's about 55mm in my case.. Is that standard?

TIA

Why not compare the lock you have with the measurements of the one you wish to buy.

Thank you. The trouble was knowing that I was buying one that had the required measurement.

Anyway, now resolved thanks. I took a chance and it was right. :-)
