Top 3 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

 

1. What level of security does a 2-Lever lock offer?

   • A 2-Lever lock provides basic security suitable for internal doors where privacy and key control are needed. For external doors or high-value rooms, a higher security lock (like a 3-Lever or 5-Lever) is recommended.

2. Can this lockset be used on any door?

   • Yes, the latch is reversible (via a pull-and-twist mechanism), meaning the set can be installed on doors that swing either left or right (both inward and outward opening).

3. Is this lockset SABS Approved?

   • Many "Builders Pride" or similar locksets are SABS approved. While this specific "Emerald" model details vary, it is generally considered a good quality, standard residential lockset, but for guaranteed SABS compliance, look for models specifically marked SABS Approved on the packaging.
