Special product

The GSV-No. 3812 WC mortise WC-lock is a precision-engineered locking solution designed specifically for thin doors, combining reliable functionality with durable construction. Intended for use in bathroom and WC applications, this lock provides secure and convenient privacy operation while maintaining a compact design suitable for doors with limited thickness. The lock is supplied without a strike plate, allowing flexible installation and compatibility with a range of door hardware configurations.
Constructed entirely from high-quality stainless steel, the GSV-No. 3812 WC ensures excellent resistance to corrosion, wear, and daily mechanical stress. This robust material choice guarantees long-lasting performance and a consistent aesthetic, even in environments with high humidity or frequent use. The lock features a latch with a 12 mm protrusion, providing secure engagement with the strike area for smooth and reliable operation. Its faceplate width of 20 mm offers a precise mounting surface, while the lock case thickness of only 15 mm makes it ideal for thin door profiles without compromising strength or stability.
The lock is designed with a backset of 55 mm, ensuring proper alignment with door handles and facilitating convenient installation. Additionally, it includes horizontal holes for rosette stitching with a standard size of 38 mm, allowing seamless integration with a wide variety of handle and rosette designs. The complete stainless steel construction not only enhances mechanical durability but also ensures a polished finish that remains resistant to tarnishing and deformation.

The hand of door for mortise locks is defined as:
if the door is closed and the hinges are visible on the right/left, then the door is right/left hand. The door is therefore hinged on the right/left and according by definition of DIN right/left.
Or: if you grasp the handle with your right hand and latch and deadbolt show to the left, then it is right hand. If you grasp the handle with your left hand latch and deadbolt show to the right, it is a left hand.
Rim locks
The hand of door for rim locks is defined as:
if the door is closed and the hinges are visible on the right/left, then the door is right /left hand. The door is therefore hinged on the right/left and according to the definition DIN “right/left".
In addition to the designation “left” and “right”, it is to be indicated whether the locks are intended for inward or outward opening doors.
Sliding door mortises
The hand of door for sliding door mortises is the same for right and left. Sliding rim door locks different for left and right doors.
When ordering, always indicate “left” or “right”.
