help assembling a lock

Postby josephJJ » 20 Mar 2013 18:25

Hi

I hope this post does not bother anyone. I found this forum searching for lever lock pictures. I need to assembly one and I have failed so far.

This is a picture of all the pieces:

I would appreciate a lot if someone can tell me how the pieces fit together, or point me to some place where i can get information regarding this particular type of lock

Thank you.

Seems to be the solution, and the lock is working fine, however there are two pieces that I couldn't fit anywhere:

Thanks a lot

Well, the square-ish piece fits into the little slot on the left (referring to the first picture) of the cylinder cut out. It is to guide the retaining screw into the cylinder thread that holds it in. There should be a corresponding slot on the top plate. As for the round piece, I can't even tell what it is from the pictures.
Can you take a better picture of it?

Thanks for your answer, I never thought that it could be something as simple as a screw guide, I was trying to figure out how that thing was used inside the mechanism...

The round piece is just a small ring, it fits in these two places:

But i don't see any changes placing it in any of them

I'm not sure how to assemble it, but this is not a lever lock, so I think you might be searching for the wrong way.
But here's what I can help.
The thing in the top left corner of your first picture is a euro cylinder which goes through perpendicularly the body of the big box right under it. There is a dedicated hole.
The cylinder's little black thing is supposed to move aound in circle closing and opening the lock so keep that in mind while assembling it.

(PS.: Next time put numbers on the stuff on your photos either in reality of with paint, photoshop or whatever. It makes communication a lot easier. :) )
To infinity... and beyond!
