Specifically engineered with family safety in mind, this lock body combines reliable performance with user-friendly features that enhance daily convenience. Its versatile design integrates seamlessly with most standard home door configurations, providing homeowners with peace of mind without the complexity of commercial-grade systems. The 6068B stands out for its quiet operation and adaptive design, making it an ideal choice for bedrooms, living areas, and entry doors throughout the home.
The 6068B Lock Body features Zinc Alloy Zamak 3 construction, a cost-effective material that offers excellent formability and reliable performance for residential use. Composed primarily of zinc with aluminum additions, Zamak 3 provides better ductility than Zamak 5, resulting in improved resistance to accidental damage during daily operation. The alloy undergoes a specialized surface treatment process that enhances corrosion resistance, ensuring long-term performance even in homes with varying humidity levels.
Unlike many standard lock bodies, the 6068B incorporates a silent engagement system that minimizes operational noise. This feature is achieved through precision-machined components and a proprietary latching mechanism that reduces metal-to-metal contact during operation. The result is a significant reduction in the audible "click" associated with traditional lock bodies, making it particularly suitable for bedrooms, nurseries, and areas where noise reduction is valued.
While designed for residential use, the 6068B doesn't compromise on security. It features an anti-pick pin configuration that discourages unauthorized entry attempts by making lock picking significantly more challenging. The deadbolt mechanism engages with a reinforced strike plate that distributes force evenly, reducing the risk of door frame damage during attempted forced entry.
The 6068B Lock Body is engineered for straightforward installation, with pre-drilled mounting holes and universal backset options (60mm and 70mm) that accommodate most standard door preparations. This design reduces installation time and complexity, making it suitable for both professional installers and experienced DIY enthusiasts.
The 6068B Lock Body is specifically designed for residential environments, excelling in various home applications. Its versatility makes it suitable for interior doors, including bedrooms, bathrooms, and living areas where privacy and convenience are priorities. The lock body is equally effective for exterior entry doors in moderate-security areas, providing reliable protection without the complexity required for commercial settings. Compatible with wooden, composite, and hollow-core doors, the 6068B integrates seamlessly with most standard door handle sets and key systems commonly found in homes.
The 6068B is optimized for residential use, focusing on user-friendly features, quiet operation, and cost-effectiveness while maintaining reliable security. Commercial-grade locks typically offer enhanced resistance to extreme force and more complex key systems, features that are often unnecessary for most home applications.
Yes, the 6068B Lock Body is reversible and can be adjusted for both left-handed and right-handed doors without requiring additional parts. Detailed instructions for reversing the lock body are included with each unit.
With proper installation and routine maintenance, the 6068B Lock Body is designed to provide reliable operation for 10+ years under normal residential use conditions. The Zamak 3 alloy construction resists wear from daily operation, ensuring long-term performance.
Yes, the 6068B Lock Body can be used with most standard child safety devices and door handle covers. Its design allows for the installation of additional safety components without compromising the lock's functionality.
The 6068B features enhanced corrosion resistance through its specialized surface treatment. While it performs well in humid environments like bathrooms, we recommend more frequent maintenance (every 3-4 months) in such conditions, including wiping away moisture and applying dry lubricant to moving parts.
