Union L2141 Oval Deadlock 63mm Polished Brass
We all know that feeling of wanting to ensure our homes or offices are properly secure. Whether you are fitting a brand new door or simply looking to replace an old, tired lock that has seen better days, finding the right hardware is essential. You need something that feels sturdy, operates smoothly, and looks the part. The Union L2141 Oval Deadlock 63mm Polished Brass is a fantastic solution for those who want that classic, high-quality finish paired with the reliability of a trusted brand name. It is designed to sit neatly within your door, providing that extra peace of mind every time you turn the key.
Many people find that choosing a deadlock can be a bit overwhelming with so many options on the market. However, this specific model is a favourite among professionals and homeowners alike because it is straightforward, robust, and built to last. It is specifically designed for timber doors, which makes it a versatile choice for most traditional properties across the UK. With its polished brass finish, it adds a touch of elegance to your door furniture, ensuring that your security measures do not compromise the overall look and feel of your interior or exterior design.
Why choose this deadlock for your property
When you invest in a lock, you are really investing in the safety of your personal space. The Union L2141 is crafted with a focus on durability. It features a solid brass deadbolt which is reinforced with hardened steel rollers. This is a clever design choice because it provides an extra layer of protection against sawing or physical attacks. You want a lock that does not just look secure but actually holds up when it matters most. The 12mm bolt throw is perfectly calculated to ensure that your door stays firmly in place, giving you the confidence you need when you lock up for the evening.
Another reason to consider this product is the smooth operation. Nobody wants a key that sticks or a mechanism that feels gritty when you turn it. Because this unit is designed to work with oval profile cylinders, the operation is consistently fluid. Whether you are using a standard key or a thumb turn, the movement is crisp and reliable. It is these small details that make the difference between a frustrating daily routine and one that feels seamless. We believe that your home should be your sanctuary, and the right hardware helps maintain that feeling of security without any hassle.

- The deadbolt is constructed from brass and includes hardened steel rollers to prevent tampering.
- This lock features a 12mm bolt throw which ensures deep engagement with the striking plate for maximum security.
- It is available with a traditional square forend and matching striking plate to ensure a clean installation.
- You can rely on this product for years to come as it comes with a 10 year guarantee from the manufacturer.
- The lock is suitable for both left and right handed timber doors, making it a very flexible option for your project.

Practical applications and suitability
This Union L2141 Oval Deadlock 63mm Polished Brass is primarily designed for timber doors. Its design makes it an ideal candidate for internal doors that require restricted access, or external doors where a secondary locking point is needed. Because it is a mortice lock, it is recessed into the door itself, which provides a much cleaner aesthetic compared to surface-mounted locks. This is perfect if you are trying to maintain a minimalist or traditional look in your hallway or office entrance.
If you are working on a fire safety project, you will be pleased to know that this lock has been assessed for use on 60 minute fire doors. In the event of a fire, the integrity of your door hardware is vital. This lock is built to withstand the rigours of such environments, providing you with compliance and security in one neat package. If you are fitting this into a new door, you will find that the dimensions are standard enough to make the installation process relatively simple for a competent DIY enthusiast or a professional carpenter.
Technical specifications
Understanding the measurements is the most important part of selecting a mortice lock. You need to ensure that the case size matches your existing mortice or that you have enough room in your door to accommodate the mechanism. The following table provides the exact dimensions to help you plan your installation with accuracy.
| Feature | Measurement |
|---|---|
| Case Size | 65mm (2.5 inches) |
| Backset | 44.5mm |
| Faceplate Dimensions | 152.5mm x 25.5mm |
| Case Height | 108mm |
| Finish | Polished Brass forend and striking plate |
| Case Material | Steel with silver powder coat |
Maintenance and long term performance
Maintaining the polished brass finish is quite simple. Over time, brass can develop a lovely patina, but if you want to keep that bright, golden shine, a regular wipe with a soft, dry cloth is usually all it takes. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can strip the protective coating and lead to tarnishing. By looking after the exterior, you keep your door looking professional and well-maintained.
Inside the mechanism, the quality of the engineering means that it does not require constant maintenance. However, if you feel the operation becoming slightly stiff after a few years, a tiny amount of dry lubricant can work wonders. Avoid using thick oils or greases, as these can attract dust and debris over time, which might actually hinder the smooth movement of the bolt. With just a little bit of care, your Union L2141 Oval Deadlock 63mm Polished Brass will continue to perform flawlessly for many years, backed by the peace of mind that comes with a ten-year guarantee.
