Reliable Cabinet Security with the 248 Brass 76mm 2 Lever Straight Cupboard Lock To Pass
When you need reliable, traditional security for fine furniture, office cabinetry, or utility cupboards, the 248 Brass 76mm 2 Lever Straight Cupboard Lock To Pass delivers the perfect balance of convenience and heritage craftsmanship. Designed specifically for timber doors, this surface-mounted straight cupboard lock offers straightforward installation, robust internal mechanism components, and the exceptional ease of keyed-to-pass operation. Supplied by Doorfit, this brass lock ensures your cupboards remain safely shut and neatly secured without complicating daily access.
The phrase to pass means that these locks are keyed alike. If you are fitting out an entire office, updating a suite of matching display cases, or installing several storage cabinets along a hallway, you will not have to juggle a bulky bunch of distinct keys. A single key profile opens every unit ordered to pass. This simple convenience streamlines maintenance for property managers, bespoke joiners, and homeowners alike, whilst the warm brass finish complements both antique woodwork and contemporary architectural cabinetry.

Straight Cupboard Pattern Explained
A straight cupboard lock is designed to mount flat against the inside face or rebated edge of a cupboard door. The solid deadbolt shoots horizontally into a keep or into a neatly morticed recess cut directly into the cabinet frame. Unlike cut cupboard locks that require deep recessing across the whole body, a straight pattern offers clean lines and adaptable fitting options.
The generous 76mm overall size ensures sufficient throw and reliable holding power, holding the cupboard door flush against its frame. It prevents warping over time and deters casual tampering. Whether fitted to a single pantry door, a wardrobe, or a series of workshop cabinets, the straight design provides smooth mechanical action every single time.
The Practical Advantage of Keyed to Pass
In many commercial, educational, and domestic environments, managing individual keys for a bank of cupboards creates unwanted headaches. With the keyed to pass configuration, every 248 Brass 76mm 2 Lever Straight Cupboard Lock To Pass in your order operates from an identical key bitting.
This means cleaners, facilities staff, teachers, or householders can carry just one key on their ring. You gain the security of knowing that cupboards are properly locked against curious hands, combined with immediate, hassle-free access across all units. It saves time, simplifies key duplication, and removes administrative fuss.

Installation and Fitting Tips
Fitting a straight cupboard lock is an enjoyable task for any experienced tradesperson or confident DIY enthusiast. Because this lock is straight-faced, you can surface mount it to the inner stile of your cupboard door or rebate it slightly flush for an ultra-neat presentation.
Start by marking the keyhole position carefully on the exterior face of the door. Drill the required pilot hole and cut the keyway with a fine fretsaw or keyhole file. Once the keyway is clean, align the lock body on the inside face, ensuring the deadbolt extends smoothly through the door edge without rubbing.
Secure the brass case with appropriate brass wood screws. Always pre-drill screw holes in hardwood doors like oak or walnut to prevent screw heads from shearing off during fixing.
Caring for Solid Brass Hardware
Solid brass is prized for its longevity and natural corrosion resistance. Over time, genuine brass develops a gentle, dignified patina that adds depth and character to furniture. If you prefer to maintain a bright, reflective shine, the faceplate can be polished periodically with a soft cloth and a gentle metal polishing compound.
The internal 2 lever mechanism requires minimal ongoing care. A tiny drop of light mineral oil or graphite powder applied to the keyway once a year will keep the levers pivoting freely and ensure the bolt glides without resistance for decades to come.
