The backset is 55mm — measured from the edge of the door to the centre of the keyhole/spindle. What does WC mean on a bathroom lock? WC stands for Water Closet. A WC lock uses a thumbturn on the inside to engage the deadbolt, providing privacy without requiring a key. It is the standard configuration for bathroom and toilet doors in South Africa. Is this lock suitable for my timber door? Yes. The QS6055/5 is specifically designed for timber doors and includes a striker plate for a complete, ready-to-install solution. What is the CTC distance and why does it matter? CTC (centre-to-centre) is the distance between the latch spindle and the keyhole/thumbturn spindle — in this case 60mm. This must match your door handle set to ensure correct alignment. Can I use this lock with any WC lever handle set? Yes, provided the handle set has a matching 60mm CTC and 55mm backset. Always verify compatibility with your chosen handle set before ordering. What is the lead time for this product? Typically 3–4 days from order confirmation.
