Frequently Asked Questions
What are the MK3 Tasman rods used for?
These rods form part of the Whitco Tasman MK3 multi-point locking system. When the lock is operated, the rods transmit movement from the centre mortice lock to the upper and lower auxiliary locks so the door secures in three positions.
Why does a security screen door use three locking points?
Multi-point locking distributes the locking force across the full height of the door. This reduces door flex and significantly improves resistance to forced entry compared with a single locking point.
Can the rods be cut during installation?
Yes. During fabrication or repair, rods are commonly cut to suit the exact door height so that the auxiliary locks align correctly with their strike plates.
Are these rods compatible with Tasman MK2 locks?
No. The N805000 rods are designed specifically for the Whitco Tasman MK3 lock system and its auxiliary locking mechanisms.
What door types use Tasman MK3 locking systems?
Tasman MK3 locks are typically installed on hinged aluminium security screen doors and flyscreen doors, particularly those requiring three-point locking for higher security.
Additional Information
- The Whitco Tasman MK3 locking system is designed as a mortice security door lock that can operate either as a single-point lock or with optional two- or three-point locking kits.
- Vertical rods link the centre lock body to auxiliary locking points at the top and bottom of the door, creating a stronger and more stable locking configuration.
- Correct rod length and alignment are important to ensure smooth operation of the auxiliary locks and proper engagement with the strike plates.
- Multi-point locking systems are commonly used on security screen doors to reduce door deflection and improve resistance to jemmy attacks.
- Installers typically cut rods to suit the door height during door fabrication or when retrofitting a multipoint kit.
- Using genuine Whitco components helps ensure correct fit and compatibility with Tasman MK3 locking mechanisms and accessories.
