Frequently asked questions
Locks, latches and strikes identification
What information helps Centennial identify locks, latches and strikes?
Send photographs of the complete assembly and the component from several angles, then include manufacturer markings and the measurements listed on this page. Mounting preparation, handing and dimensions may determine compatibility.

Usually not. Similar-looking components can differ in dimensions, load rating, handing, preparation and compatibility. Centennial reviews the complete opening before recommending a match or substitution.
Can Centennial install or repair this hardware?
Service depends on the hardware and the condition of the complete assembly. Send project photos or arrange an assessment so the team can determine the appropriate parts and repair approach.
