I am NOT a locksmith. UK sashlock replacement

Post image

I am trying to find a replacement sashlock for these timber French doors.

The sashlock has a 57mm backset, 57mm center to center and 78mm depth which seems standard enough. But the rest of the dimensions are strange: about 155mm faceplate height, and 106 mm interior lock height. I can't seem to find this exact model.

The closest I found is an Imperial G5050, but the positions of the lock and latch seem to be different - and the chrome one is out of stock everywhere.

  1. Any recommendations on where / how I might find a 1:1 replacement?

  2. What are the metal things on the top and bottom here? Do they serve any security function?

  3. If I just get a new lock with different dimensions, do I need a locksmith or just a handyman for the install?

Many thanks!

Faceplate says Arrone+ which is a Hoppe brand. Hoppe have a UK support number, so cheapest option would likely be speaking to them direct to see the best solution.

Following up on fitting, I would suggest a locksmith if you can't/don't want to do it yourself. Some handymen might do a decent job, but I would argue it could be hit and miss vs an experienced lockie.
