The Whitco Mawson is a surface-mounted zinc diecast D-handle deadlock for suitable residential aluminium and timber sliding patio doors. Its low-profile internal handle is designed to work well where an internal security screen sits close to the glass sliding door.
Whitco Mawson key features
- Australian made with an imported cylinder
- Surface-mounted sliding patio door lock
- Standard 82 mm fixing holes
- Central turnbar hole for external cylinders
- Integral anti-lift pins to help resist attempts to lift the door from its track
- Non-handed design for left- or right-closing applications where the door preparation is suitable
- Self-retracting locking beak to reduce accidental lockout and damage
- Compatible with a range of Whitco outer pulls and strikes
- External single-cylinder, snib-only and dummy variants are available
Suitable applications
The Mawson is intended for residential aluminium or timber sliding patio doors. It is a surface-mounted patio door lock rather than a mortice sliding security screen door lock, so the existing door, handle position, strike and preparation should be checked before ordering a replacement.
The standard 82 mm fixing-hole spacing and non-handed design make the Mawson useful for many replacement applications, but compatibility should not be assumed from appearance alone.
Keying options
Whitco specifies C4 5-pin cylinders as standard for the Mawson. Compatible versions can be keyed alike with other C4 and CYL4® Whitco and Lockwood products. Whitco also lists 10-disc cylinder options for suitable configurations.
Finish and common ordering configurations
Whitco currently lists the Mawson in black. Common trade-pack references include:
- W540117 – Mawson inner handle with 41 mm screws, strike, outer pull and 5-pin cylinder, black
- W543017 – Mawson inner handle with 41 mm screws, without strike, outer pull or cylinder, black
- W549017 – extended snib accessory component
Exact configuration and availability should be confirmed before supply because the required strike, outer pull, cylinder and door preparation vary between installations.
