Wardrobe Lock Bar 24 Inch For Vertical Doors

wardrobe lock bar 24 inch is a 24 inch CompX Timberline Wardrobe Lock Bar WB-241 designed for use on vertical wardrobe doors, so it secures tall door runs with a single bar motion. The product provides a full 1/2 inch wardrobe bar throw, which extends the bar farther into the strike area for positive engagement. The center line of the lock must be a minimum of 1 inch from the edge of the door, which establishes a fixed layout reference when laying out boring patterns on 3/4 inch material. The design uses a 16.5 mm lock hole as the only machining required, simplifying door preparation by limiting operations to a single precise bore. Wardrobe bars are stocked in standard sizes as shown in the system description and can be cut to size by the user, allowing one length to be trimmed for custom wardrobe heights while still starting from a predictable stock dimension.

Key Wardrobe Lock Bar Details That Matter

• Center line of lock must be minimum of 1 inch from edge of door, giving a clear boring reference that aligns the cylinder body properly in 3/4 inch door material.
• 16.5 mm lock hole is the only machining required, limiting preparation to one accurately sized bore instead of multiple complex cuts.
• Wardrobe bars are stocked in standard sizes and can be cut to size by the user, so a 24 inch bar can be trimmed to match specific wardrobe door heights.

Wardrobe Lock Bar Installation And Machining Details

The WB-241 wardrobe lock cylinder bar uses a 16.5 mm lock hole as the only machining required, so layout focuses on drilling a single accurately placed bore rather than routing or mortising. The center line of the lock must be a minimum of 1 inch from the edge of the door, which positions the cylinder body at a consistent setback suitable for 3/4 inch material. Wardrobe bar supports should be used every 18 inches, so the 24 inch bar stays aligned along vertical wardrobe doors and the full 1/2 inch throw engages cleanly into the strike. Because wardrobe bars are stocked in standard sizes and can be cut to size by the user, the 24 inch length can be shortened to suit individual cabinet heights while still following the same drilling and support spacing guidelines.

Where This WB-241 Wardrobe Lock Bar Performs Best

The WB-241 wardrobe lock bar is for use on vertical wardrobe doors, so it is suited to tall cabinet or wardrobe applications where a single locking point must secure the full door height. Mounting the cylinder body in 3/4 inch material with the center line of the lock a minimum of 1 inch from the edge of the door provides a consistent relationship between the lock face and door stile, which is important when multiple doors in a run share the same layout. The full 1/2 inch wardrobe bar throw projects the bar solidly toward the strike location, which supports reliable locking on doors that may experience regular opening and closing cycles. Wardrobe bar supports should be used every 18 inches along the bar, so the 24 inch length can be supported near its ends to keep the bar running straight in taller installations.

Why WB-241 Dimensions Support Reliable Locking Results

The CompX Timberline Wardrobe Lock Bar WB-241 uses a 16.5 mm lock hole as the only machining required, which reduces setup time by focusing on one bore diameter that matches the cylinder body. Because the center line of the lock must be a minimum of 1 inch from the edge of the door, installers have a fixed offset that keeps the cylinder and bar in the correct position on 3/4 inch material. The wardrobe bar throw is a full 1/2 inch, giving the mechanism enough travel to move deeply toward a matching strike, which supports consistent locking even when doors are slightly out of perfect alignment. Wardrobe bars are stocked in standard sizes and can be cut to size by the user, so the 24 inch bar can be trimmed without changing the lock hole requirement or the 1 inch minimum center line offset. Wardrobe bar supports should be used every 18 inches to keep the bar aligned along vertical doors, which helps the 1/2 inch throw engage smoothly into the strike during each lock and unlock cycle.
