SP-260 Lockbar Support

SP-260 Lockbar Support For Vertical Wardrobe Doors

SP-260 lockbar support is part of the CompX Timberline Lock wardrobe lock system and is used on vertical wardrobe doors to support the moving lock bar along the door height. This lockbar support works with a wardrobe bar that provides a full 1/2 inch wardrobe bar throw, so the locking bar engages firmly into the strike for positive locking on wardrobe applications. The support is designed for use with a 16.5 mm lock hole as the only machining required in the door, which simplifies door prep and keeps drilling operations focused on a single critical diameter. When used on wardrobe locks, the center line of the lock must be a minimum of 1 inch from the edge of the door, giving enough edge distance in wood or similar materials for strength around the lock body.

Key Wardrobe Lockbar Support Working Details

• The SP-260 lockbar support is specified for use on vertical wardrobe doors, keeping the wardrobe bar aligned over the full travel of the lock so the bar throw operates smoothly from top to bottom.
• The wardrobe bar in this system provides a full 1/2 inch wardrobe bar throw, so when the lock is turned the bar moves a clear distance into its mating points, helping the lock resist casual pulls on the wardrobe door.
• The lock hole requirement is 16.5 mm and is the only machining required, so door processing centers or drill jigs can be set up around a single hole size for repeatable runs.
• The center line of the lock must be a minimum of 1 inch from the door edge, giving a defined layout dimension that supports consistent boring patterns in cabinet shop workflows.
• Wardrobe bars for this system are stocked in standard sizes and can be cut to size by the user, allowing bars to be trimmed for specific wardrobe door heights during installation or fabrication.
• Wardrobe bar supports in this system should be used every 18 inches, which spaces supports along the bar so it stays straight and supported over taller wardrobe doors.

Lockbar Support Fit, Door Prep, And Machining

The SP-260 lockbar support is designed around a 16.5 mm lock hole, which is the single machining operation called out for the door, making the machining pattern straightforward for cabinet shops. Because the center line of the lock must be a minimum of 1 inch from the door edge, layout can follow that fixed offset to align the lock body, lockbar, and supports consistently on multiple wardrobe doors. The support is intended for use on vertical wardrobe doors, so the wardrobe bar and supports work with the door height rather than across the width, helping the full 1/2 inch wardrobe bar throw translate into vertical locking points. Wardrobe bar supports are specified to be used every 18 inches, which provides defined spacing when positioning supports so the bar is guided evenly along the door.

Using The SP-260 Lockbar Support In Wardrobes

Where This Lockbar Support Fits In Wardrobe Doors

The SP-260 lockbar support is used on vertical wardrobe doors as part of a wardrobe lock assembly that uses a full 1/2 inch wardrobe bar throw, so it sits along the path of the bar to hold it in line as the lock operates. The support works with a wardrobe bar that is stocked in standard sizes, and that bar can be cut to size by the user, so the same system can be adapted to various wardrobe door heights during shop fabrication or jobsite fitting. Because the lock requires only a 16.5 mm lock hole and a minimum 1 inch center line from the door edge, this support fits into a defined geometry where the lock body, wardrobe bar, and supports all share the same reference from the door edge.

Why SP-260 Dimensions Matter For Repeatable Installs

The requirement that the lock center line be a minimum of 1 inch from the door edge sets a stable reference line, so boring machines or drilling fixtures can repeat the same offset and keep every SP-260 lockbar support aligned across multiple wardrobe doors. The 16.5 mm lock hole as the only machining required simplifies programming on CNC equipment and reduces layout steps when building several wardrobe cabinets with the same CompX Timberline Lock configuration. The full 1/2 inch wardrobe bar throw that this support works with means the bar travels a meaningful distance into mating strikes, which can help keep wardrobe doors held closed under normal handling. Wardrobe bar supports in this system should be used every 18 inches, giving installers a clear spacing rule so the bar does not sag between supports on taller doors and continues to move freely with the lock action.
