Service is important to us and part of our corporate culture. That is why we provide you with useful information about the technical terms and abbreviations used in our catalogue on this site. We also offer you information on the protection classes described in the catalogue and valuable information on how to determine the X-dimension.
Overview of technical terms and abbreviations used in our catalogue:

X-dimension use The X-dimension is the length specification for the order-related production of the latch bolt. scope this instruction applies to the following door lock systems:
DL(F), DL(F)MO, EL(F), CL(F), CL(F) MOmeasuring equipment A tape measure or similar measuring tools are sufficient. tolerances X-dimension tolerance DL(F) and EL(F): X + 1.5mm
X-dimension tolerance CL(F): X +2 / -1 mmminimum length X-dimension the X-dimension must not be shorter than the following lengths: - door interlocks without oiled felt ring and holder: 5 mm
- door interlocks with oiled felt ring and holder: 14 mm
maximum length X-dimension the X-dimension must not exceed the following lengths: - DL(F), EL(F): 90 mm
- DL(F)MO: 60 mm
- CL(F), CL(F)MO: 35 mm
Measure with door lock installed:
We recommend carrying out the measurement with the door lock installed if possible.
You will find these two installation variants on site:proceeding:
- Measure the distance (a) between the door leaf (TB) and the frame (Z).
- Measure the thickness (t) of the frame sheet.
proceeding:
- Measure the distance (a) between the door leaf (TB) and the frame (Z).
- Measure the thickness (t) of the frame sheet.
- Measure the thickness (tu) of the support (U).
measuring at door interlock uninstalled:
at uninstalled door interlock you can determine the X-dimension in two ways:
note:
Ensure that the faulty closure device is cancelled at the door interlocks DLF, ELF and CLF.proceeding:
Measure the length (la) from the top edge of the latch bolt (RA) to the outside of the housing (GA).For the DL(F)- and EL(F) types applies:
X-dimension = la – 20 mmFor the CL(F) applies:
X-dimension = la – 14.5 mm
note:
Ensure that the latch bolt is pushed in completely.proceeding:
Measure the length (le) from the top edge of the latch bolt (RA) to the outside of the housing (GA).For the DL(F)- and EL(F) types applies:
X-dimension = le + 5 mmFor the CL(F) applies:
X-dimension = le + 3.5 mm
note:Within a lift installation different X-dimensions can occur.
If several or all door interlocks at a lift installation are replaced, please check the X-dimension at the doors concerned!
