@#$&*!!! perko mortise lock set 0927!!!

If you ever get to Wolfe Marine at the entrance to Shelter Island, ask to go upstairs to their warehouse, they have boxes of locksets - you might get lucky. Also Martin Marine in North Van has vintage boat fittings, he may have locksets.

Thanks Ken. I will look at Wolfe Marine’s inventory as well as Martin Marine.

I have a failed Perko mortise set - the cam broke similar to the image posted by Larry M. I was able to order the replacement part but now I can't figure out how to put the mortise assembly back together again. All I need is a simple diagram showing where the bits and pieces go, but can't find anything on the Perko website or elsewhere online. And can't believe they didn't include a simple diagram with the parts. Any help would be much appreciated. I guess I could pull apart another one as a last resort.

Thanks!

Hi rherten!
Where did you order the replacement cam from? Mine is broken in the same spot.
I'll probably replace the whole thing eventually, but I'd rather leave that job farther down the list.

Thanks!

Hi,

I purchased the part by special order at Steveston Marine, a chandlery in Vancouver. The part number for the bevel/cam replacement parts is Perko 096000099A - I'm sure it can be ordered at your local chandlery or online.

Thanks!
I'm actually moored in Delta so Steveston Marine is easy for me!
I don't know why I never thought of them.

Much appreciated
Reg

Perko latch set

The two drawbacks are that they use a "mini double cylinder" that the local locksmiths could not make keyed alike, and it is key operation only both internal and external.

That looks to be a 'regular' Euro cylinder style lock. The outer profile should be standard. There are usually measurements for the whole length of the cylinder and then where the turning throw is positioned.

They're not common in the US, that's true, but I can't imagine there's anything amazingly unique about the internal pins to prevent a decent locksmith from re-keying them alike. Finding the blanks, however, that could be a challenge.

Those kinds of cylinders can also be found single keyed with a turning knob inside. Much safer for an egress door in the event you need to leave in a hurry and can't find the key.

That is a piss-poor design for that latch bolt. To have those two tiny tabs riding on the handle spindle is just begging for them to break. Especially with the undoubtedly poor quality chinesium pot metal typically used. But even something machined out of better material isn't likely to overcome that bad design.

This is an old thread but I thought I'd share what I learned talking with Fisheries just now.
I have the Perko 0927 that the handle doesn't move the bolt far enough. The internal cam was worn, and according to the customer service at Fisheries, they heve 15 of the repair parts on order. Part number is PKO-09920DPOCHR.
Hope that this helps those in need.

chinesium.
Agreed.

Can’t disagree with the PP design and implementation. Sure would be nice if there was a drop in replacement.
