Product Overview: Fuhr 856 - Lift Lever Multipoint Door Lock
The Fuhr 856 multipoint door lock is designed for enhanced security and functionality, featuring 2 hooks, 1 deadbolt, and 1 latch. This lock is primarily suited for UPVC doors but is versatile enough to fit various door types.
Key Features:
-
Lift Lever Operation: The lock operates via a solid spindle lift lever mechanism, requiring the handle to be lifted to engage the locking points.
-
Versatile Compatibility: While commonly used on UPVC doors, the Fuhr 856 series is adaptable for timber and composite doors as well.
-
Distinctive Gearbox Design: Identifying a Fuhr lock is straightforward once removed from the door, thanks to its unique gearbox shape. The triangular feature at the top of the gearbox is a key identifier.
-
Locking Mechanism: The deadbolt throws 20mm, with variations for 25mm and 30mm backset locks. The gearbox dimensions are 220mm x width + 18mm, ensuring a secure fit.
-
Enhanced Locking Feel: The pre-fitted ball bearing and spring provide a more positive locking experience, distinguishing it from other locks that may lack this feature.
