Description
Product Overview
Introducing the Ultimate Collection Gearbox, designed for durability and ease of use. This gearbox features a 35mm backset and includes both a latch and deadbolt mechanism, ensuring robust security for your doors.
Key Features
-
Double Spindle Design: This model is a double spindle (92/62PZ), providing versatility in operation.
-
Compatibility: While similar in style to the Safeware case, the Ultimate Collection has a case height of 228mm, distinguishing it from the 255mm height of the Safeware model. It is specifically suited for old-style Securistyle multipoint locks.
-
Unsprung Mechanism: Please note that this gearbox is unsprung and should not be used with unsprung handles.
-
Distinct Appearance: The Key & Turn gearboxes have a unique design, differing from standard Ultimate Collection gearboxes by having the corner of the lock removed.
-
Secure Attachment: Gearboxes are securely attached to faceplates with three screws, ensuring stability and preventing interchangeability with other Ultimate Collection locks.
Installation and Operation
-
Measuring Backset: When measuring the backset, remember to allow 2-3mm for the faceplate. For example, a 28mm backset gearbox will measure 25mm when not fixed to the strip.
-
Latch Reversal: To reverse the latch, simply undo the screw, remove the latch, reverse it, and reinsert before replacing the screw.
Locking and Unlocking Process
To lock the door:
- Close the door to automatically engage the latch.
- Lift the handle to engage additional locking points.
- Throw the deadbolt and secure the system by turning the key (note: some brands may throw the deadbolt by lifting the handle).
To unlock the door:
- Turn the key to unlock the system.
- Push the handle down to disengage the locking points.
- A further quarter turn of the key will retract the latch.
Latch Release Instructions
If the latch is pushed in before fitting the case, it may stick. To release the latch, follow these methods based on your lock version:
-
Square Hold-back Spindle: Turn the spindle follower at the top of the gearbox.
-
Hollow White Plastic Insert: Insert a screwdriver into the face of the lock and push down on the white plastic piece.
-
Normal Handle Spindle: Insert any standard handle spindle through the lever follower, pull the lever down, and then lift it fully up to release the latch.
Once installed, the latch will operate normally unless manually pushed back into the lock case.
