Measuring 218mm in height with an additional 15mm for the backset, these gearboxes are distinguished by a large cut-out in the top corner that extends below the latch. This design facilitates the fitment of handles where the screws are positioned above the lever.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLatch Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 29mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeadbolt Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 34mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistance Between Deadbolt and Latch:\u003c\/strong\u003e 82mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike traditional gearboxes, Avocet gearboxes are secured to the strip using arms connected by circlips, rather than screws or rivets. While it is technically possible to remove a gearbox from a complete Avocet lock, we recommend replacing the entire unit for optimal performance. Be aware that the design of the connecting arms has evolved; older models feature a flat clip, while newer versions have a curved arm positioned lower down, making it impossible to swap old gearboxes with new ones. This replacement will only fit the latest version of the case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen measuring the backset, remember to account for a 2-3mm allowance for the faceplate. For instance, a gearbox with a 35mm backset will measure 32mm when not attached to the strip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAssociated Products:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe offer a comprehensive range of products compatible with Avocet gearboxes, including:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMultipoint door locks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeeps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpindles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccessories\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOperation Instructions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTo Lock the Door:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClose the door to automatically engage the latch.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLift the handle to activate the additional locking points.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThrow the deadbolt and secure the system by turning the key (note: on some brands, lifting the handle will throw the deadbolt).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTo Unlock the Door:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTurn the key to unlock the system.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePush the handle down to disengage the locking points.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA further quarter turn of the key will retract the latch.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith these features and instructions, Avocet gearboxes provide a reliable and secure locking solution for your doors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Specification\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eManufacturer: Avocet\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBackset: Select from drop-down - How do I measure the backset?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCentres PZ: 92mm\/62mm - How do I measure the centres?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCase Height: 218mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCase Width: 50mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCopy\/Genuine: Copy\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCylinder Type: Euro\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHanding: Not Handed\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMain Gearbox: Latch \u0026amp; deadbolt\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpindle: Double 8mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOperation: Lift Lever or Double Spindle Nightlatch - What is the operation?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePackaging: Supplied in singles\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMeasuring the Backset\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo measure the backset, you need to determine the distance from the edge of the door to the center of the keyhole or latch.
