Description
Product Information
KFV cases are riveted onto strips and require drilling and re-riveting for installation. These cases are designed to replace only newer KFV locks, as older versions feature different connectors.
KFV multipoint door lock gearboxes are single spindle with 92mm centers.
The overall height of the gearbox is 210mm, with a bolt throw of 21mm. The distance from the bottom of the latch to the top of the deadbolt measures 56mm, and the distance from the spindle to the top of the case is 85mm. The gearbox is equipped with both a hole and a groove to accommodate bolt-through handle fixings.
Older KFV gearboxes connect to the faceplate strip using 1/8" rivets. Few other gearboxes utilize this method (Winkhaus being another example), which can assist in identification. In contrast, newer KFV locks feature gearboxes that are screwed to the faceplate.
KFV locks are available in both lift lever and key wind variants. It is important to note that a lift lever lock cannot be swapped with a key wind gearbox, and vice versa.
When measuring the backset, remember to allow 2-3mm for the faceplate. For instance, a 35mm backset gearbox will measure 32mm when not fixed to the strip.
Early KFV models had different rivet spacing and utilized different connectors for attaching the gearbox to the strip. This is not an issue when replacing the entire lock, but it is crucial to consider if only the gearbox needs replacement, as the new gearbox will not fit very early models. Brand new locks feature a gearbox attached to the faceplate with screws.
We offer a variety of associated products for KFV lever gearboxes, including multipoint door locks, keeps, spindles, handles, and accessories.
