Genuine Multipoint Gearbox - Thin Deadbolt - Lift Lever or Split Spindle

Product Overview: ERA Multipoint Door Lock Gearboxes

ERA multipoint door lock gearboxes are designed with a unique square shape, ensuring a robust and secure locking mechanism without corner cut-outs. With an overall length of 221mm and a width that includes the backset plus an additional 18mm, these gearboxes are engineered for versatility and reliability.

Key Features:

• Thinner Deadbolt: This model features a slimmer deadbolt compared to standard ERA gearboxes, making it ideal for installations where the lock faceplate cut-out is narrower.

• Backset Options: Available in 30mm, 35mm, or 45mm backsets, all ERA gearboxes maintain consistent dimensions, allowing for easy interchangeability.

• Locking Mechanisms: Choose from a classic deadbolt with a standard euro cut-out, an Invincible cylinder cut-out, or a Vectis 5 lever mechanism. Options include either a deadbolt or a hook bolt that throws upward.

• British Standard Fortress Gearbox: This variant includes hardened drill plates for enhanced security.

Interchangeability: Most ERA gearboxes, excluding the British Standard Fortress lock and the SureFire, can be interchanged. If your client requires a hook lock instead of a deadbolt or a Vectis locking multipoint door lock, reach out to us for custom solutions.

Specifications:

• Latch Height: 24mm high latch with two distinctive screws.

• Deadbolt Height: 30mm high deadbolt, with 61mm spacing between the latch and deadbolt.

• Screw Configuration: Gearboxes are secured to the faceplate with four screws, with specific measurements between each screw hole.

• Backset Measurement: When measuring the backset, account for an additional 2-3mm for the faceplate. For instance, a 35mm backset gearbox will measure 32mm when not attached to the strip.

Associated Products: We offer a comprehensive range of products for ERA Deadbolt gearboxes, including multipoint door locks, keeps, spindles, handles, and various accessories.

Operation Instructions:

• Locking the Door:

  1. Close the door to automatically engage the latch.
  2. Lift the handle to activate the additional locking points.
  3. Throw the deadbolt and secure the system by turning the key (note: on some models, lifting the handle will throw the deadbolt).

• Unlocking the Door:

  1. Turn the key to unlock the system.
  2. Push the handle down to disengage the locking points.
  3. A further quarter turn of the key will retract the latch.

Latch Reversal: To reverse the latch, unscrew it, flip it, and reinsert before securing it back in place.

Nightlatch Split Spindle Reversal: Remove the latch to access a small screw. Use a small screwdriver to turn the screw 180 degrees, then reposition the latch correctly.

To ensure you have the correct specifications and understanding of the ERA multipoint door lock gearboxes, here’s a detailed breakdown of how to measure the backset and centres, as well as an explanation of the operation.

Measuring the Backset:

The backset is the distance from the edge of the door to the center of the lock cylinder. To measure the backset:

1. Close the Door: Ensure the door is closed to get an accurate measurement.

2. Use a Measuring Tape: Place one end of the measuring tape at the edge of the door.

3. Measure to the Center of the Cylinder: Extend the tape to the center of the lock cylinder (the point where the key is inserted). This measurement will give you the backset. For a 35mm backset, you should measure 35mm from the edge of the door to the center of the cylinder.

Measuring the Centres (PZ):

The PZ measurement refers to the distance from the center of the cylinder to the center of the handle. To measure the centres:

1. Identify the Cylinder Center: First, locate the center of the lock cylinder.

2. Measure to the Handle Center: Use a measuring tape to measure from the center of the cylinder to the center of the handle. For a PZ of 92mm, this distance should be 92mm.

Operation of the Lock:

The ERA multipoint door lock can operate in two ways:

1. Lift Lever Operation: When using the lift lever mechanism, simply lift the handle to engage the locking points. This action will throw the deadbolt and secure the door.

2. Split Spindle Nightlatch Operation: In this configuration, the lock can be operated using a split spindle. This means that the outside handle can be disengaged from the inside handle, allowing for secure locking while still being able to open the door from the inside without a key.

Packaging:

Each unit is supplied in singles, ensuring that you receive exactly what you need for your installation.
