Winkhaus Gearbox Overview
Winkhaus gearboxes are designed for efficiency and versatility, making them the smallest on the market at 185mm high with a backset of +15mm. They feature a unique design with a groove above the spindle, facilitating the installation of handles with a screw above the lever.
Lock Variants
The Winkhaus Cobra locks come equipped with both a latch and deadbolt, available in three operational types: lift lever, split spindle, and key wind. Each type is easily identifiable by the color-coded sticker on the gearbox:
- Blue: Lift lever
- Green: Split spindle
- Red: Key wind
While we primarily stock the green split spindle locks, they can also function as lever-operated locks by using a solid spindle. This versatility, combined with no price difference among the lock types, makes the split spindle an ideal choice for various applications.
Installation and Replacement
Winkhaus gearboxes are uniquely attached to the faceplate with rivets, allowing for straightforward removal and replacement during swaps. For detailed guidance on replacing a Winkhaus gearbox, please refer to our instructional guide and video.
Note on Older Models
Be aware that older Winkhaus gearboxes may be attached with screws and feature a passivated yellow finish. These models are no longer available, but the operation can still be identified by the sticker colors (red for key wind and blue for lift lever).
