Hookbolt Genuine Multipoint Gearbox - Lift Lever or Split Spindle

Product Overview: ERA Multipoint Door Lock Gearboxes

ERA multipoint door lock gearboxes are designed for versatility and security, compatible with various locking mechanisms including deadbolts, hookbolts, and Vectis gearboxes. These gearboxes are also recognized under brands such as Fab & Fix, Spartan, Westward, Duraflex, Sapa, and Saracen.

Distinctive Design and Dimensions

The ERA gearboxes feature a unique square design without corner cut-outs, measuring 221mm in overall length. The width is determined by the backset plus an additional 18mm. Available backsets include 30mm, 35mm, and 45mm, with all gearboxes maintaining consistent dimensions.

Locking Mechanisms

These gearboxes can accommodate various locking mechanisms:

• Classic deadbolt with standard euro cut out, Invincible cylinder cut out, or Vectis 5 lever mechanism.
• Hook bolt that throws upward.

Notably, the British Standard Fortress invincible gearbox includes hardened drill plates for enhanced security.

Interchangeability and Customization

Most ERA multipoint gearboxes are interchangeable, allowing for customization based on client needs. If a hook lock is required instead of a deadbolt or Vectis locking mechanism, we can build the lock to order.

Technical Specifications

• Latch Height: 24mm (with 2 distinctive screws)
• Deadbolt Height: 30mm
• Distance Between Latch and Deadbolt: 61mm
• Screw Configuration: Held by 4 screws with specific measurements between them (37mm, 85mm, and 43mm).

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