Product Overview: ERA Deadbolt Multipoint Door Lock

The ERA Deadbolt multipoint door lock is engineered for security and reliability, featuring 3 deadbolts and 1 latch. This lock is a popular choice in the UK, known for its robust design and versatility across various door types.

Identifying Your ERA Lock

Recognizing an ERA multipoint door lock can be straightforward, but be cautious of rebranded versions. Many door and window companies utilize ERA locks, often stamping their faceplates with different brand logos, including Surelock, Saracen, and others.

A key feature to look for is the holdback snib on the faceplate, typically grey for deadbolt and hook bolt locks, and blue for Vectis locks. However, some brands may have altered the snib color to black or green.

Mechanism and Gearbox Design

Most ERA multipoint locks utilize a split spindle mechanism, simplifying replacements by focusing on a single locking function. Notably, the gearboxes are distinctive with a square design and no corner cutouts, measuring 221mm in length.

Available backsets include 30mm, 35mm, or 45mm, with all gearboxes maintaining the same dimensions. They can accommodate various locking mechanisms, including classic deadbolts and hook bolts.

Installation and Measurement Tips

For accurate identification, it’s advisable to remove the multipoint lock from the door, especially if the brand is unclear. When measuring the backset, remember to account for the faceplate thickness, typically allowing 2-3mm.

Operation Instructions

• Locking the Door:

  1. Lift the handle upwards to engage the locking points.
