Product Overview: ERA Hookbolt Multipoint Door Lock

The ERA Hookbolt multipoint door lock is engineered for security and reliability, featuring a robust design with 2 rollers, 3 hooks, and 1 latch. This lock is a popular choice in the UK, known for its versatility and compatibility with various door and window brands.

Identifying Your ERA Lock

Identifying an ERA multipoint lock can be straightforward, but be cautious of rebranded versions. Many companies, such as Surelock, Saracen, and others, may stamp their logos on the faceplates. Look for the distinctive holdback snib color—grey for deadbolt and hook bolt locks, blue for Vectis locks, although some brands may vary.

Distinctive Gearbox Design

ERA gearboxes are easily recognizable with their square design and lack of corner cutouts. The standard dimensions include a length of 221mm and a width that combines the backset with an additional 18mm. Available backsets are 30mm, 35mm, or 45mm, and all gearboxes share the same dimensions.

Locking Mechanisms

The ERA multipoint lock features a split spindle mechanism, simplifying replacements by focusing on one locking function. The gearboxes can accommodate either a classic deadbolt or a hook bolt, with the latter throwing upward for enhanced security.

Hook Locking Arrangements

ERA offers two hook locking arrangements:

1. Standard Hook: Compact design ideal for tight routing when replacing obsolete locks.

2. Security Steel Hook: Larger hook case for enhanced security, which may require door modifications for installation.

Both hooks are bi-directional, providing added security by throwing in opposite directions.

Roller Functionality

Rollers serve to compress the door against the frame, aiding in weather sealing and preventing warping. They are adjustable by +/- 1mm to ensure optimal performance.

Operation Instructions

To operate the lock:

• Locking: Lift the handle to engage the locking points, then turn the key to secure the deadbolt.

• Unlocking: Turn the key to unlock, then push the handle down to disengage the locking points.
