Identifying Your ERA Lock
Identifying an ERA multipoint lock can be straightforward, but be cautious of rebranded versions. Many door and window companies use ERA locks, often stamping their own logos on the faceplates. Look for the ERA logo or check for brands like Surelock, Saracen, and others.
A key feature to identify an ERA lock 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, so it's essential to verify.
Lock Mechanism and Gearbox Details
Most ERA multipoint locks utilize a split spindle mechanism, simplifying replacements by focusing on one locking function. Note that this does not apply to SureFire locks or specific automatic locking models.
The distinctive square design of ERA gearboxes, measuring 221mm in length, allows for easy identification. They come in 30mm, 35mm, or 45mm backsets, with interchangeable components (excluding certain models).
Locking Arrangements and Security Features
ERA multipoint locks offer two hook locking arrangements: a standard hook for tight spaces and a larger security steel hook for enhanced protection. Both hooks operate bi-directionally, providing superior security.
The deadbolt, or linear bolt, features an 18mm throw and is designed to pull the door tightly against the frame, ensuring a secure fit. Rollers assist in compression, preventing dust and water ingress while maintaining door integrity.
