Product Overview: ERA Deadbolt Multipoint Door Lock

Identifying Your ERA Lock
Recognizing an ERA multipoint door lock can be straightforward, but be cautious of rebranded versions. Many door and window companies use ERA locks under different names, such as Surelock, Saracen, and others. Look for the ERA logo on the faceplate, but remember that some brands may alter the logo's appearance.
A key feature to identify an ERA lock is the holdback snib color: typically grey for deadbolt and hook bolt locks, and blue for Vectis locks. However, some brands may use black or green snibs.
Lock Mechanism and Gearbox Details
Most ERA multipoint locks utilize a split spindle mechanism, simplifying replacements by focusing on one locking function. The distinctive square design of the ERA gearbox, measuring 221mm in length, is crucial for identification. The gearboxes are available in 30mm, 35mm, or 45mm backsets, all maintaining the same dimensions.
When measuring the backset, account for an additional 2-3mm for the faceplate. For example, a 35mm backset gearbox will measure approximately 32mm when detached from the strip.
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 are bi-directional, providing superior security by throwing upward and downward.
The deadbolt, referred to as a linear bolt by ERA, features an 18mm throw and is designed to pull the door snugly against the frame. Rollers assist in compression, preventing dust and water ingress while supporting the door's structure.
