Identifying Your ERA Lock

Identifying an ERA multipoint door 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, but also be aware of brands like Surelock, Saracen, Spartan, Duraflex, Supa, Westward, and Cego.

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 to black or green.

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 parts like 7135113479 and 7145113479, which operate differently.

The distinctive square design of ERA gearboxes, measuring 221mm in length, is crucial for identification. They come in 30mm, 35mm, or 45mm backsets, with consistent dimensions across all models. The gearboxes can accommodate various locking mechanisms, including classic deadbolts and hook bolts, with the British Standard Fortress invincible gearbox offering enhanced security features.

Locking Arrangements and Operation

ERA multipoint locks feature 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 upwards and downwards.

The deadbolt, referred to as a linear bolt, has an 18mm throw and is designed to pull the door tightly against the frame. Rollers assist in compression, preventing dust and water ingress while supporting the door's structure.

Installation and Usage

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.
