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 various 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 Details
Most ERA multipoint locks utilize a split spindle mechanism, simplifying replacements by focusing on one locking function. Notably, the gearboxes are distinctive with a square design and no corner cutouts, measuring 221mm in length. They are available in backsets of 30mm, 35mm, or 45mm, with consistent dimensions across all models.
Locking Arrangements
ERA multipoint locks offer two hook locking arrangements:
-
Standard Hook: Compact design ideal for tight routing during replacements.
-
Security Steel Hook: Larger hook case requiring minor adjustments to the door for installation.
Both hooks operate bi-directionally, enhancing security by throwing the top hook upwards and the bottom hook downwards.
Deadbolt Features
The deadbolt, referred to as a linear bolt by ERA, features an 18mm throw and is chamfered to secure the door against the frame. These locks are predominantly used in timber and composite doors.
