Product Overview: ERA Deadbolt Multipoint Door Lock
The ERA Deadbolt multipoint door lock is engineered for security and reliability, featuring a robust design with 2 hooks, 1 deadbolt, and 1 latch. This lock is a popular choice in the UK, known for its versatility and compatibility with various door types.
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 different 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 alter 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. Notably, the ERA gearboxes are distinctive with a square design and no corner cutouts, measuring 221mm in length. They come in various backsets (30mm, 35mm, or 45mm) and can accommodate different locking mechanisms, including standard euro cut outs and the Invincible cylinder cut out.
Interchangeability and Customization
With the exception of specific models like the British Standard Fortress lock, ERA gearboxes are interchangeable. If your client requires a different locking mechanism, we can customize the lock to meet their needs.
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 upwards and downwards.
Deadbolt Functionality
The deadbolt, referred to as a linear bolt by ERA, features an 18mm throw and is designed to pull the door tightly against the frame. These locks are commonly installed on timber and composite doors.
Operation Instructions
To lock the door:
- Lift the handle upwards to engage the locking points.

To unlock the door:
