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 across 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 use 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. 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 various backsets (30mm, 35mm, or 45mm) and can accommodate different locking mechanisms, including classic deadbolts and hook bolts.

Interchangeability and Customization

With the exception of the British Standard Fortress lock and SureFire models, 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 feature two hook 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, or linear bolt, has an 18mm throw and is designed to pull the door snugly against the frame, making it ideal for timber and composite doors.
