Timber/Composite Affinity Bastion Latch Deadbolt 4 Hooks Double Spindle Multipoint Door Lock

Product Overview: Avocet Multipoint Door Lock

The Avocet multipoint door lock is a robust security solution featuring 3 deadbolts and 1 latch, designed to enhance the safety of your home or business.

Identification Features

Once removed from the door, Avocet locks are easily identifiable. Look for faceplates stamped with the Avocet logo, although older models may display the "WMS" logo. The uniquely shaped gearboxes, with a cut-out extending below the latch, further assist in identification.

Configurations and Materials

Originally, Avocet locks came in various configurations, including hooks, rollers, and deadbolts. The earlier models were made from yellow passivated steel, giving them a distinctive brassy appearance. Recent updates have introduced faceplates made from stainless steel or a Trivalent silver finish, marking a shift in design.

Replacement Options

As the locks transitioned from yellow passivated to silver, many variations were phased out. However, notable exceptions like the 2 roller and 2 mushroom locks remain available, along with a shorter version of the 3 deadbolt lock suitable for caravans. For assistance in finding the best replacements, please reach out to us.

Sash Lifter Device

Some Avocet locks include a "sash lifter" device, designed for optimal sash to frame alignment. Since these devices are no longer available, we recommend replacing locks with the standard version.

Backset Measurements

Most Avocet locks feature a 35mm backset, while the Affinity Bastion lock, designed for composite doors, has a 45mm backset.

Lock Functionality

Current Avocet multipoint locks are available in a double spindle nightlatch configuration, with centres at 62mm and 92mm. If nightlatch functionality is unnecessary, the lock can still operate as a lift lever version using the top spindle.

Gearbox Specifications

Avocet gearboxes measure 218mm high plus the backset (add 15mm). The unique large cut-out in the top corner aids in handle fitment, with screws positioned above the lever.

Deadbolt Features

Avocet deadbolts feature a 20mm throw made from nickel-plated brass, with a chamfered design that distinguishes them from the square design of Avocet hook cases.
