This lock is crafted in Avocet's Trivalent silver finish, ensuring both aesthetic appeal and long-lasting performance, with gearboxes tested to withstand 100,000 operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIdentification and Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce removed from the door, Avocet locks are easily identifiable. Look for faceplates stamped with the Avocet logo, while older models may display the \"WMS\" logo. The unique gearbox shape, characterized by a cutout extending below the latch, aids in identifying multipoint locks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally, Avocet locks came in various configurations, including hooks, rollers, and deadbolts. The earlier versions were made from yellow passivated steel, giving them a distinctive brassy appearance. Recent models have transitioned to stainless steel or Trivalent silver finishes, with most variations replaced, except for a few notable exceptions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSash Lifter and Backset Options\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome Avocet locks include a \"sash lifter\" device for improved alignment, though these are no longer available. We recommend replacing such locks with standard versions. Most Avocet locks feature a 35mm backset, while the Affinity Bastion lock, designed for composite doors, has a 45mm backset.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLock Functionality\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCurrent Avocet multipoint locks are available only in a double spindle nightlatch configuration, with centers at 62mm and 92mm. If nightlatch functionality is not needed, the lock can still operate as a lift lever version using the top spindle. Additionally, locks designed for PVCu with a flat 16mm faceplate can accommodate shootbolts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGearbox Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvocet gearboxes measure 218mm high plus the backset (add 15mm). The distinctive large cutout in the top corner aids in handle fitment, with screws located above the lever. The latch measures 29mm high, while the deadbolt is 34mm high, with an 82mm distance between them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation and Maintenance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGearboxes are secured by arms connected with circlips, rather than conventional screws or rivets. While it is possible to remove a gearbox from a full Avocet lock, we recommend replacing the entire unit for optimal performance. Note that the design of the arms has evolved, making swaps between older and newer gearboxes incompatible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOperation Instructions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo lock the door:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClose the door to engage the latch automatically.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLift the handle to engage the locking points.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTurn the key to lock the system.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo unlock the door:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTurn the key to unlock the system.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePush the handle down to disengage the locking points.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA quarter turn of the key will retract the latch.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCorrosion Resistance and Testing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvocet locks are corrosion resistant, meeting BSEN1670:2007 Grade 4 standards and are tested for 100,000 cycles.
