Multipoint Gearbox - Lift Lever or Double Spindle

Product Information

Apeer gearboxes are designed for durability and functionality, available in two backset sizes: 35mm and 45mm, featuring a single spindle mechanism.

Key Features:

• Single Spindle Mechanism: Sprung single spindles are specifically designed for lift lever functions only.

• Dimensions: Each gearbox measures 228mm in height, with an additional 15mm added to the backset. The latch and deadbolt both measure 30mm in height, with a 65mm distance between the bottom of the latch and the top of the deadbolt.

• Faceplate Compatibility: Gearboxes are equipped with faceplates that include three screw holes. The distance from the top to the middle screw hole is 109mm, and the distance from the middle to the bottom screw hole is also 109mm.

• Historical Note: Earlier models featured a small spindle hole located at the top of the case, adjacent to the latch, which was utilized to hold the latch back.

Operation: Lift Lever

Latch Reversal: To reverse the latch, simply undo the screw, remove the latch, reverse it, and reinsert before replacing the screw.

Locking the Door:

• Lift the handle upwards to engage the locking points.
• Secure the locking points and the main deadbolt (if applicable) by turning the key.

Unlocking the Door:

• Unlock the system by turning the key.
• Push the handle downwards to disengage the locking points and retract the latch.

To measure the backset, follow these steps:

• Identify the Door Edge: Place your measuring tape or ruler against the edge of the door where the lock will be installed.
• Locate the Center of the Lock: Measure from the edge of the door to the center of the lock cylinder or the hole where the latch will be installed. This distance is your backset.
• Check for Standard Sizes: Common backset sizes are typically 35mm or 45mm. Ensure your measurement aligns with these standards.

To measure the centres (PZ), do the following:

• Find the Lock Cylinder: Identify the position of the lock cylinder on the door.
• Measure from the Center of the Cylinder to the Center of the Latch: Use a ruler to measure the distance from the center of the lock cylinder to the center of the latch or deadbolt. This measurement should be 92mm for your specification.

Regarding the operation of the lift lever:

The lift lever operation involves lifting the handle upwards to engage the locking mechanism. This action activates the latch and deadbolt, securing the door. To unlock, simply turn the key and push the handle downwards to retract the latch.
