Product Overview: Permdor Gearboxes
Permdor gearboxes are designed to be the smallest on the market, measuring 185mm in height with a backset of +15mm. They feature a compact design with 64mm spacing between the latch and deadbolt, and 63mm from the spindle to the top of the gearbox. A unique groove above the spindle facilitates the installation of handles with a screw above the lever.
Key Features:
-
Integrated Locking Mechanism: Each Permdor gearbox includes both a latch and a deadbolt, ensuring robust security.
-
Distinctive Attachment: Gearboxes are secured to the faceplate using rivets, which can be easily removed for swaps, making Permdor gearboxes easily identifiable in the market.
-
Old Models: Be aware of older models that may use screws for attachment and feature a passivated yellow finish. The operation type is indicated by a sticker (red for key wind, blue for lift lever).
Operation Instructions:
-
Locking the Door:
- Close the door to automatically engage the latch.
- Lift the handle to engage additional locking points.
- Throw the deadbolt and secure the system by turning the key (some brands may throw the deadbolt by lifting the handle).
-
Unlocking the Door:
- Turn the key to unlock the system.
- Push the handle down to disengage the locking points.
- A quarter turn of the key will retract the latch.
Reversing the Latch and Nightlatch:
-
Latch Reversal: Push in the latch to reveal a screw at the back of the lockcase. Undo the screw to remove the latch, reverse it, reinsert, and replace the screw.
-
Nightlatch Reversal: Use a flat-bladed screwdriver to push the hollow black roll pin located in the rectangular slot next to the spindle hole to reverse the function.
