Multipoint Gearbox - Lift Lever or Split Spindle

Product Information

These replacement gearboxes are specifically designed for multipoint locks commonly found in Sapa aluminium doors.

Sapa multipoint door lock gearboxes are easily recognizable due to their unique square design, which lacks corner cut-outs. The overall length of the gearbox measures 221mm, with the width determined by the backset plus an additional 18mm.

Available backsets include 35mm and 45mm options.

The gearboxes feature a 24mm high latch, identifiable by two distinctive screws, a 30mm high deadbolt, and a spacing of 61mm between them. Uniquely, these gearboxes are secured to the faceplate with four screws. The measurements between the screw holes are as follows: 37mm from the first to the second, 85mm from the second to the third, and 43mm from the third to the fourth.

When measuring the backset, remember to account for an additional 2-3mm for the faceplate. Therefore, a gearbox with a 35mm backset will measure approximately 32mm when not attached to the strip.

Operation Instructions

• To Lock the Door:

  1. Close the door to automatically engage the latch.
  2. Lift the handle to engage the additional locking points.
  3. Throw the deadbolt and secure the system by turning the key (note that on some brands, lifting the handle will automatically throw the deadbolt).

• To Unlock the Door:

  1. Unlock the system by turning the key.
  2. Push the handle down to disengage the locking points.
  3. A further quarter turn of the key will retract the latch.

Latch Reversal Instructions

• To reverse the latch, simply undo the screws in the latch to remove it. Reverse the latch and reinsert it, then replace the screws.

Nightlatch Split Spindle Reversal Instructions

• To reverse the nightlatch split spindle, remove the latch to access a small screw. Use a small bladed screwdriver to turn the screw 180 degrees, then return the latch to its correct position.
