Fitment & Verification
To ensure proper fitment, please check the following:
-
Confirm the gearbox is for new style GU multipoint locks by verifying the vertical groove at the top.
-
Measure the door’s backset, allowing for an additional 2mm if the faceplate remains attached during measurement.
-
Verify the required backset size from the available options before placing your order.
-
Ensure that the PZ centres match the existing lock (92mm).
-
Confirm the spindle size is an 8mm single spindle.
Common Ordering Mistakes
Avoid these common pitfalls when ordering:
-
Ordering a new style gearbox for an old style GU lock or vice versa.
-
Selecting the incorrect backset size without accounting for the 2mm measurement allowance.
-
Confusing latch reversal with lock handing; remember that the latch can be reversed by twisting, but the door handing should be confirmed separately.
-
Overlooking the PZ centres measurement, which may lead to incompatibility with handles and cylinders.
