Product Information
These replacement gearboxes for Westward locks are essential components often found on the active door of a set of French doors, commonly referred to as Hurricane locks.
Westward multipoint door lock gearboxes are characterized by their distinctive square design, lacking 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 2-3mm for the faceplate. Thus, a 35mm backset gearbox will measure 32mm when not affixed to the strip.
Operation Instructions
To Lock the Door:
- Close the door to automatically engage the latch.
- Lift the handle to engage the additional locking points.
- Throw the deadbolt and secure the system by turning the key (note: on some brands, lifting the handle will throw the deadbolt).
To Unlock the Door:
- Unlock the system by turning the key.
- Push the handle down to disengage the locking points.
- A further quarter turn of the key will retract the latch.
Latch Reversal:
To reverse the latch, undo the screws in the latch to remove it. Reverse the latch and reinsert it, then replace the screws.
Nightlatch Split Spindle Reversal:
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.
