Multipoint & UPVC

This Fullex Crimebeater multipoint door lock features 2 Hooks, 1 Deadbolt & 1 Latch.

A 2 hook Fullex Crimebeater with a 20mm rounded faceplate.

Ideal for new fit timber/composite doors.

The Fullex Crimebeater is engineered to provide long term reliability and security. Widely specified, Fullex Crimebeater has been fitted to hundreds of thousands of doors in the UK.

Available with 3 deadbolt and 2 hook and deadbolt variants, in 20mm steel or 44mm wrap around white aluminium powder coated faceplates. The Crimebeater was previously available with a flat 16mm faceplate, but those locks are no longer manufactured. We’d recommend a case swap or repair lock as a replacement.

Fullex Crimebeater multipoint door locks are available as either a deadbolt or hookbolt variant, but the locking points are in the same position, regardless of which version you choose. Identifying a Fullex Crimebeater is largely the same as identifying a Fullex XL lock. Very early versions of this lock did not have Fullex stamped on the faceplate, but checking the gearbox will help identify the lock. The top corner is cut off and it will feature a latch and deadbolt (XL series locks feature a latch and hookbolt).

Crimebeater locks can also be verified by checking the measurements of the external deadbolts and hookbolts. The top hook or deadbolt will measure 686mm from the top spindle in the gearbox. The bottom hook or deadbolt will measure 714mm to the top spindle.

Fullex Crimebeater gearboxes are available in 35mm, 45mm and 55mm backsets in double spindle configuration only, allowing them to be used as lift lever or double spindle nightlatch lock.

Crimebeater gearboxes measure 227mm high by the backset + 15mm. These gearboxes attach to their strips with three equidistant screws. The middle screw is 108mm from the top, which is also 108mm from the bottom screw.

These gearboxes all feature a deadbolt and latch. The latch is 24mm hight, the deadbolt is 30mm high and the distance from the bottom of the latch to the top of the deadbolt is 72mm.

Crimebeater gearboxes also feature a snib on the faceplate that can be used to hold back the latch.

Fullex Crimebeater hooks are made from chrome plated A3 hardened cast steel. Each outer hook is not accompanied by a pinbolt, as is the case with the XL lock.

On Crimebeater locks, both hooks throw downwards.

Crimebeater external deadbolts are manufacture red from chrome plated A3 hardened cast steel.

This Fullex SL16 multipoint door lock features 1 Hook, 3 Deadbolts & 1 Latch.

Fullex SL16 multipoint door locks have been fitted to doors for decades and were widely specified in both private and social housing. They feature a completely unique PZ centre measurement of 68mm. No other current full length multipoint door lock has this PZ measurement.

SL16 locks are available in various different configurations and faceplate sizes. All locks in the range feature a central latch and deadbolt with 2 additional deadbolts, located equidistant from the spindle. The measurement is 650mm from the spindle to the top deadbolt and 650mm from the spindle to the bottom deadbolt. Certain variations of this lock feature an additional hook lock between the main gearbox and the top deadbolt. That is located 345mm from the spindle.

Identifying a SL16 multipoint door lock is simple. Although older versions of this lock do not have the Fullex brand stamped on the faceplate, the centres on the gearbox are an absolute giveaway. If the centres are 68mm, double check that the lock isn’t one of the original type A-G locks (you can find more details on these in our gearbox category).

Faceplates are available in 16mm or 20mm variants and are manufactured from austenitic stainless steel.

SL16 handles require handles with 68mm centres (the distance from the centre of the euro cut out to the spindle). You may find that your handles are standard lever lever or lever pad versions or they may feature a snib that allows the latch to be held back. Lever lever handles with a hold back snib are still available, but lever moveable pad versions with a snib are not.

Fullex SL16 gearboxes are available in 35mm, 45mm and 55mm backsets and all feature a split spindle to allow them to be used as a lift lever or split spindle nightlatch function.

All SL16 gearboxes feature a 68mm centres (PZ) measurement. This is only found on Fullex locks (the FULCCA also has this measurement). The overall case height is 194mm. The case width is the backset + 15mm. The latch is 27mm high, the deadbolt is 32mm high and the distance between the bottom of the latch and the top of the deadbolt is 65mm.

SL16 gearboxes come with fixing tabs at the top and the bottom of the gearbox. These measure 15mm wide by 9mm deep. The lugs are 11mm wide. The case attaches to the faceplate with screws at the top and bottom which measure 206mm apart.

SL16 locks do not feature hooks in the traditional way that some multipoint locks do. Instead, some versions use a single, additional hook, located between the gearbox and the top deadbolt to provide additional security.

Fullex SL16 deadbolts are tapered to offer both security and compression, so that the door is pulled tight to the frame.

These deadbolts throw 20mm into their keeps when the lock is engaged for extra security.
