Cego Surelock Passive Door Multipoint Gearbox Lift Lever

This Elite Auto multipoint door lock features 1 Deadbolt, 1 Latch & 2 Autolatches.

Elite automatic multipoint door locks cover a wide range of different applications. They feature a unique trigger which, when activated by closing the door, throws auto deadlatches to eliminate the need to lift the handle when locking the door. They are available in standard and “Heritage” (where the gearbox is higher up the door) configurations.

As these locks engage without the need to lift the lever, as would be necessary on a traditional multipoint lock, they are often fitted to modern timber and composite doors with pull handles where the euro hole is covered by an escutcheon. These locks are made in Europe and feature a “Silbear” coating which offers 480 hours salt spray protection.

Identifying an Elite lock starts with the faceplate, which should be stamped with an Elite logo. The gearboxes feature a slot and a small hole below the slot, just above the top spindle, which is a piercing for bolt through handles.

Automatic locking multipoint locks have the added benefit of always having the locking points engaged at the top and bottom as well as the the middle of the lock when the door is closed. This differs to a traditional multipoint lock, where the user may not always throw the locking points, leaving the door closed only by the central latch. As the door is not held against the frame across its entire length, this can lead to doors becoming bowed or warped over time as they are exposed to the elements. Automatic locking multipoint locks help alleviate this issue as when closed, the door will be automatically held against the frame in the middle, top and bottom of the door. This helps to ensure the door stays straight and true.

If these locks look familiar, that’s because they are. Elite took over the manufacturing of these locks from Roto-Frank when they discontinued the range. They use the same tooling, with the exception of the new Silbear coating, they are made to the same specification as the original locks. You may recognise them from our catalogues as the MVD range or “Roto mark 2” locks. Gearboxes cannot be changed with the original locks but they do offer a relatively simple complete lock swap.

Elite automatic gearboxes are available as a 35mm or 45mm backset, single spindle lock. There is no need for a double spindle version as that feature is not used on an automatic locking gearbox. The same gearbox is used for both standard and heritage versions of the Elite automatic gearbox.

Elite gearboxes measure 200mm high x backset + 19mm. Be sure to account for 2mm for the faceplate when measuring the backset.

Gearbox deadbolts project 20mm and are 32mm high. The latch is 30mm high and projects 10mm. The distance between the bottom of the latch and the top of the deadbolt is 63mm.

Centres are positioned at 62mm and 92mm with the top spindle being 122mm from the bottom of the case. Single spindle locks have a round hole where the second spindle would usually be located. The gearbox is pierced to accept a bolt through fixing 19mm from the top spindle, and the slot above for fixings is 42mm above the spindle.

Elite auto latches feature an activation snib, that when triggered by the door hitting the keep, fire latches to secure the door. The cases for these auto latches measure 145mm high h x 45mm wide.

The same auto latches are used on both the flat and radius faceplate locks. Heritage versions of the Elite automatic lock feature a 3rd auto latch where the main gearbox would be positioned on a standard lock.
