ERA Latch Deadbolt 2 Rollers 2 Mushrooms Split Spindle Multipoint Door Lock – Option 1 (top roller to spindle = 730mm)
Quick ViewDoor Locks, Multipoint, Multipoint & UPVCERA Latch Deadbolt 2 Rollers 2 Mushrooms Split Spindle Multipoint Door Lock – Option 1 (top roller to spindle = 730mm)
0 out of 5(0)This ERA Deadbolt multipoint door lock features 2 Rollers, 2 Mushrooms1 Deadbolt & 1 Latch.
ERA multipoint door locks are some of the most popular on the market in the UK. Identifying an ERA multipoint door lock can be straightforward but there are some traps to watch out for.
The first trap is that ERA make locks for a huge number of different door and window companies, many of whom rebrand the locks. Often faceplates are stamped with the ERA logo, but they can also be stamped with brands such as Surelock, Saracen, Spartan, Duraflex, Supa, Westward or Cego, to name but a few.
A good indication as to whether the lock you are identifying is made by ERA is the holdback snib on the faceplate. This is often grey on deadbolt and hook bolt locks and blue on Vectis locks. However, some of the brands named above have changed the colour of the snib to black or green.
Its also worth noting that sometimes ERA locks are referred to Saracen. This harks back to the days when Laird made locks for the double glazing industry, before they were rebranded as ERA.
Most latch & deadbolt ERA multipoint locks feature a split spindle mechanism which makes replacements easier as you only need to be concerned with one locking function. This doesn’t include the SureFire locks, the automatic locking locks and parts 7135113479 and 7145113479, which are lift lever operation.
We’d always recommend removing the multipoint from the door to help identify it. This is especially important if you can’t identify the brand from the faceplate or it has been rebranded.
ERA multipoint door lock gearboxes are very distinctive, with a square design and no corner cut outs. The overall length of the gearbox is 221mm and the width is the backset plus 18mm.
Available in 30mm, 35mm or 45mm backsets, all ERA gearboxes have the same dimensions. They can feature a classic deadbolt with either a standard euro cut out, Invincible cylinder cut out or Vectis 5 lever mechanism. They can feature either a deadbolt or hook bolt (which throws upward). Look out for the British Standard Fortress invincible gearbox which features hardened drill plates.
With the exception of the British Standard Fortress lock and the SureFire, all ERA gearboxes can be interchanged, so if your client needs a hook lock, instead of a deadbolt or a Vectis locking multipoint door lock, contact us and we’ll build the lock to order.
ERA multipoint door lock gearboxes feature a 24mm high latch (with 2 distinctive screws in the latch), a 30mm high deadbolt and 61mm between them. Gearboxes are held on to the faceplate with 4 screws, which is unusual for a multipoint door lock. The first screw hole to the second measures 37mm, the second to the third measures 85mm and the third to the fourth screw measures 43mm.
When measuring the backset, allow 2-3mm for the faceplate, so a 35mm backset gearbox will measure 32mm when not fixed to the strip.
ERA Multipoint door lock deadbolts (referred to by ERA as linear bolts) feature an 18mm throw and are chamfered to pull the door against the frame.
Deadbolt locks are most frequently found fitted to timber and composite doors.
Rollers are used for compression, to pull the door against the frame, to help prevent dust or water ingress. They do little for security, but they also have the added benefit of helping to prevent the door from becoming warped as it is supported across its full height. This is dependent on the rollers being engaged into their keeps.
Rollers are normally adjustable by +/- 1mm to help achieve optimum weather sealing.
Operation: Split Spindle
To lock the door
1. Lift the handle upwards to engage the locking points.
2. Lock the locking points and main deadbolt (if present) by turning the key.

ERA Multipoint locks feature two different hook locking arrangements.
The first is a standard hook which features one of the smallest hook cases on the market. They are really useful when replacing an obsolete lock and the routing is tight.
The second type of hook is a security steel hook, which features a much larger hook case. Upgrading from a small hook to large hook lock can require a little work to the door, to allow the larger hook cases to fit.
All ERA hooks a bi directional, with the top hook throwing upwards and bottom hook throwing downward, for higher security.
ERA Multipoint door lock deadbolts (referred to by ERA as linear bolts) feature an 18mm throw and are chamfered to pull the door against the frame.

Avocet Lift Lever French Door Passive Lock – Shootbolt Compatible
Quick ViewDoor Locks, Multipoint, Multipoint & UPVCAvocet Lift Lever French Door Passive Lock – Shootbolt Compatible
0 out of 5(0)This Avocet multipoint door lock features no locking points and is suitable for the passive door on a pair of French doors.
The original Avocet Passive Lock with attachments for shootbolts.
Made in Avocets Trivalent silver finish but is also available in stainless steel finish by special order for harsher environments.
Avocet multipoint door locks are easily identifiable once they are removed from the door. Faceplates are usually stamped with the Avocet logo, although older locks may have the “WMS” logo stamped. Gearboxes are uniquely shaped, with the cut out extending below the latch, which is unique when identifying multipoint locks.
Avocet multipoint door locks were originally available in a wide range of different configurations featuring hooks, rollers, deadbolts and an Affinity Bastion lock with opposing hooks. Earlier versions of Avocet multipoint locks were made in yellow passivated steel, which have a distinctive brassy colour. Recently, the locks have changed with faceplates made from a stainless steel or a Trivalent silver finish.
When these locks swapped from yellow passivated to silver, the majority of variations were replaced. Notable exceptions include the 2 roller and 2 mushroom lock as well as the shorter version of the 3 deadbolt lock designed for use on caravans. Please contact us if you would like assistance finding the best replacements for these locks.
Also, it’s worth noting some Avocet multipoint door locks feature a “sash lifter” device. This device was designed to help ensure the correct sash to frame alignment but these are no longer available so we would recommend replacing these locks with the standard version.
Most Avocet locks are only available in a 35mm backset, but the Affinity Bastion lock is designed for composite doors and feature a 45mm backset.
Although some original Avocet multipoint 4 roller door locks feature a single spindle and lift lever functionality, all current locks are only available in a double spindle nightlatch configuration. The centres are at 62mm and 92mm, but if the nightlatch functionality is not required, the lock can still be used as a lift lever version using the top spindle.
All Avocet locks which are designed for PVCu with a flat 16mm faceplate have the ability to accept shootbolts.
Avocet gearboxes measure 218mm high x backset + 15mm. It’s the large cut out in the top corner, that extends below the latch which makes them unique. This feature can assist with the fitment of handles as the screws are located above the lever.
Avocet gearboxes feature a latch that is 29mm high and a deadbolt that is 34mm high with a distance of 82mm between the top of the deadbolt and the bottom of the latch.
These gearboxes are not attached to the strip using conventional screws or rivets. Instead, the gearboxes are held by arms which connect using circlips. While it’s possible to remove a gearbox from a full Avocet lock, we would advise replacing the full unit. Also, it’s worth noting the design of the arms have changed over time and older gearboxes have a flat clip. Newer versions have a slightly curved connecting arm located lower down making gearbox swaps with newer for older versions impossible.
When measuring the backset, allow 2-3mm for the faceplate, so a 35mm backset gearbox will measure 32mm when not fixed to the strip.
Operation: Lift Lever
To lock the door
1. Lift the handle upwards to engage the locking points.
2. Lock the locking points and main deadbolt (if present) by turning the key.
To unlock the door

The Key Turn gearbox is available in 45mm backset only.
Gearboxes are attached to faceplates with 3 screws and cannot be interchanged with other lockmaster locks.
When measuring the backset, allow 2-3mm for the faceplate, so a 28mm backset gearbox will measure 25mm when not fixed to the strip.

The second generation Millenco Mantis lock features 65/95mm centres and is available in 2 variations. This lock features 1300mm hook centres and a 16mm wide faceplate.
Millenco Mantis 2 multipoint door locks are second generation Millenco locks. They feature unique measurements of 95mm and 65mm centres (PZ) and now form part of the Yale group of companies.
Mantis 2 multipoint locks are available 3 different variants: 3 hooks and 2 deadbolts, 3 hooks and 2 deadbolts with 2 rollers and passive lock version. Historically, these locks have been available with a 20mm faceplate, but they are now only available with a 16mm faceplate.
Identifying a Millenco Mantis 2 multipoint door lock is straightforward as it is the only lock on the market with a double spindle, 95mm and 65mm centres. This is the best way to ensure that you have the correct lock as early versions of these locks had no brand stamped on the faceplate.
Millenco Mantis 2 gearboxes are only available in one configuration and backset. The configuration is double spindle for lift lever or double spindle nightlatch operation. The only backset available is 35mm.
Mantis 2 gearboxes measure 205mm high by 55mm wide. They feature a central hook bolt that is 45mm high and a latch which measures 23mm high and projects 11mm.
Even though the faceplate can be unscrewed, a Mantis 2 gearbox cannot be swapped with a replacement as it is connected to the linkage rail that runs behind the faceplate.
Millenco hooks are comprised of a hook that moves upwards and a deadbolt, immediately below it. Hook cases measure 140mm by 48mm and the deadbolts throw 20mm into their keeps.
Rollers are used for compression, to pull the door against the frame, to help prevent dust or water ingress. They do little for security, but they also have the added benefit of helping to prevent the door from becoming warped as it is supported across its full height. This is dependent on the rollers being engaged into their keeps.
Rollers are normally adjustable by 1mm to help achieve optimum weather sealing.

Quick ViewDoor Locks, Multipoint, Multipoint & UPVCWinkhaus Trulock Latch Deadbolt 2 Hooks 24mm U-Rail Faceplate Multipoint Door Lock – Option 1 (top hook to spindle = 740mm)
0 out of 5(0)This Winkhaus Trulock multipoint door lock features 2 Hooks, 1 Deadbolt & 1 Latch.
The Winkhaus Trulock is a multi-point locking system suited for use with timber and composite doors in the social housing and new build markets. It featuring a central latch and deadbolt and2 or more hook locking points. Trulock multipoint locks are available with lift lever operation, split spindle or key wind.
Winkhaus Trulocks are characterised by their central latch and deadbolt. They will also feature either 2 or 4 hooks as the additional locking points. Trulocks always feature handed hook locking points, which cannot be reversed on site.
It is also worth noting that Winkhaus Trulocks feature the same gearbox as a Cobra, but with slightly different hooks. Cobra locks are non handed, whereas Trulocks are handed.
The quickest way to identify the product, before removing it from the door, is to check the faceplate. You’ll spot a Winkhaus logo and, often, a Secured by Design logo. The Trulock version will be identified by the central deadbolt and handed hooks.
Usefully, all Winkhaus locks feature the same routing details. Therefore, if you wish to change the locking operation, or upgrade to automatic locking, its a straightforward process. New keeps and handles may be required.
All Winkhaus gearboxes, apart from the AV4 measure 185mm high x backset + 15mm, making them the smallest gearboxes on the market. They measure 64mm between the latch and deadbolt and 63mm from the spindle to the top of the gearbox. They also feature a groove above the spindle to aid in the fitment of handles with a screw above the lever.
Winkhaus gearboxes are attached to the faceplate with a set of rivets. These can be easily removed and replaced for gearbox swaps but makes Winkhaus relatively unique (and therefore easier to identify) in the market. Please refer to our guide and video on how to replace a Winkhaus gearbox for full details.
Winkhaus Trulock gearboxes always feature a latch and deadbolt in the gearbox. They are available in lift lever, split spindle and key wind operation and are interchangeable with Cobra gearboxes. These are easily identifiable by the sticker on the side of the gearbox. If the writing is blue, This is lift lever, if its green, then the lock is split spindle, whereas red means key wind. We often will only stock the green, split spindle locks, where both a lift lever and split spindle version are available. This is because the split spindle can be used as a lever operated lock by inserting a solid spindle all the way through the follower. There’s also no price difference between the locks, so the added versatility of the split spindle lock makes it a suitable replacement for a larger range of locks.
Please note that you may have encountered a really old Winkhaus gearbox that is attached to the faceplate with screws, with a passivated yellow finish. The sticker on the side (red = key wind and blue = lift lever) will denote the operation of the lock. These locks were handed and are no longer available.
Trulock features a special design tensile steel handed hook with a 4.5mm chamfer allows a high degree of fitting tolerance for door installation. In addition the hook shape provides low operating forces and helps doors achieve a higher level of weather performance.

Quick ViewDoor Locks, Multipoint, Multipoint & UPVCWinkhaus AV2 Latch Only 2 Hooks Multipoint Door Lock – Autolocking
0 out of 5(0)This Winkhaus AV2 multipoint door lock features 2 Hooks & 1 Latch.
The AV2 autolock multipoint lock was introduced by Winkhaus in 2008 and it was designed to offer convenience to users and to maintain security standards. The result is a lock that operates as soon as the door is closed, without the need to lift the handle to engage the hooks.
The quickest way to identify the product, before removing it from the door, is to check the faceplate. You’ll spot a Winkhaus logo and, often, a Secured by Design logo. The AV2 version of the Winkhaus is identified by checking the operation of the lock.
Usefully, all Winkhaus locks feature the same routing details. Therefore, if you wish to change the locking operation, or upgrade to automatic locking, its a straightforward process. New keeps and handles may be required.
Winkhaus AV2 autolock multipoints are often specified on fire doors which require multipoint locking. Fire Door tests require doors to be tested in the latch position only, without the locking points being engaged. This is to simulate how a door may be commonly closed, however, it can create problem with achieving a satisfactory fire test result as the door leaf can bow and twist in the heat. The problem is eliminated with AV2 as the lock engages automatically in three positions helping to hold the door leaf in place against the intumescent seals and thereby achieving a fire door rating. Please note that the fitment of an AV2 lock does not mean that the door meets fire door standards and you should take specific advice.
Av2 autolocks are commonly fitted with a motor to allow for motorised locking and unlocking of doors. The locked door can be opened from the inside as usual with the door handle, or from both inside and outside using potential hands free opening products such as fingerprint, audio/visual intercom systems or even face recognition.
All Winkhaus gearboxes, apart from the AV4 measure 185mm high x backset + 15mm, making them the smallest gearboxes on the market. They measure 64mm between the latch and deadbolt and 63mm from the spindle to the top of the gearbox. They also feature a groove above the spindle to aid in the fitment of handles with a screw above the lever.
Winkhaus AV2 multipoint lock gearboxes feature an alloy sprung latch and nickel plated steel deadbolt. Most AV2 locks also feature an independent central deadbolt, but a latch only version of the lock is also available.
AV2 gearboxes are distinctive as they are handed. Certain models have a latch reversal screw which, in theory, makes it possible to reverse the latch on an AV2 gearbox. However, the hooks on the lock cannot be reversed and many AV2 gearboxes will have the latch reversal screw blanked off, so you should chose the appropriate handed gearbox when replacing a broken lock.
Winkhaus gearboxes are attached to the faceplate with a set of rivets. These can be easily removed and replaced for gearbox swaps but makes Winkhaus relatively unique (and therefore easier to identify) in the market. Please refer to our guide and video on how to replace a Winkhaus gearbox for full details.
Please note that you may have encountered a really old Winkhaus gearbox that is attached to the faceplate with screws, with a passivated yellow finish. The sticker on the side (red = key wind and blue = lift lever) will denote the operation of the lock. These locks were handed and are no longer available.
The autoLock AV2 features two solid hooks which throw automatically when the door is closed, ensuring complete claw engagement and security against the lock being pushed back. As the door locks automatically, a security risk is eliminated for users that may find it challenging to lift a lever.
Please note that these hook boxes are handed as they sit slightly offset, ensuring greater compression against the frame.
Winkhaus Autolock AV2 hooks also have the added benefit of being thrown when the door is closed, ensuring that the door is held in place across its entire length. This helps prevent doors from becoming warped or bowed.

Quick ViewDoor Locks, Multipoint, Multipoint & UPVCFuhr 870 Emergency Exit Latch Deadbolt 2 Pins Panic Multipoint Door Lock
0 out of 5(0)This Fuhr 870 – Panic multipoint door lock features 2 Pin Bolts.
The Fuhr 870 Type 8 emergency exit multipoint door lock features 2 steel round bolts, latch and deadbolt. The door lock is capable of meeting the requirements of EN 1125 (applies to public buildings or other premises where occupants may not be familiar with exit routes and hardware devices) and EN 179 (applies to non-public buildings and potentials users have been fully trained on how to use the door).
In order to comply with these standards, the lock must be used with an approved free movement cylinder and panic bar.
From the inside, the 870 allows the door to be opened at any time to provide an emergency exit. From outside, access can be provided using a key. After opening, the cylinder must be locked to regain full security.
Two kit options are available for the FUHR 870 depending upon whether outside access is required. If access is required, the kit includes a silver backplate and knob handle set, while the key operates the lock the handle allows the door to be pulled open.
For double doors, a 3 piece lock is available for the slave leaf to run behind the false mullion. Shootbolt extensions fit to a centre section providing security on the slave leaf. The standard 870 lock can be used as the master lock. A CES free movement cylinder should always be used on FUHR panic gearing to meet EN standards for panic or emergency escape doors and achieve CE mark.
To achieve EN 1125 for double doors the 870 EN 1125 slave lock should be used alongside the standard master leaf set up:
Special handed, sprung loaded shootbolts. Special non PZ panic bar fitted to slave leaf, plus a special quick release centre catch plate.

Winkhaus Cobra Latch Deadbolt 2 Hooks Split Spindle Multipoint Door Lock – with Entryguard Facility
Quick ViewDoor Locks, Multipoint, Multipoint & UPVCWinkhaus Cobra Latch Deadbolt 2 Hooks Split Spindle Multipoint Door Lock – with Entryguard Facility
0 out of 5(0)This Winkhaus Cobra multipoint door lock features 2 Hooks, 1 Deadbolt & 1 Latch with Entryguard Facility.
The Winkhaus Cobra is the original Winkhaus multipoint lock, featuring a central latch and deadbolt and2 or more “Cobra” hook locking points. Cobra multipoint locks are available with lift lever operation, split spindle or key wind.
Winkhaus Cobra locks are characterised by their central latch and deadbolt. They will also feature either 2 or 4 hooks as the additional locking points. While available as a 4 roller lock, Winkhaus Cobra locks are not normally available as a hook and roller combination lock. That function is left to the Scorpion range.
Cobra locks often feature locking distances of 1490mm between the external hooks. This distance has become very popular in the market, with numerous manufacturers adopting this configuration.
It is also worth noting that Winkhaus Trulocks feature the same gearbox as a Cobra, but with slightly different hooks. Cobra locks are non handed, whereas Trulocks are handed.
The quickest way to identify the product, before removing it from the door, is to check the faceplate. You’ll spot a Winkhaus logo and, often, a Secured by Design logo. The Cobra version will be identified by the central deadbolt and non handed hooks.
Winkhaus Cobra locks are unique as they are available with various different locking features. These include an Entryguard function which is a guard bar that operates in a similar way to a door chain. Its more secure and it can be released from the outside by the key holder if they turn the key an additional 45 degrees.
Another option is a lockout cylinder with a double function that incorporates two locking cylinders. A central double or thumb turn cylinder plus an additional half cylinder in the FA housing on the external side of the door. When the dwelling is unoccupied both cylinders can be locked with the same key (talk to us about our keying alike service) thus double deadlocking the door. This prevents any intruder who may have entered the property elsewhere, exiting the property by operating the internal thumb turn and unlocking the door (deadlocking the half cylinder on the outside overrides the internal lock operation).
Usefully, all Winkhaus locks feature the same routing details. Therefore, if you wish to change the locking operation, or upgrade to automatic locking, its a straightforward process. New keeps and handles may be required.
All Winkhaus gearboxes, apart from the AV4 measure 185mm high x backset + 15mm, making them the smallest gearboxes on the market. They measure 64mm between the latch and deadbolt and 63mm from the spindle to the top of the gearbox. They also feature a groove above the spindle to aid in the fitment of handles with a screw above the lever.
Winkhaus Cobra locks always feature a latch and deadbolt in the gearbox. They are available in lift lever, split spindle and key wind operation. These are easily identifiable by the sticker on the side of the gearbox. If the writing is blue, This is lift lever, if its green, then the lock is split spindle, whereas red means key wind. We often will only stock the green, split spindle locks, where both a lift lever and split spindle version are available. This is because the split spindle can be used as a lever operated lock by inserting a solid spindle all the way through the follower. There’s also no price difference between the locks, so the added versatility of the split spindle lock makes it a suitable replacement for a larger range of locks.
Winkhaus gearboxes are attached to the faceplate with a set of rivets. These can be easily removed and replaced for gearbox swaps but makes Winkhaus relatively unique (and therefore easier to identify) in the market. Please refer to our guide and video on how to replace a Winkhaus gearbox for full details.
Please note that you may have encountered a really old Winkhaus gearbox that is attached to the faceplate with screws, with a passivated yellow finish. The sticker on the side (red = key wind and blue = lift lever) will denote the operation of the lock. These locks were handed and are no longer available.
Winkhaus Cobra locks feature 25mm throw solid steel Cobra hooks. These high security solid forged steel and nickel plated hooks that fully engage the keep rail and help prevent forcing the sash and frame apart.
Cobra hooks throw downwards, as opposed to Scorpion locks which can throw downwards or bi directional. Cobra hook cases measure 113mm high by 45mm wide.

KFV Latch Deadbolt 2 Pin Bolts Key Wind Operated Multipoint Door Lock
Quick ViewDoor Locks, Multipoint, Multipoint & UPVCKFV Latch Deadbolt 2 Pin Bolts Key Wind Operated Multipoint Door Lock
0 out of 5(0)This KFV Key Wind multipoint door lock features 2 Pin Bolts, 1 Deadbolt & 1 Latch.
Identifying a KFV multipoint door lock is sometimes difficult. Early models did not feature a stamp on the faceplate but, thankfully, any locks produced in the last few years do feature the KFV logo.
We’d always recommend removing the multipoint from the door to help identify it and that is even more important for KFV. Early models feature a yellow passivated faceplate and dark grey gearboxes, whereas new models have shiny silver faceplates and light grey gearboxes. The best way to identify them is to match the measurements up with out line drawings.
KFV locks have changed over time, with a significant number of locks now discontinued. New KFV locks have been designed to be modular, without the need to change routing positions for fabricators. That means that when replacing old locks, keeps may need to be moved, or hook boxes repositioned. If there is limited clearance on the original routing, this may require a small amount of work to the door to enable the locks to fit.
KFV multipoint door lock gearboxes are single spindle and 92mm centres.
The overall height of the gearbox is 210mm, the bolt throws 21mm and the distance from the bottom of the latch to the top of the deadbolt is 56mm. The distance from the spindle to the top of the case is 85mm but the gearbox has both a hole and a groove to accept bolt through handle fixings.
Older KFV gearboxes are connected to the faceplate strip with 1/8″ rivets. There are very few other gearboxes which are fitted in this way (Winkhaus being another example) which can help with identification. However, new KFV locks have gearboxes screwed to the faceplate.
KFV locks are available as either a lift lever or key wind variants. It is worth noting that it is not possible to swap a lift lever lock to a key wind gearbox or visa versa.
When measuring the backset, allow 2-3mm for the faceplate, so a 35mm backset gearbox will measure 32mm when not fixed to the strip.
Early KFV models had different rivet spacing and used different connectors when attaching the gearbox to the strip. This is not a problem when replacing the whole lock, but worth considering if only the gearbox needs replacing as the new gearbox will not replace very early models. Brand new locks have a gearbox that is attached to the faceplate with screws.
KFV pins are made from hardened steel to protect against sawing. Their pins are small, round bolts with a chamfered tip, which extend when the lock is thrown. Pins share common deadbolt keeps.
KFV deadbolts feature a distinctive chamfered centre which help the lock connect into the keep. The shape is distinctive, with raised parts at the top and bottom of the deadbolt which can help with identification of the lock.

ERA Latch Deadbolt 2 Rollers 2 Mushrooms Split Spindle Multipoint Door Lock – Option 1 (top roller to spindle = 730mm)

ERA Latch Deadbolt 2 Rollers 2 Mushrooms Split Spindle Multipoint Door Lock – Option 1 (top roller to spindle = 730mm)
This ERA Deadbolt multipoint door lock features 2 Rollers, 2 Mushrooms1 Deadbolt & 1 Latch.
ERA multipoint door locks are some of the most popular on the market in the UK. Identifying an ERA multipoint door lock can be straightforward but there are some traps to watch out for.
The first trap is that ERA make locks for a huge number of different door and window companies, many of whom rebrand the locks. Often faceplates are stamped with the ERA logo, but they can also be stamped with brands such as Surelock, Saracen, Spartan, Duraflex, Supa, Westward or Cego, to name but a few.
A good indication as to whether the lock you are identifying is made by ERA is the holdback snib on the faceplate. This is often grey on deadbolt and hook bolt locks and blue on Vectis locks. However, some of the brands named above have changed the colour of the snib to black or green.
Its also worth noting that sometimes ERA locks are referred to Saracen. This harks back to the days when Laird made locks for the double glazing industry, before they were rebranded as ERA.
Most latch & deadbolt ERA multipoint locks feature a split spindle mechanism which makes replacements easier as you only need to be concerned with one locking function. This doesn’t include the SureFire locks, the automatic locking locks and parts 7135113479 and 7145113479, which are lift lever operation.
We’d always recommend removing the multipoint from the door to help identify it. This is especially important if you can’t identify the brand from the faceplate or it has been rebranded.
ERA multipoint door lock gearboxes are very distinctive, with a square design and no corner cut outs. The overall length of the gearbox is 221mm and the width is the backset plus 18mm.
Available in 30mm, 35mm or 45mm backsets, all ERA gearboxes have the same dimensions. They can feature a classic deadbolt with either a standard euro cut out, Invincible cylinder cut out or Vectis 5 lever mechanism. They can feature either a deadbolt or hook bolt (which throws upward). Look out for the British Standard Fortress invincible gearbox which features hardened drill plates.
With the exception of the British Standard Fortress lock and the SureFire, all ERA gearboxes can be interchanged, so if your client needs a hook lock, instead of a deadbolt or a Vectis locking multipoint door lock, contact us and we’ll build the lock to order.
ERA multipoint door lock gearboxes feature a 24mm high latch (with 2 distinctive screws in the latch), a 30mm high deadbolt and 61mm between them. Gearboxes are held on to the faceplate with 4 screws, which is unusual for a multipoint door lock. The first screw hole to the second measures 37mm, the second to the third measures 85mm and the third to the fourth screw measures 43mm.
When measuring the backset, allow 2-3mm for the faceplate, so a 35mm backset gearbox will measure 32mm when not fixed to the strip.
ERA Multipoint door lock deadbolts (referred to by ERA as linear bolts) feature an 18mm throw and are chamfered to pull the door against the frame.
Deadbolt locks are most frequently found fitted to timber and composite doors.
Rollers are used for compression, to pull the door against the frame, to help prevent dust or water ingress. They do little for security, but they also have the added benefit of helping to prevent the door from becoming warped as it is supported across its full height. This is dependent on the rollers being engaged into their keeps.
Rollers are normally adjustable by +/- 1mm to help achieve optimum weather sealing.
Operation: Split Spindle
To lock the door
1. Lift the handle upwards to engage the locking points.
2. Lock the locking points and main deadbolt (if present) by turning the key.
To unlock the door
1. Unlock the system by turning the key.
2. Push the handle downwards to disengage the locking points and retract the latch.

You may find this lock used as an UPVC door lock or an aluminium door lock.

ERA Multipoint locks feature two different hook locking arrangements.
The first is a standard hook which features one of the smallest hook cases on the market. They are really useful when replacing an obsolete lock and the routing is tight.
The second type of hook is a security steel hook, which features a much larger hook case. Upgrading from a small hook to large hook lock can require a little work to the door, to allow the larger hook cases to fit.
All ERA hooks a bi directional, with the top hook throwing upwards and bottom hook throwing downward, for higher security.
ERA Multipoint door lock deadbolts (referred to by ERA as linear bolts) feature an 18mm throw and are chamfered to pull the door against the frame.

Avocet Lift Lever French Door Passive Lock – Shootbolt Compatible

Avocet Lift Lever French Door Passive Lock – Shootbolt Compatible
This Avocet multipoint door lock features no locking points and is suitable for the passive door on a pair of French doors.
The original Avocet Passive Lock with attachments for shootbolts.
Made in Avocets Trivalent silver finish but is also available in stainless steel finish by special order for harsher environments.
Avocet multipoint door locks are easily identifiable once they are removed from the door. Faceplates are usually stamped with the Avocet logo, although older locks may have the “WMS” logo stamped. Gearboxes are uniquely shaped, with the cut out extending below the latch, which is unique when identifying multipoint locks.
Avocet multipoint door locks were originally available in a wide range of different configurations featuring hooks, rollers, deadbolts and an Affinity Bastion lock with opposing hooks. Earlier versions of Avocet multipoint locks were made in yellow passivated steel, which have a distinctive brassy colour. Recently, the locks have changed with faceplates made from a stainless steel or a Trivalent silver finish.
When these locks swapped from yellow passivated to silver, the majority of variations were replaced. Notable exceptions include the 2 roller and 2 mushroom lock as well as the shorter version of the 3 deadbolt lock designed for use on caravans. Please contact us if you would like assistance finding the best replacements for these locks.
Also, it’s worth noting some Avocet multipoint door locks feature a “sash lifter” device. This device was designed to help ensure the correct sash to frame alignment but these are no longer available so we would recommend replacing these locks with the standard version.
Most Avocet locks are only available in a 35mm backset, but the Affinity Bastion lock is designed for composite doors and feature a 45mm backset.
Although some original Avocet multipoint 4 roller door locks feature a single spindle and lift lever functionality, all current locks are only available in a double spindle nightlatch configuration. The centres are at 62mm and 92mm, but if the nightlatch functionality is not required, the lock can still be used as a lift lever version using the top spindle.
All Avocet locks which are designed for PVCu with a flat 16mm faceplate have the ability to accept shootbolts.
Avocet gearboxes measure 218mm high x backset + 15mm. It’s the large cut out in the top corner, that extends below the latch which makes them unique. This feature can assist with the fitment of handles as the screws are located above the lever.
Avocet gearboxes feature a latch that is 29mm high and a deadbolt that is 34mm high with a distance of 82mm between the top of the deadbolt and the bottom of the latch.
These gearboxes are not attached to the strip using conventional screws or rivets. Instead, the gearboxes are held by arms which connect using circlips. While it’s possible to remove a gearbox from a full Avocet lock, we would advise replacing the full unit. Also, it’s worth noting the design of the arms have changed over time and older gearboxes have a flat clip. Newer versions have a slightly curved connecting arm located lower down making gearbox swaps with newer for older versions impossible.
When measuring the backset, allow 2-3mm for the faceplate, so a 35mm backset gearbox will measure 32mm when not fixed to the strip.
Operation: Lift Lever
To lock the door
1. Lift the handle upwards to engage the locking points.
2. Lock the locking points and main deadbolt (if present) by turning the key.
To unlock the door
1. Unlock the system by turning the key.
2. Push the handle downwards to disengage the locking points and retract the latch.

Avocet hooks throw in opposing directions, with the top hook going upwards, and the bottom hook throwing downwards. Hook boxes are 123mm high and doors that are normally prepared to 150mm will accept the hook case.
Avocet deadbolts feature a 20mm throw made from nickel plated brass. The deadbolt gearboxes feature a distinctive chamfered design, in contrast to the square design of Avocet hook cases.
Rollers are manufactured from nickel plated brass. They are used for compression, to pull the door against the frame, to help prevent dust or water ingress. They do little for security, but they also have the added benefit of helping to prevent the door from becoming warped as it is supported across its full height.

SEA Multipoint Gearbox – Lift Lever or Split Spindle

SEA Multipoint Gearbox – Lift Lever or Split Spindle
All SEA gearboxes, measure 185mm high x backset + 15mm, making them the smallest gearboxes on the market. They measure 64mm between the latch and deadbolt and 63mm from the spindle to the top of the gearbox. They also feature a groove above the spindle to aid in the fitment of handles with a screw above the lever.
SEA locks always feature a latch and deadbolt in the gearbox.
SEA gearboxes are attached to the faceplate with a set of rivets. These can be easily removed and replaced for gearbox swaps but makes SEA relatively unique (and therefore easier to identify) in the market. Please refer to our guide and video on how to replace a SEA gearbox for full details.
Please note that you may have encountered a really old SEA gearbox that is attached to the faceplate with screws, with a passivated yellow finish. The sticker on the side (red = key wind and blue = lift lever) will denote the operation of the lock. These locks were handed and are no longer available.
Operation: Lift lever or split spindle
Latch reversal: Push in latch and a screw will appear in the back of the lockcase. Undo the screw to remove the latch. Reverse, reinsert and replace the screw.
Nightlatch reversal: The small rectangular slot adjacent to side of the spindle hole contains a hollow black roll pin. Insert a flat bladed screwdriver and push the pin to opposite side to reverse function.
SEA cases are held on by pin rivets which are on the side of the case(1 top 1 bottom) – to remove simply knock the pins out with a punch, the originals can usually be re-used however we do sell replacement pin rivets should you require.

Swiftframe Latch and Deadbolt Multipoint Gearbox – Lift Lever or Double Spindle

Swiftframe Latch and Deadbolt Multipoint Gearbox – Lift Lever or Double Spindle
This Swiftframe gearbox features a double spindle with 92/70mm centres. Fixing points are not threaded and will require the use of self-tapping screws. (Part Number: M430CSK)

N.B Some older locks feature an offset or cranked connector. This is only an issue when replacing a gearbox, rather than a full-length lock, but it’s an important point to consider. Replacement gearboxes are now only available with inline connectors. They are still compatible with older locks but it will be necessary to adapt the drive gear that runs behind the faceplate. Follow our technical guide on the process, but there is a square hole in the drive gear that needs to be cut to create a slot to ensure that the lock works.
Operation: Lift lever or double spindle
Latch reversal: Undo the screw in the side of the lock case to remove the latch, reverse, reinsert, and replace the screw.

Origin Multipoint Gearbox – Lift lever or Double Spindle

Origin Multipoint Gearbox – Lift lever or Double Spindle
Origin Multipoint Gearbox.
Origin gearboxes have a distinctive double spindle arrangement with centres at 62mm and 92mm. Both followers are unsprung so we’d recommend the use of sprung door furniture. The top corner of the gearbox is also cut out.
The overall height is 230mm and they are fixed to the faceplate with 3 screw holes. The top screw hole to the middle screw hole is 110mm and the middle to the bottom is 108mm.
Both the hook and the latch (which features a screw) are 30mm high and the distance between them is 75mm.
When measuring the backset, allow 2-3mm for the faceplate, so a 35mm backset gearbox will measure 32mm when not fixed to the strip.
Origin multipoint door gearboxes feature a small, plastic snib on the faceplate. This can be used to hold the latch back for convenience and to prevent accidental lock-outs.
Origin gearboxes do bear a resemblance to the Fullex XL series (which are also 230mm), so to double check, we recommend comparing the hook boxes against the pictures as they are distinct.
