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.

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
1. Unlock the system by turning the key.

Roto Elite Latch Deadbolt 2 Hooks 4 Rollers Double Spindle Multipoint Door Lock – Shootbolt Compatible
Quick ViewDoor Locks, Multipoint, Multipoint & UPVCRoto Elite Latch Deadbolt 2 Hooks 4 Rollers Double Spindle Multipoint Door Lock – Shootbolt Compatible
0 out of 5(0)This Elite Standard multipoint door lock features 4 Rollers, 2 Hooks, 1 Deadbolt & 1 Latch.
This Elite multipoint lock is a direct replacement for some of the old Roto locks.
Available with a useful one piece keep it provides a solution to replace hard to find or discontinued locks.
Elite multipoint door locks cover a wide range of different applications. They 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. This gearbox features a slot and a small hole below the slot appearing above the top spindle which is a piercing for bolt through handles.
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.
Many Elite locks are available in standard and compact versions designed for shorter doors. They feature the same 950mm handle height but a shorter overall length of 1810mm.
Elite gearboxes are available as a 35mm single spindle lock or with a 35mm or 45mm double spindle. 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 hooks can throw in either opposite directions, or upwards, depending on the model. They feature the same Silbear coating as the rest of the lock, which offers up to 480 hours salt spray testing.
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.
Elite rollers are normally adjustable by +/- 1.2mm to help achieve optimum weather sealing.

Fuhr 856 Type 8 Latch Deadbolt 2 Rollers 2 Pins Lift Lever Multipoint Door Lock
Quick ViewDoor Locks, Multipoint, Multipoint & UPVCFuhr 856 Type 8 Latch Deadbolt 2 Rollers 2 Pins Lift Lever Multipoint Door Lock
0 out of 5(0)This Fuhr 856 – Lift Lever multipoint door lock features 2 Rollers2 Pin Bolts, 1 Deadbolt & 1 Latch.
Fuhr 856 series multipoint door locks are most commonly fitted to UPVC doors but suit all door types. These UPVC door locks feature a solid spindle, lift lever (Fuhr call it lever operated) function, where the handle must be lifted to engage the locking points.
Fuhr UPVC door locks are available in a range of different versions, all of which start life as the same platform. Hooks, rollers and other locking points may be in different positions, but the locks are otherwise the same.
Identifying a Fuhr lock is easiest once it has been removed from the door. The gearbox is distinctive and once you’ve seen one Fuhr lock, you’ll be sure to recognise another. Its worth noting that there are some subtle differences between the 856 (lift lever), 859 (split spindle) and 855 (keywind) multipoint door lock gearboxes, but they are all recognisable as made by Fuhr. Almost all Fuhr locks will have the name stamped on the faceplate, but a reliable way to identify the lock is the triangular shape at the top of the gearbox, adjacent to where the top fixing screw connects to the faceplate.
Fuhr multipoint door lock gearboxes feature a deadbolt which throws 20mm, except on 25mm and 30mm backset locks, where it throws 14mm. The gearbox measures 220mm x width + 18mm. The latch and deadbolt are both 31mm high and there is 61mm between the bottom of the latch and the top of the deadbolt. Gearboxes are fixed to faceplates with 3 screws. The distance from the top screw to the middle screw is 91mm and the distance from the middle to bottom screw is 108mm.
Fuhr locks feature a ball bearing and spring pre-fitted. There is a tiny notch on the sliding internal strip that the ball bearing engages (under spring tension) and give a more positive locking feel when handle operated. If you try a lock without this spring and ball bearing fitted, you’ll notice the difference. Some replacement gearboxes on the market are sold without the ball bearing and spring, but all of our replacement Fuhr gearboxes come with these pre-fitted for a direct swap.
When replacing an existing Fuhr multipoint lock or gearbox, you may find that the latch differs. This can cause problems when the latch locates in the keep. Old versions of Fuhr multipoint lock gearboxes had a latch that was 28mm high, whereas newer versions are 33mm high. If the latch on the old lock is not damaged, it is possible to remove it by undoing the allen key bolt in the old gearbox, removing it and re-using it in the new lock.
You should also look out for 30mm gearboxes fitted to bifold doors (particularly, Smarts Aluminium doors). These gearboxes do not interchange with the standard 856 gearbox.
Fuhr pin bolts (Fuhr call them round deadbolts) fire 20mm from the pin bolt cases into the keeps. The cases measure 130mm high, x 40mm wide x 15mm thick, so they are marginally smaller than the equivalent hook cases. Pin bolts do not meet the requirements of Secured by Design are required to be met, you should swap to hooks.
Roller cams on Fuhr UPVC door locks travel 19mm with a roller cam adjustment of +/- 0.8mm.

GU Europa Compact Latch Deadbolt 4 Rollers Lift Lever Multipoint Door Lock
Quick ViewDoor Locks, Multipoint, Multipoint & UPVCGU Europa Compact Latch Deadbolt 4 Rollers Lift Lever Multipoint Door Lock
0 out of 5(0)This GU Europa multipoint door lock features 4 Rollers, 1 Deadbolt & 1 Latch.
A shorter (1765mm long) version of the ubiquitous 4 roller lock from GU at a cheaper price.
The GU range of multipoint door locks is called “SECURY” and the lever and split spindle operated versions are called “Europa”. GU Secury Europa locks are available as either a lift lever or split spindle nightlatch operation. They feature a number of different locking points, but the configurations are the same, to assist when doors are being manufactured. You may find that some suppliers refer to GU locks as “Ferco” or “GU Ferco”, as that is how they have been historically named. We refer to 92mm PZ locks using the modern name, “GU” while older 70mm PZ locks are called “Ferco”.
Identifying a GU lock is straightforward as GU stamp their logo on the faceplate of their locks. However, if you have an old door to repair, the GU lock may be the old, original style, rather than the new version.
Over a decade ago, GU significantly revised their range of multipoint locks, moving from the old to new style. Once the lock is removed from the door, if you see that you have an old style lock case (with the top corner cut out) then you may be able to repair the lock using a replacement gearbox. However, if you need a replacement lock (for example, if you require split spindle operation, as that functionality is not available on old style replacement gearboxes), it is possible to replace an old GU multipoint lock with the new version. You may find that the centre deadbolt and latch keep need readjusting to accommodate the new lock, but its a simple task.
Most locking point positions will still line up but some adjustment may be required. Early GU locks featured deadbolts that are much thinner than the versions produced today. When replacing new for old, and retaining the existing keeps, you may find that the new, thicker, deadbolts foul the original keeps. We’d recommend changing the keeps to updated versions, designed to accept the new locking points.
GU make their Europa range of door locks with hooks, deadbolts and/or rollers. Locks with rollers feature inbound (i.e. the rollers are closer to the gearbox than the additional locking hook) or outbound rollers (where the rollers are outside of the additional hook lock). This means that some locks may have the same configuration but different measurements. You can double check the description of the products for these measurements to be sure that you have the correct product.
In 1979, Gretsch-Unitas presented the GU-SECURY multi-point locking system with roller cams for doors at the Deubau Trade Fair in Essen, Germany, and launched it on the market. In the years that followed the versions with pin bolt and SH bolt were developed. In 1996, GU created the first self-locking multi-point locking system for doors with GU-SECURY Automatic.
New style GU gearboxes are available in a variety of different operations and one of the biggest ranges of backsets on the market. They are available in 28mm, 35mm, 40mm, 45mm and 55mm backsets with lift lever function, 35mm and 45mm with split spindle function and 35mm only with the Europa Plus fast locking function.
New style GU locks can be differentiated from their old style equivalents by the shape at the top of the gearbox. Old style locks have the top corner removed, whereas new versions feature a vertical groove to help with bolts for handles. The two gearboxes are not compatible, so a new style gearbox will not fit on an old style multipoint lock.
GU multipoint lock gearboxes feature a latch and deadbolt and measure 191mm high (excluding the fixing lugs) by the backset + 16mm wide. The latch is 32mm high, the deadbolt measures 35mm high and there is 54mm from the bottom of the latch to the top of the deadbolt.
GU gearboxes are fixed to their faceplates with 3 screws. The distance from the top to the middle screw is 108mm, while the middle screw to bottom screw is 92mm.
Always allow 2mm when measuring your backset and the faceplate is still attached to the gearbox.
GU refer to their additional locking deadbolts as “MR”. The GU-SECURY MR system provides a multi-point lock which is protected from being sawn through or forced back.
Deadbolts are chamfered to help pull the door closer to the frame for compression.
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.

Ingenious Duplex Latch 5 Hooks Double Spindle Multipoint Door Lock
Quick ViewDoor Locks, Multipoint, Multipoint & UPVCIngenious Duplex Latch 5 Hooks Double Spindle Multipoint Door Lock
0 out of 5(0)This Ingenious Duplex multipoint door lock features 5 Hooks & 1 Latch.
These locks are designed for use on composite doors and feature a 20mm faceplate.
Identifying an Ingenious lock is relatively straightforward, but there are a few pitfalls. If your lock is still in the door, it’ll likely have the brand stamped on the faceplate. Some models also have the Secured By Design logo stamped on the faceplate too. You can double check by looking for a small black snib below the latch. Other manufacturers, such as ERA and Kenrick, also feature a holdback snib on the latch, so the snib isn’t a guarantee. All Ingenious locks feature a central hook that throws downward, rather than a deadbolt.
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.
Ingenious 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.
Ingenious 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.
Ingenious 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.
Ingenious locks feature a couple of different hook locking arrangements.
The first is a standard hook which normally throw upwards, regardless of whether the hook is at the top or the bottom of the door.
The second type of hook is the Duplex, which is higher security. Duplex locks feature a pair of cast zinc hooks that throw towards each other and resemble crab claws. The Duplex locks feature a larger hook case than the standard hooks, so if you are upgrading and the routing on the door is tight, the hook box holes may need to be enlarged.

0 out of 5(0)This Lockmaster Key Turn multipoint door lock features 2 Hooks, 1 Deadbolt, 1 Latch & 2 Anti Lift Bolts.
The Yale Lockmaster Key Turn lock is a new lock, which is designed to be used on contemporary doors. They feature a key wind mechanism that allows the door to be closed with a key being required to retract the latch.
These locks are suitable for both timber and composite doors and are available as a Classic, with the main gearbox in the middle of the door, and Heritage, where the main gearbox is situated at the height of a traditional timber door night latch.
These locks will commonly be fitted with contemporary pull handles, rather than lever on plate multipoint lock handles.
Yale Lockmaster Key Turn gearboxes look quite different to regular Lockmaster gearboxes with the corner of the lock removed.
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.
Lockmaster locks can be found with normal hooks or hooks with an anti lift pin directly below them. Hooks always throw upwards and the hook cases measure 136mm high.

Quick ViewDoor Locks, Multipoint, Multipoint & UPVCMillenco Mantis 2 Latch 3 Hooks 2 Deadbolts 2 Rollers Double Spindle Multipoint Door Lock
0 out of 5(0)This Millenco Mantis 2 multipoint door lock features 2 Rollers, 3 Hooks, 2 Deadbolts & 1 Latch.
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.

Winkhaus AV2 Latch Only 2 Hooks Multipoint Door Lock – Autolocking
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.

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.

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.
We stock a range of associated products for Avocet multipoint door locks, including keeps, spindles, handles and accessories.
Latch Reversal: Not applicable as this passive door lock is unhanded and does not feature a latch.
You may find this lock used as an UPVC door lock, an aluminium door lock, a timber multipoint door lock or a composite door lock .

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.
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. This is dependent on the rollers being engaged into their keeps.

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.

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.
