Information
Avocet gearboxes are unique. They measure 218mm high x backset + 15mm. It’s the large cut-out in the top corner, that extends to below the latch, that makes them stand out. This cut-out assists with the fitment of handles where the screws are above the lever.
Avocet gearboxes feature a latch that is 29mm high, a deadbolt that is 34mm high, and 82mm between the top of the deadbolt and the bottom of the latch.
When measuring the backset, allow 2-3mm for the faceplate, so a 35mm backset gearbox will measure 32mm when not fixed to the strip.
We stock a range of associated products for Avocet gearboxes, including multipoint door locks, keeps, spindles, handles, and accessories.
