Duplex Latch 5 Hook 2 Roller Double Spindle Multipoint Door Lock (top hook to spindle = 733mm)

Product Overview: Ingenious Duplex Multipoint Door Lock

The Ingenious Duplex multipoint door lock is designed for enhanced security and ease of use, featuring 2 rollers, 5 hooks, and 1 latch. This lock is ideal for homeowners seeking a reliable and robust locking mechanism.

Identifying Your Ingenious Lock

Identifying an Ingenious lock is straightforward. Look for the brand stamped on the faceplate, and check for the Secured By Design logo. If the lock is still installed, a small black snib below the latch can help confirm its identity. However, be aware that other brands like ERA and Kenrick may also have similar features. All Ingenious locks are characterized by a central hook that throws downward, distinguishing them from deadbolts.

For the most accurate identification, we recommend removing the multipoint lock from the door, especially if the brand is not visible or if it has been rebranded.

Gearbox Specifications

Ingenious gearboxes feature a unique double spindle arrangement with centers at 62mm and 92mm. Both followers are unsprung, so using sprung door furniture is advisable. The top corner of the gearbox is cut out for easy installation.

• Overall Height: 230mm
• Screw Hole Measurements:
  • Top to Middle: 110mm
  • Middle to Bottom: 108mm

The hook and latch are both 30mm high, with a distance of 75mm between them. When measuring the backset, remember to allow 2-3mm for the faceplate; thus, a 35mm backset gearbox will measure 32mm when not fixed to the strip.

Locking Mechanism Features

Ingenious multipoint door gearboxes include a small plastic snib on the faceplate, which can hold the latch back for convenience and prevent accidental lockouts.

Hook Locking Arrangements

Ingenious locks come with two types of hook arrangements:

1. Standard Hook: Typically throws upwards, regardless of its position on the door.

2. Duplex Hook: Offers higher security with a pair of cast zinc hooks that throw towards each other, resembling crab claws. The Duplex locks have a larger hook case than standard hooks, so if you're upgrading, ensure the routing on the door can accommodate this.

Rollers and Their Functionality

Rollers are essential for compression, pulling the door against the frame to prevent dust and water ingress. While they do not significantly enhance security, they help prevent warping by supporting the door's full height. Ensure the rollers are engaged in their keeps for optimal performance. They are typically adjustable by 1-2mm for the best weather sealing.

Operating the Lock

To Lock the Door:

1. Close the door to automatically engage the latch.
2. Lift the handle to engage the locking points.
3. Turn the key to lock the system.

To Unlock the Door:

1. Turn the key to unlock the system.
2. Push the handle down to disengage the locking points.
3. A further quarter turn of the key will retract the latch.

This Ingenious Duplex multipoint door lock combines security and functionality, making it a top choice for safeguarding your home.
