Identification Tips

Identifying an Ingenious lock is straightforward, but be cautious of common pitfalls. 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 authenticity.

Gearbox Specifications

Ingenious gearboxes are characterized by a unique double spindle arrangement with centers at 62mm and 92mm. Both followers are unsprung, so it’s advisable to use sprung door furniture. The gearbox measures 230mm in height and is secured to the faceplate with three screw holes, with specific measurements between the holes: 110mm from the top to the middle and 108mm from the middle to the bottom.

Locking Mechanism

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 different hook locking arrangements:

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

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 maintain the door's structural integrity. Rollers are adjustable by 1-2mm for optimal weather sealing.

Locking and Unlocking Instructions

• To lock the door:
  • Lift the handle upwards to engage the locking points.
  • Secure the locking points and main deadbolt (if applicable) by turning the key.
• To unlock the door:
  • Turn the key to unlock the system.
  • Push the handle downwards to disengage the locking points and retract the latch.

Measuring Guidelines

To ensure accurate measurements for your Ingenious Duplex multipoint door lock, follow these guidelines:

Backset Measurement: To measure the backset, take a ruler and measure the distance from the edge of the door to the center of the lock cylinder. This is crucial for ensuring the lock fits properly.

Centres PZ Measurement: The PZ measurement is the distance from the center of the keyhole to the center of the handle. Use a tape measure to get this distance accurately, as it affects the alignment of the lock components.

Faceplate Measurement: To measure the faceplate, you need to determine its width and length. Measure the width across the faceplate and the length from the top to the bottom. This ensures compatibility with your door.

By following these measurement tips, you can ensure that your Ingenious Duplex multipoint door lock is installed correctly and functions optimally.
