Product Overview: Ingenious Duplex Multipoint Door Lock

The Ingenious Duplex multipoint door lock is a robust security solution featuring 5 hooks and 1 latch, specifically designed for composite doors. With a 20mm faceplate, this lock ensures durability and reliability.

Identification Tips

Identifying an Ingenious lock is straightforward, but be cautious of potential pitfalls. If the lock remains installed, check for the brand stamped on the faceplate. Some models may also display the Secured By Design logo. Look for a small black snib below the latch for additional verification. However, note that other brands like ERA and Kenrick may also have similar features, so removing the lock from the door is advisable for accurate identification.

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 recommended 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 for precise installation.

Locking Mechanism

The Ingenious lock features a small plastic snib on the faceplate, allowing for convenient latch holding to prevent accidental lockouts. The design includes 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 hook case is larger, so ensure the routing on the door is adequate if upgrading.

1. Close the door to automatically engage 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 measurement is crucial for ensuring the lock fits properly within the door frame.

Centres PZ Measurement
For the PZ measurement, measure the distance between the center of the keyhole and the center of the handle. This will help you determine the correct positioning for both the locking mechanism and the handle.

Faceplate Measurement
To measure the faceplate, you should measure the width and height of the existing faceplate on your door. This ensures that the new lock will fit seamlessly into the existing cutout.

By following these measurement guidelines, you can ensure a perfect fit for your Ingenious Duplex multipoint door lock, enhancing both security and functionality.
