Europa Latch Deadbolt 2 Hooks 20mm Flat Faceplate Split Spindle Multipoint Door Lock

Product Overview: GU Europa Multipoint Door Lock

The GU Europa multipoint door lock is designed for enhanced security and functionality, featuring a robust configuration of 2 hooks, 1 deadbolt, and 1 latch. This lock is specifically crafted with a 20mm flat faceplate and is available in a 45mm backset, making it ideal for timber doors.

Key Features:

• SECURY Range: The GU multipoint door locks fall under the "SECURY" range, with the lever and split spindle operated versions branded as "Europa."
• Versatile Operation: Available in both lift lever and split spindle nightlatch operations, these locks provide flexibility for various door types.
• Identification: GU locks are easily identifiable by the logo stamped on the faceplate. Be mindful that older doors may have the original style locks, which differ from the current models.

Compatibility and Replacement:

• Old vs. New Style: GU has transitioned from old to new style locks over the past decade. If you have an old lock case (noted by a cut-out corner), you may repair it with a replacement gearbox. However, for a complete lock replacement, the new version can be installed with some adjustments to the deadbolt and latch keeps.
• Locking Points: Most locking point positions will align, but minor adjustments may be necessary, especially if the new deadbolts are thicker than the originals.

Lock Mechanism:

• Locking Points: The GU Europa locks utilize hooks, deadbolts, and rollers. Depending on the model, rollers may be inbound or outbound, affecting measurements and configurations.
• Gearbox Specifications: New style GU gearboxes are available in various operations and backsets, including 28mm, 35mm, 40mm, 45mm, and 55mm. The gearboxes are distinguished by their design, with new versions featuring a vertical groove.

Installation and Operation:

• Gearbox Dimensions: GU multipoint lock gearboxes measure 191mm high (excluding fixing lugs) and vary in width based on the backset.
• Locking Mechanism: To lock the door, lift the handle to engage the locking points, then turn the key. To unlock, turn the key and push the handle down to disengage.

Measuring Guidelines:

To ensure accurate measurements for your GU Europa multipoint door lock, follow these guidelines:

Backset Measurement:
To measure the backset, take a tape measure and measure the distance from the edge of the door to the center of the lock cylinder. This distance 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 hole. Use a ruler to measure this distance accurately to ensure compatibility with your door hardware.

Faceplate Measurement:
To measure the faceplate, remove the existing lock (if applicable) and measure the width and height of the faceplate. This will help you select the correct faceplate from the drop-down options.

Operation Types:
When selecting the operation type from the drop-down, consider whether you need a lift lever or split spindle operation based on your door's design and usage requirements.
