Latch 3 Hook 2 Roller Double Spindle Multipoint Door Lock (top hook to spindle = 710mm)

Product Overview: Ingenious Professional Multipoint Door Lock

The Ingenious Professional multipoint door lock is designed for enhanced security and convenience, featuring a robust configuration of 2 rollers, 3 hooks, and 1 latch. This lock is ideal for homeowners seeking reliable protection for their doors.

Identifying Your Ingenious Lock

Identifying an Ingenious lock is straightforward, but be mindful of a few common 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 located below the latch; however, note 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 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 are notable for their unique double spindle arrangement, with centers at 62mm and 92mm. Both followers are unsprung, so we advise using sprung door furniture for optimal performance. The top corner of the gearbox features a cut-out design.

• Overall Height: 230mm
• Screw Hole Configuration: Fixed with 3 screw holes
  • Top to Middle: 110mm
  • Middle to Bottom: 108mm

The hook and latch, each measuring 30mm in height, are spaced 75mm apart. When measuring the backset, remember to account for a 2-3mm allowance for the faceplate; thus, a 35mm backset gearbox will measure 32mm when detached from the strip.

Convenience Features

Ingenious multipoint door gearboxes include a small plastic snib on the faceplate, allowing you to hold the latch back for convenience and to avoid accidental lockouts.

Comparative Analysis

While Ingenious gearboxes may resemble the Fullex XL series (also 230mm), you can confirm authenticity by comparing the hook boxes against reference images, as they have distinct features.

Hook Locking Arrangements

Ingenious locks offer various hook locking arrangements:

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

2. Duplex Hook: A higher security option featuring dual cast zinc hooks that throw towards each other, resembling crab claws. The Duplex locks have a larger hook case, so if you're upgrading, ensure the routing on the door can accommodate this change.

Roller Functionality

Rollers serve to compress the door against the frame, minimizing dust and water ingress. While they do not significantly enhance security, they help prevent door warping by providing support across the full height of the door, contingent on the rollers being properly engaged in their keeps. Rollers are usually adjustable by 2mm for optimal weather sealing.

Operating Instructions

To Lock the Door:

1. Close the door to automatically engage the latch.
2. Lift the handle to engage the locking points.
3. Secure the system by turning the key.

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 multipoint door lock combines functionality with security, making it an excellent choice for any entryway.

For precise measurements, follow these guidelines:

How to Measure the Backset:
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.

How to Measure the Centres:
To measure the centres (PZ), measure the distance between the center of the keyhole and the center of the handle hole. This will help you select the correct lock configuration.

How to Measure the Faceplate:
To measure the faceplate, remove the lock from the door and measure the width and height of the faceplate. This ensures compatibility with your door frame.

These specifications ensure that the Ingenious multipoint door lock meets your security needs while providing ease of installation and operation.
