Product Overview: ERA Hookbolt Multipoint Door Lock

The ERA Hookbolt multipoint door lock is engineered for security and reliability, featuring a robust design with 4 rollers, 3 hooks, and 1 latch. This lock is a popular choice in the UK market, known for its versatility and ease of installation.

Brand Identification

ERA locks may be stamped with various brand names, including Homesafe, Surelock, Saracen, Spartan, Duraflex, Supa, Westward, or Cego. It's essential to recognize that many companies rebrand ERA locks, which can lead to confusion. Look for the ERA logo on the faceplate, but be aware that some brands may have different markings.

Key Features

• Holdback Snib: The holdback snib color can indicate the lock type—grey for deadbolt and hook bolt locks, blue for Vectis locks. Note that some brands may use black or green snibs.
• Split Spindle Mechanism: This feature simplifies replacements, focusing on one locking function, except for the auto-locking SureFire locks.
• Distinctive Gearbox Design: The ERA multipoint door lock gearboxes are square with no corner cutouts, measuring 221mm in length. They come in 30mm, 35mm, or 45mm backsets, all sharing the same dimensions.

Locking Mechanism

ERA multipoint locks utilize two hook locking arrangements:

• Standard Hook: Ideal for tight routing situations, featuring one of the smallest hook cases available.
• Security Steel Hook: A larger hook case that may require modifications to the door for installation.

Both hooks are bi-directional, enhancing security by throwing the top hook upwards and the bottom hook downwards.

Rollers and Compression

Rollers play a crucial role in compressing the door against the frame, preventing dust and water ingress while supporting the door's structure. They are adjustable by +/- 1mm for optimal weather sealing.

Operation Instructions

To lock the door:

1. Lift the handle upwards to engage the locking points.
2. Turn the key to secure the locking points and main deadbolt (if applicable).

To unlock the door:

1. Turn the key to unlock the system.
2. Push the handle downwards to disengage the locking points and retract the latch.

Measuring Guidelines

To ensure accurate measurements for your ERA Hookbolt 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 measurement is crucial for ensuring the lock fits properly.

Centres PZ Measurement
For the PZ measurement, measure the distance from the center of the keyhole to the center of the handle hole. This will help you select the correct lock that aligns with your door's existing holes.

Faceplate Measurement
To measure the faceplate, measure the width and height of the existing faceplate on your door. This will ensure that the new lock's faceplate fits seamlessly into the door frame.

By following these measuring guidelines, you can confidently select the right specifications for your ERA Hookbolt multipoint door lock installation.
