Latch Deadbolt 2 Large Hooks Split Spindle Multipoint Door Lock - Option 3 (top hook to spindle = 680mm)

Product Overview: ERA Deadbolt Multipoint Door Lock

The ERA Deadbolt multipoint door lock is engineered for security and reliability, featuring a robust design with 2 hooks, 1 deadbolt, and 1 latch. This lock is a popular choice in the UK, known for its versatility and ease of identification.

Key Features:

• Versatile Branding: ERA manufactures locks for various door and window companies, often rebranded. Look for the ERA logo on the faceplate, but be aware of other brands like Surelock, Saracen, and more.
• Identifying Characteristics: The holdback snib color can help identify the lock. Typically, it’s grey for deadbolt and hook bolt locks, and blue for Vectis locks, though some brands may vary.
• Split Spindle Mechanism: Most ERA multipoint locks utilize a split spindle mechanism, simplifying replacements by focusing on one locking function. Note that this does not apply to SureFire locks or specific automatic locking models.
• Distinctive Gearbox Design: ERA gearboxes are square with no corner cutouts, measuring 221mm in length. They come in 30mm, 35mm, or 45mm backsets, all maintaining the same dimensions.
• Interchangeable Gearboxes: With the exception of the British Standard Fortress lock and SureFire, ERA gearboxes can be interchanged. Custom orders are available for specific locking needs.
• High Security Hooks: The lock features two hook arrangements: a standard hook for tight spaces and a larger security steel hook for enhanced protection. Both hooks are bi-directional, providing superior security.
• Deadbolt Functionality: The deadbolt, or linear bolt, has an 18mm throw and is designed to pull the door tightly against the frame, ensuring a secure fit.
