Latch Deadbolt 2 Rollers Bottom Shootbolt Lift Lever 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 rollers, 1 deadbolt, and 1 latch. This lock is part of the GU "SECURY" range, known for its reliability and innovative design.

Key Features:

• Roller Mechanism: The lock includes rollers equipped with a bottom shootbolt and serrations, allowing for the attachment of a top shootbolt, enhancing its locking capabilities.
• Versatile Operation: Available in both lift lever and split spindle nightlatch operations, the GU Europa locks cater to various user preferences and door designs.
• Identification: GU locks are easily identifiable by the logo stamped on the faceplate. For older doors, be aware that the lock may be of the original style, which differs from the current design.

Compatibility and Replacement:

• Old vs. New Style: GU has transitioned from an old style to a new style of multipoint locks. 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, though some adjustments to the deadbolt and latch keep may be necessary.
• Locking Point Alignment: Most locking points will align with existing keeps, but adjustments may be needed, especially if the new deadbolts are thicker than the originals.

Technical Specifications:

• Gearbox Dimensions: GU multipoint lock gearboxes measure 191mm high (excluding fixing lugs) and vary in width based on the backset, which can range from 28mm to 55mm.
• Screw Fixation: The gearboxes are secured to their faceplates with three screws, with specific measurements for screw placement to ensure proper installation.

Security Features:

• MR System: GU refers to their additional locking deadbolts as "MR," providing enhanced security against forced entry.
• Compression Rollers: The rollers serve to compress the door against the frame, aiding in weather sealing and preventing warping, although they primarily focus on maintaining door integrity rather than security.

Operating Instructions:

• To Lock:
  • Lift the handle to engage the locking points.
  • Turn the key to secure the locking points and main deadbolt.
• To Unlock:
  • Turn the key to unlock the system.
  • Push the handle down to disengage the locking points and retract the latch.

The GU Europa multipoint door lock combines advanced security features with user-friendly operation, making it an excellent choice for both residential and commercial applications.

Measuring 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 in your door.

Centres PZ Measurement: To measure the centres (PZ), measure the distance from the center of the keyhole to the center of the handle hole. This ensures that the lock aligns correctly with the handle and key mechanism.

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

Operation Type: The operation type refers to how the lock is engaged and disengaged. Options may include lift lever, split spindle, or other mechanisms. Ensure to choose the one that best fits your door's design and your preference.
