Identification Tips

Identifying an ERA Vectis multipoint door lock can be straightforward, but there are some key points to consider:

• Branding Variations: ERA manufactures locks for various door and window companies, leading to rebranding. While many faceplates bear the ERA logo, others may display different manufacturers' branding.
• Key Features: If your lock uses a 5 lever mortice lock key or has a UK keyhole, it is likely an ERA Vectis.
• Holdback Snib Color: The holdback snib on the faceplate is typically grey for deadbolt and hook bolt locks, and blue for Vectis locks. Be aware that some brands may have altered the snib color to black or green.
• Historical Context: ERA locks were previously known as Saracen, a name from when Laird produced locks for the double glazing industry.

Mechanism and Compatibility

All ERA Vectis multipoint locks feature a split spindle mechanism, simplifying replacements by focusing on one locking function. They share the same levers as the British Standard ERA Fortress mortice lock, allowing for key compatibility with traditional mortice locks.

• Dimensions: Gearbox length is 221mm, with a width determined by the backset plus 18mm.
• Backset Options: Available in 35mm or 45mm backsets, with regular ERA gearboxes also offered in a 30mm backset.
• Interchangeability: Most ERA gearboxes can be interchanged, allowing customization based on client needs.
