Brand Identification

Design and Mechanism

Most models feature a split spindle mechanism, simplifying replacements by focusing on a single locking function. Note that this does not apply to SureFire locks or specific automatic locking models.

Gearbox Specifications

ERA gearboxes are distinctive with a square design and no corner cutouts. They come in 30mm, 35mm, or 45mm backsets, maintaining consistent dimensions across all models. The gearboxes can accommodate various locking mechanisms, including classic deadbolts and hook bolts, with the British Standard Fortress gearbox offering enhanced security features.

Installation and Measurement

For accurate identification, it's advisable to remove the multipoint lock from the door. The gearbox is secured to the faceplate with four screws, with specific measurements between screw holes that are crucial for installation. When measuring the backset, remember to account for the faceplate thickness.

• To Lock: Lift the handle to engage the locking points, then turn the key to secure the deadbolt.
