Lift Lever French Door Passive Lock - Shootbolt Compatible

Product Overview: Avocet Multipoint Door Lock

The Avocet multipoint door lock is specifically designed for the passive door in a pair of French doors, ensuring security and ease of use without locking points.

Key Features:

• Original Design: This lock includes attachments for shootbolts and is available in a Trivalent silver finish, with a stainless steel option available upon special request for harsher environments.
• Identification: Once removed from the door, Avocet locks are easily identifiable by their faceplates, typically stamped with the Avocet logo. Older models may feature the "WMS" logo. The unique gearbox shape, with a cut-out extending below the latch, aids in identification.
• Configurations: Originally, Avocet locks came in various configurations, including hooks, rollers, and deadbolts. Recent updates have transitioned to stainless steel or Trivalent silver finishes, phasing out older yellow passivated steel versions.
• Sash Lifter Device: Some models included a "sash lifter" for improved alignment, though these are no longer available. We recommend standard replacements for these locks.
• Backset Options: Most locks are designed with a 35mm backset, while the Affinity Bastion lock caters to composite doors with a 45mm backset.
• Lock Functionality: Current models feature a double spindle nightlatch configuration, with centers at 62mm and 92mm. If nightlatch functionality is unnecessary, the lock can still operate as a lift lever version.
• Compatibility: Avocet locks designed for PVCu with a flat 16mm faceplate can accept shootbolts, enhancing security options.

Technical Specifications:

• Gearbox Dimensions: 218mm high x backset + 15mm, with a distinctive large cut-out in the top corner for handle fitment.
• Latch and Deadbolt Measurements: The latch measures 29mm high, while the deadbolt is 34mm high, with an 82mm distance between them.
• Installation Notes: Gearboxes are secured by arms connected with circlips, rather than conventional screws or rivets. While gearbox removal is possible, we recommend replacing the entire unit for optimal performance.
• Backset Measurement: When measuring the backset, account for an additional 2-3mm for the faceplate. For instance, a 35mm backset gearbox will measure 32mm when detached from the strip.

  • Secure the locking points and main deadbolt (if applicable) by turning the key.
• To Unlock the Door:
