Timber/Composite Affinity Bastion Latch Deadbolt 4 Hooks Double Spindle Multipoint Door Lock

Product Overview: Avocet Multipoint Door Lock

The Avocet multipoint door lock is a robust security solution featuring 4 hooks, 1 deadbolt, and 1 latch, designed to provide enhanced protection for your home.

Identification Features

Once removed from the door, Avocet locks are easily identifiable. Look for faceplates stamped with the Avocet logo or the older "WMS" logo. The unique gearbox shape, with a cutout extending below the latch, is a key identifier for these multipoint locks.

Replacement Options

If you're looking for replacements, please reach out to us for assistance. Notable exceptions in the range include the 2 roller and 2 mushroom locks, as well as a shorter version of the 3 deadbolt lock designed for caravans.

Sash Lifter Device

Some Avocet locks included a "sash lifter" device for improved alignment, but these are no longer available. We recommend opting for the standard version for replacements.

Backset Measurements

Most Avocet locks are designed with a 35mm backset, while the Affinity Bastion lock, suitable for composite doors, features a 45mm backset.

Lock Functionality

Current Avocet locks are available in a double spindle nightlatch configuration, with centers at 62mm and 92mm. If nightlatch functionality isn't needed, the lock can still function as a lift lever version using the top spindle.

Gearbox Specifications

Avocet gearboxes measure 218mm high plus the backset (add 15mm). The unique cutout in the top corner assists with handle fitment. The latch measures 29mm high, while the deadbolt is 34mm high, with an 82mm distance between them.

Measuring Guidelines

To ensure accurate measurements for your Avocet multipoint door lock, follow these guidelines:

Backset Measurement
To measure the backset, take a ruler and measure the distance from the edge of the door to the center of the lock cylinder. This measurement is crucial for ensuring a proper fit.

Centres Measurement
For measuring the centres (PZ), measure the distance between the center of the keyhole and the center of the handle hole. This will help you select the correct configuration for your lock.

Faceplate Measurement
To measure the faceplate, measure the width and height of the area where the lock will be installed. This ensures that the faceplate fits snugly against the door.

By following these steps, you can ensure that your Avocet lock installation is seamless and secure.
