Step by step guide to identifying a Multipoint Door Lock and window espagnolette NEW COUNTY GLAZING Tel 01724 281884 NEW COUNTY GLAZING Step by step guide to identifying a Multipoint Door Lock 1 - Open the door and look for a name printed into the metal plate running down the side of the door. The printed name is the brand of multipoint lock. 2 - If there isn't a name or letters on the strip then remove the multipoint lock from the door. With the lock removed, note the shape of the central body of the lock and match its shape with Types of Locking Point: (note that many locks have more than one type) Hook Deadbolt Roller Cam Mushroom Cam Finger Bolt TEL 01724 281884 Centre Latch Anti Lift Pin & Hook 4 - If there are hooks or deadbolts top and bottom then you need to measure the distance between them in millimetres (see technical drawing below). You can then compare that measurement to the measurements given for each door lock. 5 - Check the locking operation of your old lock. Ideally you need the same locking operation to avoid compatibility issues with the handle set. There are 3 main types of locking operation : Lever lever, Lever Pad and Key operated (wind up): •Lever lever is when the door handle has to be lifted to engage the locks then turn the key once to lock. •Lever Pad is the same as lever lever but a key must be used to gain access from outside even when the door is unlocked. •Wind up is when the door key has to be turned several times to engage all the locks, the handle is not used to lock the door.

There are many different makes of espagnolette multi point upvc window locks but they are interchangeable as long as they are of the same backset, rail length, rail width, cam height and still offset or still inline. If a different make is used but they are otherwise very similar then it is likely that the keeps will need to be re-positioned due to the cams being in a different position on the rail. On occasions the hole for the gearbox in the window frame may need to be enlarged when using a different brand but it is rare. Note: Most types of espagnolette multipoint upvc window locks have adjustable mushroom cams. These can be adjusted using an allen key or sometimes a flat headed screwdriver to increase compression on a slack window (symptom: handle goes into closed position too easily) or decrease window compression on an over tight window (symptom: handle has to be forced into closed position).
