Vectis Genuine Multipoint Gearbox – Lift Lever or Split Spindle

This ERA Vectis deadbolt genuine gearbox features a split spindle, has 95mm centres, and is available with either a 35mm or 45mm backset.

Vectis cases are interchangeable with any ERA multipoint lock and allow for mortice locking on multipoint locks. Supplied with 3 keys and can be keyed alike in-house (Genuine Key Blank: 611V).

ERA Vectis multipoint door lock gearboxes are very distinctive, with a square design and no corner cut-outs. The big give away is the UK key way, designed to accept a traditional mortice key. The overall length of the gearbox is 221mm and the width is the backset plus 18mm.

Available in 35mm or 45mm backsets only (regular ERA Gearboxes are also available in 30mm backset), all ERA gearboxes have the same dimensions. The 35mm backset comes with x3 long keys, the 45mm comes with x3 short keys.

They can feature a classic deadbolt with either a standard euro cut out, Invincible cylinder cut out or Vectis 5 lever mechanism. They can feature either a deadbolt or hook bolt (which throws upward). Look out for the British Standard Fortress invincible gearbox which features hardened drill plates.

With the exception of the British Standard Fortress lock, all ERA gearboxes can be interchanged, so if your client needs a hook lock, instead of a deadbolt or a Vectis locking multipoint door lock, contact us and we’ll build the lock to order.

ERA multipoint door lock gearboxes feature a 24mm high latch (with 2 distinctive screws in the latch), a 30mm high deadbolt and 61mm between them. Gearboxes are held onto the faceplate with 4 screws, which is unusual for a multipoint door lock. The first screw hole to the second measures 37mm, the second to the third measures 85mm and the third to the fourth screw measures 43mm.

When measuring the backset, allow 2-3mm for the faceplate, so a 35mm backset gearbox will measure 32mm when not fixed to the strip.

We stock a range of associated products for ERA Vectis Deadbolt gearboxes, including multipoint door locks, keeps, spindles, handles and accessories.

Note: The older design will look different but is still interchangeable with the new style.

Operation: Lift lever

Latch reversal: Undo the screw or screws (depending on the model) in the latch to remove. Reverse, reinsert and replace the screw(s).
