Different types of multipoint locks
Multipoint locking systems are made up of multiple locking points (a minimum of three individual locking points) that each engage concurrently using a key, securing your door at multiple points. Using pins, hook bolts and roller cams, this locking mechanism is the go-to choice for external use, reinforcing the door and making forced entry extremely difficult. Both domestic and commercial properties frequently feature some sort of multipoint lock, so understanding the different types is important.
To help you identify your UPVC door lock multipoint system, it is important that you first identify the brand of your lock, followed by the backset and centre measurements. Next, make a note of which type of locking points you already have, and the order they sit in. The centre latch, hooks, deadbolts, and roller cams are all common types of locking points, though most multipoint locks will contain more than one type.
Finish by measuring the distance from each locking point to the centre spindle, as well as measuring the width of the faceplate in millimetres and checking whether it is a flat plate or U-rail.
