MULTIPOINT LOCKS FOR UPVC, TIMBER AND COMPOSITE DOORS
Multipoint locks span the entire height of a door’s edge and provide exceptional security by engaging multiple locking points – such as hooks, rollers, deadbolts, or pins. These mechanisms distribute the load of forced entry attempts more effectively than traditional single-point or mortice locks. Modern multipoint locks are commonly found on UPVC, composite, and timber doors, offering benefits that include better draught proofing, enhanced security, and greater convenience.
At Duffells, we supply a vast array of multi-point locks compatible with various door materials and configurations. Whether you need a replacement multipoint lock for a front door, a nightlatch locking variant for enhanced convenience, or a double-spindle system for added external security, our trade-only approach guarantees you gain access to specialised knowledge and rapid dispatch. For over six decades, we have supported installers, locksmiths, and contractors with premium locks, cylinders, and door hardware – helping them complete jobs on time and to the highest standard.
FUNDAMENTALS OF MULTIPOINT LOCKS
DEFINING A MULTIPOINT LOCK
A multi-point locking system consists of a central mechanism (the gearbox) and a series of additional locking points arranged vertically along the door’s faceplate. These additional locking points increase security at multiple points, typically near the top, centre, and bottom of the door edge. Depending on the model, those points may be hooks, rollers, deadbolts, or a combination, all controlled via the same central gearbox.
Multipoint locks can be activated in different ways, often by lifting the handle or turning the key, each locking point engages simultaneously, securing the door more effectively than a single-point system. These locks are commonly used on UPVC, composite, and timber doors. Many insurance companies and homeowners prefer multi-point locks for exterior doors because of their superior anti-intrusion performance.
FACEPLATE AND LOCKING POINTS
The faceplate is the long metal strip running vertically along the door edge. Its width and style can differ:
Rounded/Radius Ends: Sometimes found on specific composite or timber configurations.
U-Track Faceplate: A channel-shaped design that fits into particular door profiles.
Flat Faceplate: Common on many UPVC door profiles
Several types of locking points can be spaced out along the faceplate:
Hooks: Offer excellent anti-separation strength.
Rollers: Improve weather sealing and compression
Deadbolts: Deliver robust vertical or horizontal locking.
Pins and Wedges: Additional features for advanced security.
The more locking points a multipoint lock has, the tougher it is to force the door open.
GEARBOX FUNCTION
At the heart of every multipoint lock is the centre gearbox. It typically contains:
A Latch: Retracts when the handle is pressed.
A Deadbolt or Hook: Extends to lock the door when lifted-lever or key-wind operations are performed.
Some gearboxes include more than one deadbolt or incorporate hooks instead of a traditional deadbolt. If the gearbox fails, you can often replace it independently – refer to our dedicated Multipoint Lock Gearboxes page.
A key measurement to identify in the gearbox is the backset. This is the measurement from the front of the faceplate to the centre of the euro keyway cut out..
Another key measurement to identify in the gearbox is the Centres measurement often referred to as the PZ. This is the measurement from the centre of the euro cut out to the centre of the spindle hole.
MATCHING MULTIPOINT LOCKS TO DOORS AND BRANDS
MATERIALS: UPVC, COMPOSITE, AND TIMBER
UPVC Multi-point Locks: Common in modern residences, often requiring roller or hook mechanisms for proper security and sealing.
Composite Door Multi-point Locks: Similar design to UPVC but may require a different faceplate width or shape.
Timber Multi-point Locks: Used on wooden doors and typically have a wider or adjusted faceplate to suit the thicker material.
When selecting a replacement multipoint lock it is fundamental that you select an option with the correct manufacturer, backset, centres, gearbox height, operation, faceplate width, locking points, and distance between locking points.
BRAND RANGE AND COMPATIBILITY
We offer multipoint locks from leading names, each with unique configurations:
Avocet
ERA
GU
Lockmaster
Maco
Millenco
Winkhaus
Yale
Fuhr
Fullex
KFV
Mila
Sobinco
Kenrick
…and many more.
Each brand supports multiple locking configurations (hooks, deadbolts, rollers etc), handle operations (lift-lever, key-wind, auto-locking, etc), and faceplate sizes. Checking the existing lock’s brand or faceplate markings ensures a smooth swap. If a specific brand or model is discontinued, we often stock a compatible replacement lock or a matching gearbox.
TYPES OF MULTIPOINT LOCK OPERATIONS
Several locking operations provide different levels of security and convenience:
Lift Lever: Raise the handle to engage all locking points, then turn the key to deadlock.
Nightlatch Locking: The latch automatically locks when the door is closed; handle-lifting secures extra locking points.
Keywind: Turning the key actuates the locking points, often requiring two full rotations.
Fast Locking: Locks engage simply by lifting the handle – no key turn is required to secure it.
Automatic Locking: Closing the door triggers auto-engagement of all locking points, with a key needed to fully deadlock
