New-style GU Key Wind gearboxes are available in a variety of different operations and are one of the biggest ranges of backsets on the market. They are available in 35mm, 45mm, 55mm, and 65mm backsets.<\/p>\n
New-style GU locks can be differentiated from their old-style equivalents by the shape at the top of the gearbox. Old-style locks have the top corner removed, whereas new versions feature a vertical groove to help with bolts for handles. The two gearboxes are not compatible, so a new-style gearbox will not fit on an old-style multipoint lock.<\/p>\n
GU multipoint lock gearboxes feature a latch and deadbolt and measure 191mm high (excluding the fixing lugs) by the backset + 16mm wide. The latch is 32mm high, the deadbolt measures 35mm high and there is 54mm from the bottom of the latch to the top of the deadbolt.<\/p>\n
GU gearboxes are fixed to their faceplates with 3 screws. The distance from the top to the middle screw is 108mm, while the middle screw to the bottom screw is 92mm.<\/p>\n
Always allow 2mm when measuring your backset and the faceplate is still attached to the gearbox.<\/p>\n
