The ERA 6135/9135 multipoint lock is a highly adaptable, lever-operated security solution specified in this 16mm-faceplate version for PVCu door preparations. This modular three-piece kit is engineered to serve as a versatile replacement for a wide range of existing multipoint systems.
The mechanism features a central latch and deadbolt gearbox alongside two adjustable rollers and two high-tensile steel mushrooms. The rollers are designed to ensure an effective weather seal by pulling the door tightly into the frame, while the mushrooms provide significant resistance against forced separation. For added security, the locking features utilise a bi-directional throw, providing an enhanced anti-jemmy function.
Technical versatility is a core feature of this unit. It includes croppable top and bottom extension pieces to accommodate different door apertures and a non-handed design with a reversible latch for easy installation on both left and right-handed doors. Furthermore, the split spindle gearbox allows the lock to be configured for use with standard lever/lever handles or lever/pad arrangements where entry is restricted to key holders.
Gearbox versions: 6135-2R2M-KIT is the Euro-cylinder version; 9135-2R2M-KIT is the Vectis Plus lever-key version. Vectis is not a Euro-cylinder lock. Use furniture matching the selected gearbox: ERA specifies standard 92mm unsprung handles for the Euro version or the appropriate Vectis Plus adaptor/handle. Compare the actual keyway and handle preparation rather than assuming one set fits both.
Fitting range: this 35mm-backset, 16mm-faceplate range has croppable extensions, with nominal overall length adjustable from 1421mm to 1985mm. The manufacturer lists upper mushroom reach of 283-565mm and lower mushroom reach of 338-620mm; use the datum and adjustment limits in the stored drawing. Cropping does not establish compatibility with every door; compare the centre case, existing apertures, locking-point positions and frame keeps before installation.
Supplied keeps: the manufacturer specifies adjustable keep plates and universal packers for the PVCu versions and a non-handed keep set for the timber/composite version. The fitting instructions require checking and fitting the replacement keeps, not assuming the original keeps can be retained.
