Multipoint lock, how to change throw direction?

banie01 · 13-02-2025 07:23PM #1

Folks,

The gearbox on my Front Door lock has slowly died a death over the last few months before finally failing yesterday.

I picked up a new gearbox today and fitted it handily enough. I did need to reverse the latch on it but I need to get the gearbox set up to allow it to lock on close.

Currently, the door can be opened from the outside if not locked with a key. I want the gearbox set up to allow the door to lock on close. The new lock came with directions on a sticker, but they aren't the clearest.

Any tips on how to adjust will be very greatly appreciated.

Van you turn it upside down?

Not an option, it needs to fit with existing hardware and cut outs.

If you google the number on the 2nd from bottom on the left it lists few companies and one say's the below if any use.

GU Secury Europa Lever Operated Latch & Deadbolt Single Spindle Lock Mechanism- 4 Roller cam 35/92 reference no: 6-32258-20-0-1

The GU Secury Europa is a lever operated single spindle multipoint lock mechanism latch and deadbolt that works with a Euro profile lock case, it has a 35mm backset, with 92mm centres, this deadbolt has a 16mm wide faceplate and it has 4 rollers. This mechanism operates like most Irish mechanisms, you lift and turn the key to lock, and turn anticlockwise to open then push the handle down.

To answer my own question.

On the lock model in question, you need to push a 4mm Allen key through the black plastic fitting at the rear of the night latch and turn through 180⁰.

This changes the throw direction/handedness of lock mechanism from left to right.

Answers are always good even if it seems a bit odd to be answering your own ;-)

A habit I try and cultivate tbh, is. If I ask a question on a forum and I find an answer, be it via someone's advice or my own fiddling, is to come back and confirm it on the thread. I find it's always a handy rejoinder.
