    Multipoint Door Lock FAQs

    Multipoint door locks became commonplace in the 1980’s when UPVC plastic conservatories and front doors were becoming a popular choice for residential home owners. Because of the flexible nature of the material, the multipoint lock was invented to provide additional security to the top and bottom of the door frame to prevent easy break ins.

    Now you will commonly find a multipoint door lock on a UPVC plastic, composite and timber doors.

    A multipoint door lock comprises of a centre gearbox with additional locking points running up the face of the door.

    The Centre Gearbox
    The gearbox is positioned at the centre of the faceplate and is where the operation of locking and unlocking is performed. Usually the gearbox will have a latch which retracts when a handle is operated, and a deadbolt which extends to lock the door as a key is turned or handle lifted. You may find some multipoint locks have a hook instead of a deadbolt.

    The Faceplate
    Faceplates come in varying widths and styles to suit different door profiles. Most common is a flat square ended faceplate but you can also get a radius rounded end or U-Track faceplate.

    Additional Locking Points
    There are a wide variety of different locking mechanisms all providing varying levels of security situated further up or down the faceplate away from the centre gearbox. Some multipoint door locks will only have 2 additional locking points whereas others will be classed as a higher level of security and can range up to 8 additional locking points. Commonly found types of additional locking points are:

    • Rollers
    • Mushrooms
    • Hooks
    • Deadbolts
    • Pins
    • Wedges
    • Round bolts


    Overall multipoint door locks are one of the most secure ways to lock your upvc plastic or composite timber door. The additional locking points provide extra security at points in the door that may usually be susceptible to break in and entry.

    As with most locks, multipoint door locks offer differing levels of security from one another. This level of security will depend on a few things like the number of additional locking points, what those locking points are (rollers, mushrooms, hooks, deadbolts, pins etc), the operation of the lock, and the level of security of the accompanying handles and cylinder.

    Here’s a list of the additional locking points and extra features available on some models:

    There are several ways that multipoint door locks can operate to change from a position of unlocked to locked and back again.

    Lift Lever Operation
    To Lock - Lifting the door handles upwards causes all the additional locking points to engage. Turn the key in the cylinder to lock the door.
    To Open – Turn the key in the cylinder to unlock mechanism. Push the handles downwards to disengage and retract the locking points.

    Nightlatch Locking
    To Lock – On closing the door, the latch is automatically engaged. Lift the door handle upwards to engage the locking points. Turn the key in the cylinder clockwise to lock the door. From the outside the latch cannot be retracted by the handle only by the key.
    To Open – Turn the key in the cylinder to unlock the door. Push the handles downwards to disengage and retract the locking points. A turn of the key will then retract the latch.

    Key Wind
    To Lock – On closing the door, the latch is automatically engaged. Turn the key in the cylinder 2 full rotations to engage all locking points into position.
    To Open – Turn the key in the cylinder 2 full rotations to retract the locking points. The final turn of the key will then retract the latch.

    Fastlocking
    To Lock - Lifting the door handles upwards causes all the locking points to engage and lock. There is no need to turn the key.
    To Open – Turn the key in the cylinder to unlock the door. Push the handles downwards to retract the locking points. A turn of the key will also retract the latch.

    Automatic locking
    To Lock – Closing door causes all the locking points to engage. Turn the key to deadlock the mechanism.
    To Open – Turn the key in the cylinder to unlock the door. Push the handles downwards to retract the locking points. A turn of the key will also retract the latch.

    Multipoint door locks have a much longer faceplate than a mortice lock, approximately the length of the door profile. They can offer a superior level of security because of the additional locking points located near the top and bottom of the long faceplate as well as at the centre. Mortice locks only offer security at the central point of a solid timber door.

    Commonly; multipoint locks will be operated by a euro cylinder key whereas a mortice lock traditionally are operated using a mortice key although you can now get ERA Vectis multipoint door locks that allow the use of a mortice key to operate the multipoint door lock.
