A multipoint gearbox is a crucial component in modern doors, especially uPVC, composite, and wooden doors. Designed to operate multipoint locking systems, this gearbox coordinates the movement of locking points, ensuring that all bolts, hooks, or rollers engage simultaneously when the door handle is lifted. By connecting multiple locking points along the door frame, the multipoint gearbox enhances security, improves door stability, and contributes to energy efficiency, making it an essential feature for both residential and commercial properties.

Multipoint gearboxes work in conjunction with a door handle and a euro cylinder lock. When the handle is lifted, the gearbox activates locking points at the top, middle, and bottom of the door. Turning the key in the cylinder further secures the door, ensuring maximum protection against forced entry. This mechanism provides more strength than a single-point lock, distributing force evenly across the door and frame.

???? Types of Multipoint Gearboxes

Multipoint gearboxes come in various designs to suit different door systems:

• Standard Gearboxes: Operate typical multipoint locks for residential doors.

• Anti-Lift Gearboxes: Prevent attempts to lift the door from the frame.

• High-Security Gearboxes: Designed for commercial or high-risk areas with reinforced components.

• Adjustable Gearboxes: Allow alignment with different door sizes and locking points.

Choosing the right gearbox is essential to ensure smooth operation, durability, and compatibility with the door type.
