A commonly used system for UPVC door locks, multipoint locks are now more popular than ever for external use in garages, composite doors and patio doors.
However, when it comes to purchasing multipoint locking systems for UPVC doors or similar, it is easy for consumers with no prior knowledge to buy poorly manufactured or incorrect items that will fail to match their needs.

Different types of multipoint locks
Multipoint locking systems are made up of multiple locking points (a minimum of three individual locking points) that each lock concurrently using a key. Using pins, hook bolts and camrollers, this locking mechanism is popular for external use. Both domestic and commercial properties will feature some sort of multipoint lock, so understanding their different types is important.
To help you find your original UPVC door lock multipoint system, it is important that you identify the brand of your lock, followed by finding the Backset and Centre measurements. Next make a note of which type of locking points you already have, and which order they sit in. Hook, deadbolt, roller cam and centre latch are all types of locking points, yet mainly all multipoint locks will contain more than one type.
Finish by measuring the distance between each locking point to the centre spindle, as well as measuring the width of the faceplate in millimetres and checking whether it is a flat (Flat Plate) or U-shaped (U-Rail).
