ERA Vectis Multipoint Door Lock with Latch, Deadbolt & 4 Rollers – Split Spindle Design The ERA Vectis Deadbolt Multipoint Door Lock features a reliable combination of 4 rollers, 1 deadbolt, and 1 latch, designed to provide enhanced security and door compression. This lock is widely used across the UK, often rebranded by top door manufacturers, making it a popular choice for uPVC, aluminium, and composite doors. Key Identification Tips for ERA Vectis Multipoint Locks: Rebranded by manufacturers under names like Surelock, Saracen, Spartan, Duraflex, Supa, Westward, and Cego. Faceplates may show the ERA logo or other brand markings. Uses a 5-lever mortice lock key or traditional UK-style keyhole. Look for a coloured holdback snib (grey for deadbolt/hook, blue for Vectis, others may be black or green). Sometimes referred to as Saracen locks, from the legacy manufacturer Laird.
