Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This gearbox is specifically designed to replace the *Old Style (Mark 1)* GU Ferco multipoint door lock gearboxes. It is crucial to confirm that your existing gearbox is indeed an Old Style GU Ferco unit and to measure the backset (the distance from the edge of the door to the center of the lock's cylinder or handle spindle) to ensure you select the correct 30mm or 35mm version. The PZ (distance between the center of the handle spindle and the center of the keyhole/cylinder) should be 92mm.
Setup and Installation:
- Remove Door Furniture: Unscrew the door handles and the cylinder lock from the door.
- Remove Lockcase: Unscrew the screws along the edge of the door where the lock mechanism runs, then carefully slide the gearbox out from the door.
- Install New Gearbox: Slide the new Kore gearbox into the lockcase cavity, ensuring it is oriented correctly.
- Reassemble: Reattach the door furniture (handles and cylinder).
- Test: Operate the handle and key to ensure smooth locking and unlocking before fully tightening.
Care: This gearbox requires minimal care. Ensure that the door mechanism remains free from debris. Periodically lubricate the moving parts of the lock mechanism with a light oil or silicone spray, accessible through the lockcase openings, to maintain smooth operation. Avoid using heavy greases that can attract dirt.
