Secure your home or commercial property with an industry-leading ERA lock. With nearly 200 years of British manufacturing heritage, ERA is a trusted and recognised name in door hardware. Whether you are upgrading your front door security, replacing a broken gearbox, or fitting new internal doors, our comprehensive range of ERA locks offers a robust solution for every application.
Mortice Locks & Sashlocks
For traditional timber doors, an ERA mortice lock provides exceptional security and durability. Our selection includes standard 3-lever sashlocks for internal use, alongside BS-rated 5-lever Viscount and Fortress deadlocks that meet stringent British Standards—making them ideal for external front and back doors where insurance approval is required.
Cylinders & Nightlatches
Upgrade your access points with ERA’s premium Euro profile cylinders, available in both double-keyed and thumbturn variations featuring anti-pick and anti-drill technology. We also stock a wide variety of ERA nightlatches, from standard replacement bodies to high-security British Standard nightlatches that offer automatic deadlocking.
uPVC & Multipoint Locks
If you are repairing a modern composite or uPVC door, finding the right ERA lock replacement is simple. We carry ERA replacement deadbolt gearboxes (available in various backset sizes like 35mm and 45mm) as well as full multipoint door lock mechanisms featuring hook and roller configurations for maximum weather sealing and security.
Latches & Additional Security
Beyond heavy-duty locks, we also supply standard ERA tubular latches for internal latch door handles, traditional rim locks, and push-button combination locks with holdback features for areas requiring restricted access without keys.
Frequently Asked Questions | FAQs
Are ERA locks insurance approved?
Many high-security ERA lock models, such as the Fortress 5-Lever mortice locks and BS High Security Nightlatches, are kitemarked to British Standard BS 3621. This is the standard typically required by home insurance providers for external timber doors. Always check the specific product details and your insurance policy requirements.
How do I choose the right ERA lock for a uPVC door?
When replacing an ERA lock on a uPVC or composite door, you will typically need to replace either the central gearbox or the entire multipoint strip. To find the correct replacement, carefully measure the "backset" (the distance from the edge of the lock to the centre of the keyhole) and the "PZ centre" (the distance from the centre of the handle spindle to the centre of the keyhole).
How do I measure an ERA Euro cylinder lock?
To replace an ERA Euro cylinder, you must measure the existing lock's length. Remove the cylinder from the door and measure from the centre of the rotating cam (the middle screw hole) to each end. A cylinder might measure evenly (e.g., 45-45mm) or asymmetrically (e.g., 35-45mm) depending on your door's thickness and handle profile.
