Product overview

GU Old Type 30mm Replacement Gearbox

The GU Old Type centre case gearbox (30mm backset) is the mechanism inside your uPVC door that is operated by the handle. It is the most common part to fail when a GU multipoint door lock stops working.

Replacing just the gearbox is far more cost effective than buying a complete new lock. The centre case re-attaches to your existing locking strip.

Key Measurements

The most important measurements are 30mm Backset and 92mm PZ. Other sizes on the product are provided for reference only.

This gearbox is non-handed, fitting both left and right-handed doors. Single spindle operation.
