FUHR MultiSafe multi-point door locks are renowned for their ease of use, reliability and durability. Profile specific keeps ensure secure fastening to the outer frame.
The FUHR 855 door locks are operated using the key which engages and disengages the locking points. Two full turns of the key are required to fully engage the locking points. Instead of a lever handle, a fixed pad is used on the outside of the door and the key used to operate the latch. From the inside, the latch can be operated using a lever handle.
The two traditional multipoint lock configurations, Type 1 & 2 include 4 locking points plus reversible latch and deadbolt. Four roller cams locate in the roller keeps on the Type 1.
The Type 2, the outboard locking points are mushroom cams for additional security.

Latch and hook adjustment:
Take care not to over adjust the hook keep as this can damage the keep - do not rotate through 360º. A screwdriver and a 4mm allen key will be required when adjusting these plates.
