Replacement for Old style Gearbox GU 45/92
It appears the Old style Gearbox GU 45/92 is obsolete. I came across this page of other people with the same problem. After a few emails with Handles and Hinges, I decided to make purchase. A few things I needed to do to make the new unit fit into the existing space. 1/ The strip is much taller than my door so top and bottom need to be trimmed. The trench in the door extended slightly for the strip to fit to include certain screw holes. I also drilled 1 extra hole in the strip at the top. The screw hole positions don't align with the old so new holes need to be drilled. 2/ The strike plate needs to be lowered slightly to align with the dead bolt etc. All in all, well within the capabilities of a DIYer. Thanks again.

The multipoint lock was ordered to replace an old style 20 year old GU multipoint lock. The replacement fitted perfectly with just a little adjustment to the wooden door frame. Handles & Hinges gave great service and quick delivery - highly recommend

Old style GU replacement
I could not find an old style GU multipoint assembly with 45mm backset. Handles and hinges advised that this item would fit with small modifications, it was fine, trimmed top and bottom and moved mortice keep in door frame down about 15mm and all working perfectly.
