This article applies to Roto brand multi-point locks, using replacement hardware.


Roto has discontinued their old style multi-point locks and designed new, improved models. However, the newer designed gear box will not replace the oldest ones directly. Before anything else, you must figure out what you have.


All Single Point locks have been discontinued – Pictured Below


The overall face plate length was 13-3/8 inches. These can be replaced with the newer version with 15-3/4 inch face plate with minor modifications. See: Part # 40234


Multipoint Locks had 3 generations – 2 have been discontinued


Roto First Generation had a 13-3/8” face plate – Pictured Below


Roto Second Generation had a 15-3/4” face plate – Pictured Below


This lock has same configuration as the 13-3/8” lock, just a longer 15-3/4” Faceplate

The newest style lock has a Spring Latch and Deadbolt configuration that is 3/4” closer together than older styles. This will require minor modifications when installing.

1st Generation: 13-3/8”
2nd Generation: 15-3/4”
New style: 15-3/4”
