Description
Securing Your Entrance with the Fullex SL16 Crimebeater System
External residential doors face continuous stress from daily operation, changing weather, and potential forced entry attempts. When an older multi-point mechanism wears out or suffers gearbox fatigue, the entire door leaf can lose its structural compression. This leaves your home exposed to draughts, water ingress, and compromised physical security. Sourcing a dependable replacement requires precise dimensional alignment, particularly around backset depth and hook positioning, to restore smooth handle movement and robust perimeter protection.
The Fullex SL16 (CRB0005) Crimebeater 2 Hook Multipoint Door Lock 45mm Backset provides an established, highly engineered answer to these entranceway demands. Known across the British fenestration trade for steadfast resilience, the Crimebeater series uses substantial deadlocking hooks combined with a central deadbolt to distribute locking force evenly across the frame. By pulling the door sash firmly against the weather seals, it eliminates movement and deters opportunistic intruders who attempt to lever the sash away from the jamb.
Whether you are replacing a worn Fullex lock mechanism or completing a full door refurbishment, this hardware specification delivers long-term reliability. It pairs a standard 45mm backset with flexible 92mm and 62mm dual spindle centres, giving you the choice between standard lever operation or split spindle night-latch functionality. The result is a robust, reassuringly solid door closure that maintains its smooth mechanical action year after year.
Key Architectural Features and Operational Engineering
Dual Hook and Central Deadbolt Locking
The mechanism features two heavy-duty steel hooks situated 1400mm apart, working alongside a robust central brass deadbolt. When you throw the handle upwards, these hooks extend deep into frame keeps in opposite directions. This opposing action anchors the sash securely, resisting jemmying and physical separation under heavy external force.
Dual Spindle 92mm and 62mm Centres
Equipped with twin follower spindles, the gearbox accommodates traditional lever/lever furniture on the 92mm centre or lever/pad security sets on the 62mm lower spindle. This gives properties the advantage of night-latch functionality, ensuring the door locks automatically from the outside whenever it pulls shut.
Fully Reversible Snib Latch Bolt
Handing adjustments on site take only seconds thanks to the reversible central latch. With a simple screw release on the main lock casing, installers can flip the latch orientation to suit left-hand or right-hand hanging doors. This eliminates guesswork and avoids unnecessary project delays during installation.
Full-Length 20mm Faceplate Strip
With an overall faceplate length of 1720mm and a standard 20mm width, this hardware fits cleanly into standard door edge eurogrooves. The steel cover strip delivers rigidity along the perimeter edge, maintaining straight sash alignment and providing clean aesthetic integration on timber and composite profiles.
Step-by-Step Installation and Replacement Guide
Upgrading an entrance door with the Fullex SL16 Crimebeater requires methodical attention to dimensional alignment. Following an organised replacement pipeline ensures balanced compression, smooth handle throw, and maximum security performance.
Stage 1 Dimensional Verification
Start by measuring your existing mechanism before removal. Confirm the 45mm backset distance from the front faceplate to the centre of the keyhole. Check that your outer hook centres match the 1400mm spacing, and verify that the 1720mm faceplate length sits properly within your door groove.
Stage 2 Old Hardware Extraction
Remove the door handles, fixing bolts, and euro profile cylinder. Carefully undo the fixing screws along the entire length of the old faceplate. Ease the damaged strip out from the eurogroove, making sure the timber or composite rebate stays clean and free from loose debris.
Stage 3 Latch Orientation and Seating
Examine the closing direction of your door. If the latch bevel faces the wrong way, loosen the latch screw, slide the head out, rotate it 180 degrees, and re-tighten firmly. Slide the new unit into the rebate, aligning the central gearbox mortice cavity accurately.
Stage 4 Fastening and Alignment Check
Fix the strip using suitable wood or multi-purpose screws from the centre gearbox outward to each end. Reinstall your euro profile cylinder and handles. Test the lever travel while the door remains open to ensure the deadbolt and hooks extend smoothly without internal binding.
Stage 5 Keep Adjustment and Testing
Gently pull the door closed and engage the lock. If you feel resistance, adjust the frame keeps in or out to balance compression against the weatherstripping. Once aligned, the handle should lift easily and the key should rotate smoothly through its full cycle.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I verify that this lock matches my existing door?
Check the stamped name on your current faceplate to confirm it is a Fullex system. Measure the backset, which must be 45mm from the front of the faceplate to the centre of the cylinder hole. Next, verify that the outer hooks sit 1400mm apart, the overall faceplate length is 1720mm, and the width is 20mm. Matching these four measurements ensures a straightforward replacement.
Can this lock be used with standard lever door handles?
Yes, it works smoothly with conventional 92mm PZ lever/lever handles. When fitted with a single spindle running through the upper 92mm follower, the door handle operates the latch and throws the hooks normally from both inside and outside.
How does the dual spindle function work?
The lock features two spindle followers, one at 92mm PZ and a lower one at 62mm PZ. If you fit an offset lever/pad handle set with twin split spindles, pushing the outside handle will not withdraw the latch. This prevents unauthorised entry from outside without a key, creating a secure night-latch entry system.
What maintenance is recommended to keep the mechanism running smoothly?
We recommend lubricating the moving hooks, deadbolt, and latch twice a year with a light machine oil or PTFE dry lubricant spray. Avoid heavy grease, which attracts grit and dust that can clog the internal gear teeth over time. Checking that frame keeps remain securely fastened also prevents undue strain on the internal mechanism.
