Andersen 8' Passive 2-Point Lock – Old Style (2579529)

This Andersen 2-Point Passive Lock Mechanism is designed for 8-foot Frenchwood Hinged Patio Doors. The lock features locking hooks at both the top and bottom for secure door engagement. With an overall length of 92-1/2 inches (2349.5mm), a faceplate width of 7/8 inch (22.2mm), and a 2-inch (50.8mm) backset, this lock provides reliable performance for your passive door panel.

The lock body has a zinc dichromate (gold) protective finish. This is the older gold-colored style passive lock mechanism. If your current lock has the gold finish, it must be replaced with the same type. Stainless steel locks must replace stainless steel, and gold must replace gold – these cannot be interchanged.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I replace my old gold lock with a stainless steel version?

No, the passive multipoint locks cannot be interchanged. If you have the older gold-colored lock mechanism, it must be replaced with the same gold type. Stainless steel must replace stainless steel.

How do I know if I need the old style or new style passive lock?

Check the finish of your current lock. If it has a gold (zinc dichromate) finish, you need the old style (2579529). The new style (2579779) has a different appearance and the two are not interchangeable.

Can I change the handing on this lock?

Yes, Andersen multipoint locks can be rehanded. Refer to the manufacturer's guide or instructional videos for step-by-step instructions on how to change the handing.
