Active Keyed Above Handle - G-U Venice 45mm Trim

G-U Venice 45mm Active Handlesets with Key Above Handle Design

The G-U Venice collection represents a refined approach to multipoint lock handle trim, combining sophisticated European aesthetics with practical American cylinder compatibility. MPLocks carries these active function handlesets specifically configured for the keyed-above-handle orientation that many G-U lock systems require. With the 45mm backset and 92mm PZ dimensions, these handles are engineered to work precisely with G-U's family of mortise lock mechanisms, ensuring proper alignment and smooth operation for years of reliable use.

Designed for G-U Multipoint Lock Systems

These Venice handlesets are purpose-built to integrate with G-U manufactured mortise locks, including the popular Tripact, Europa, Cremona, and Secury Automatic door gears. The keyed-above-handle placement positions the American cylinder and corresponding interior thumb turn in the upper portion of the backplate, matching the lock case cylinder bore location on these specific G-U systems. This configuration is not interchangeable with keyed-below-handle setups, so confirming your lock's cylinder position before ordering is essential for a successful replacement.

American Cylinder Convenience

Unlike Euro profile cylinders common in European applications, these Venice handlesets accept standard American cylinders that locksmiths can easily rekey or replace. The exterior keyed cylinder pairs with an interior thumb turn, allowing quick egress without a key from inside while maintaining security from the exterior. This combination makes the Venice collection particularly well-suited for residential entry doors where both convenience and security are priorities.

Confirming Your 45mm Backset and 92mm PZ Measurements

The 45mm backset refers to the distance from the edge of the door to the center of the handle spindle, while the 92mm PZ indicates the spacing between the handle spindle center and the cylinder center. Both measurements must match your existing door preparation and lock case specifications. If your current handleset shows different dimensions, such as a 30mm backset or different PZ spacing, you'll need to explore alternative G-U Venice options or consider whether your door prep can accommodate these specifications.
