G-U Hardware Handle Trim for Multipoint Lock Handlesets

G-U Hardware Multipoint Lock Handle Trim for American Cylinder Systems

G-U (Gretsch-Unitas) is one of the most recognized names in European multipoint lock technology, and their handle trim options bring that engineering expertise to American-style door hardware. G-U Hardware handle trim is specifically designed to work with flat tailpiece American cylinders, making these handlesets a practical choice for homeowners and professionals working with G-U multipoint lock systems installed in North American markets. MPLocks carries G-U handle trim to help you find the right replacement parts for your existing door hardware without compromising on quality or compatibility.

American Cylinder Compatibility with European Engineering

Unlike Euro profile cylinder systems, G-U Hardware handle trim accommodates standard American cylinders with flat tailpiece connections. This means you can use familiar cylinder styles while benefiting from G-U's proven multipoint lock mechanisms. The 7-3/4 inch and 7-9/16 inch mounting screw hole spacing options cover the most common G-U lock configurations, so measuring your existing backplate accurately ensures a proper fit during replacement.

Active Handle Configurations for Keyed Entry

G-U handle trim for active doors comes in both key-above and key-below lever configurations. Key-above designs place the cylinder above the lever handle, while key-below positions it underneath. Your existing lock system dictates which configuration you need, so note your current setup before ordering. Additional plate styles and handle designs are available beyond standard offerings to match specific aesthetic or functional requirements.

Measuring for the Correct G-U Handle Trim

Before selecting replacement handle trim, measure the distance between your existing mounting screw holes to confirm whether you need the 7-3/4 inch or 7-9/16 inch spacing. Also verify your cylinder position—key-above or key-below—by examining where the keyhole sits relative to the lever. These two measurements are essential for ordering the correct G-U handleset that will align with your door prep and lock mechanism without modification.
