G-U Torino Active Keyed Above Handle 45mm Trim

G-U Torino 45mm Active Handlesets with Key Above Handle

The G-U Torino collection represents a refined approach to multipoint lock handleset design, combining European aesthetics with American-standard cylinder compatibility. These active handlesets are engineered specifically for G-U mortise lock systems and serve as direct replacements for the discontinued Belissimo 4100 and 5100 series. MPLocks carries Torino handlesets in multiple finishes, allowing homeowners and contractors to match existing door hardware or update to a fresh look while maintaining full compatibility with their existing G-U lock mechanism.

American Cylinder Compatibility for Easy Rekeying

Unlike European profile cylinders that require specialized locksmith tools, the Torino active handlesets use a standard American cylinder with Schlage 5-pin SC1 keyway. This means any local locksmith can rekey your entry door to match your existing house keys, eliminating the need for a separate door key. The keyed-above-handle configuration places the cylinder in the upper portion of the backplate, providing a clean visual line and comfortable hand positioning when operating the lever.

Designed for G-U Multipoint Lock Systems

These handlesets are purpose-built for G-U manufactured mortise locks, including the Tripact, Europa, Cremona, and Secury Automatic door gears. The 45mm backset and 92mm PZ (cylinder-to-handle center distance) measurements are critical specifications that must match your existing lock case for proper installation. If you're replacing worn Belissimo handles or upgrading from an older G-U trim style, the Torino offers a modern alternative with proven compatibility.

Verifying Your 45mm Backset and 92mm PZ Measurements

Before ordering, measure from the edge of your door to the center of the handle spindle hole—this is your backset, which should be 45mm (approximately 1-3/4 inches) for these Torino handlesets. The 92mm PZ refers to the distance from the center of the cylinder hole to the center of the spindle hole, a standard European spacing. Taking these measurements from your existing hardware or lock case ensures you'll receive a handleset that fits without modification.
