G-U Venice Active Keyed Below Handle 45mm Plate

G-U Venice 45mm Active Handlesets with Key Below Handle

The G-U Venice collection represents a refined approach to multipoint lock hardware, combining contemporary European design with the familiar American cylinder format that homeowners and locksmiths prefer. These active handlesets are engineered specifically for G-U mortise lock systems, ensuring proper engagement with the lock mechanism and smooth daily operation. At MPLocks, we carry the Venice line because it addresses a common need: replacing worn or damaged handle trim on existing G-U multipoint doors without requiring a complete lock system overhaul.

Precision Fit for G-U Multipoint Systems

With a 45mm backset and 92mm PZ (center-to-center) measurement, these Venice handlesets align precisely with G-U lock cases used in Tripact, Europa, Cremona, and Secury Automatic configurations. The keyed below handle design places the cylinder beneath the lever, a layout commonly found on residential entry doors throughout North America. This positioning keeps the keyway accessible while maintaining the clean aesthetic of the Venice lever design.

American Cylinder Convenience

Unlike Euro profile cylinders that require specific key blanks, these handlesets accept standard American cylinders that any locksmith can rekey or replace. The exterior features the keyed cylinder while the interior includes a thumb turn for quick egress—no key needed to exit. This combination provides security without sacrificing convenience, making it ideal for primary entry doors where family members need easy access.

Confirming Your Handleset Measurements

Before ordering, measure from the center of the spindle hole to the center of the cylinder hole—this is your PZ dimension, which should be 92mm for these Venice sets. The backset measurement of 45mm is taken from the door edge to the center of the spindle hole. If your existing handle has screws visible on the interior plate, measure the distance between screw holes as an additional reference point. These measurements ensure the new handleset aligns with your existing G-U lock case without modification.
