GU New Breed Eagle Multipoint Locks with Latch Bolts

GU New Breed Eagle Latch Bolt Multipoint Locks for Automatic Door Security

The GU New Breed Eagle series represents a practical evolution in multipoint lock design, featuring automatic latch bolts that engage the moment your door closes. Unlike traditional multipoint systems that require lifting the handle to extend locking points, these Eagle locks provide immediate hold without extra steps. MPLocks carries the essential components for this system, including complete lock kits for 8-foot doors and individual lock bodies with the 45mm backset and 92mm PZ configuration that defines this line. The full-length faceplate design ensures smooth operation and consistent alignment across all three locking points.

Automatic Latch Bolt Convenience

The defining feature of the GU Eagle New Breed system is its automatic latch bolt mechanism. When you close the door, the upper and lower latch bolts extend automatically to hold the door securely in the frame. This means the door is always held in position even before you engage the full lock with your thumbturn or key. For busy households or commercial applications where doors might not always be manually locked, this automatic engagement provides an important layer of baseline security while still allowing full 3-point locking when needed.

Key-Above-Handle Configuration

All GU New Breed Eagle locks in this collection feature the key cylinder positioned above the lever handle. This configuration is standard for this product line and must match your existing door prep if you're replacing an older GU lock. When selecting replacement hardware or handleset trim, ensure your new components are designed for key-above-handle placement. The 92mm PZ spacing between the cylinder center and handle spindle is critical for proper fit with compatible handlesets.

Backset and Door Height Considerations

The GU New Breed Eagle locks in this collection are built with a 45mm (1-3/4 inch) backset, which is the distance from the edge of the door to the center of the cylinder and handle. Before ordering, measure your existing lock's backset to confirm compatibility. Door height matters too—the 8-foot door kit includes extensions and components sized specifically for taller doors, with the full-length faceplate spanning the necessary distance between locking points. If your door height differs significantly, contact MPLocks to discuss available options.
