Premiere P3000 Active Gearbox – Lower/Spring Latch (P3000-45LT)

This is the lower active gearbox for the Premiere P3000 multipoint lock system. The P3000 uses a two-gearbox design: one upper gearbox controls the deadbolt, and this lower gearbox controls the spring latch. This listing is for the spring latch gearbox only – no additional parts are included.

The P3000 is sometimes called a "Babysitter lock" because the deadbolt operates independently without engaging the upper or lower shoot bolts. This makes it much easier for guests, children, or anyone unfamiliar with multipoint locks to lock and unlock the door without the full multipoint engagement sequence.

How to Operate the P3000 Lock

This lock operates differently than most multipoint locks:

  • To Lock: Throw the deadbolt first, then lift the handle to engage the auxiliary locks
  • To Unlock: Retract the deadbolt and push the lever down to open

Stamped With

  • AHP45LT-100DT (spring latch)
  • AHP45DB-100DT (deadbolt box)

Technical Information

  • Backset: 1-3/4 inches (45mm)
  • Gearbox Position: Lower (spring latch)
  • Handing: Reversible

Notes

  • To change handing: Extend the deadbolt, pull the spring latch out, rotate to the correct position, and test the function before closing the door
  • The P3000 system requires both upper (deadbolt) and lower (spring latch) gearboxes for complete operation

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Babysitter lock?

A Babysitter lock allows the deadbolt to operate independently without engaging the shoot bolts, making it easier for people unfamiliar with multipoint locks to use the door.

How do I reverse the handing on this gearbox?

Extend the deadbolt, pull the spring latch out, rotate it to the correct position, and test the function before closing the door.

Does this include both gearboxes for the P3000 system?

No, this is only the lower gearbox for the spring latch. The P3000 system uses two separate gearboxes – you may also need the upper deadbolt gearbox.
