How to replace a riveted Winkhaus Cobra centre gearbox door lock, quick and simple method, save ££££

We get asked a lot about how to change these riveted gearboxes on the Winkhaus locks rather than the normal T20 hex or Philips bits you would see on the majority of multipoint door locks, so we decided to show you a short simple method on how to do this with a few simple tools and parts you can order from the links below.

Very helpful, particularly the link to the rivets. Why Winkhaus does not (like other manufacturers) use screws is, presumably, to encourage users to buy the whole mechanism. I will avoid Winkhaus mechanisms in future, as mine failed after five years.

Hi, yes that is most likely the reason , would be so much easier if they did use screws.
