SKU: 2436 ZM
Standard productThe center lock with GSV-No. 2436 ZM is a precision-engineered locking component specifically designed for 3-point lock systems, offering reliable performance, durability, and high corrosion resistance. Manufactured entirely from stainless steel, the lock is highly resistant to mechanical wear, environmental influences, and corrosion, making it suitable for both interior and exterior door applications. Its robust construction ensures a long service life even under frequent and demanding use.
Equipped with a pin hub, the center lock provides secure and precise transmission of force from the operating mechanism to the internal locking components. This design guarantees smooth and consistent operation, ensuring that the door locks and unlocks reliably with each use. The latch protrusion measures 16 mm, a dimension that is carefully matched to the requirements of 3-point locking systems, ensuring proper engagement with the corresponding locking points. This feature enhances the stability and security of the door assembly while maintaining reliable functional performance over time.
The lock is supplied without a cylinder or strike plate, allowing flexibility for installation in various door configurations and enabling integration into new or existing systems. The absence of a strike plate allows for adaptation to specific door frames or custom requirements, offering modularity and ease of installation.
With its complete stainless steel construction, the center lock combines mechanical stability with a corrosion-resistant, low-maintenance surface. The GSV-No. 2436 ZM center lock represents a technically reliable, long-lasting solution for 3-point locking systems, providing enhanced security, precision operation, and compatibility with professional door assemblies.

3-point locks always consist of 1 center lock (ZM) and 2 addtional latch locks (FOU) for top and bottom. The product is being supplied without rod.
The hand of door for mortise locks is defined as:
if the door is closed and the hinges are visible on the right/left, then the door is right/left hand. The door is therefore hinged on the right/left and according by definition of DIN right/left.
Or: if you grasp the handle with your right hand and latch and deadbolt show to the left, then it is right hand. If you grasp the handle with your left hand latch and deadbolt show to the right, it is a left hand.

Rim locks
The hand of door for rim locks is defined as:
if the door is closed and the hinges are visible on the right/left, then the door is right /left hand. The door is therefore hinged on the right/left and according to the definition DIN “right/left".
In addition to the designation “left” and “right”, it is to be indicated whether the locks are intended for inward or outward opening doors.

Sliding door mortises
The hand of door for sliding door mortises is the same for right and left. Sliding rim door locks different for left and right doors.
When ordering, always indicate “left” or “right”.

Latch
The lock latch keeps the door shut. In order to open the door, it must be retracted. |
Type of latch design | Illustration |
single latch | ![]() |
anti-vibration or three-piece latch | ![]() |
rolling latch adjustable | ![]() |
POM-latch for strike dampening | ![]() |
Deadbolt
The deadbolt regulates the access rights through the turning motion of the cylinder by key. The deadbolt is being driven out or retracted through the turning motion. |
![]() |
Faceplate
The faceplate is the visible part of the lock case. The faceplate, the latch and the deadbolt are the only visible parts of a mortise. |
![]() |
Handle hub
The handle hub takes the square spindle of the handle in order to retract the latch inside the lock through the turning motion of the same. This process allows the opening of the door. The shipbuilding norm specifies a 9mm square with a 2° incline. Schwepper supplies also with 8mm square, special contour or 0° incline on request. |
![]() |
WC-/privacy hub
The WC hub takes the square spindle of the olive or thumb turn, that retracts or drives out the deadbolt from the inside - analogue to the turning motion of the cylinder. The shipbuilding norm specifies a 7mm square. Schwepper supplies also with 8mm square on request. |
