Apeer gearboxes are available in 35mm or 45mm backset with a single spindle mechanism.

Single spindles are sprung and can only be used as a lift lever function.

Apeer gearboxes measure 228mm high by backset +15mm. The latch measures 30mm high, as does the deadbolt. There is 65mm between the bottom of the latch and the top of the deadbolt.

Gearboxes are fitted to faceplates with 3 screw holes. The top to middle screw hole measures 109mm and the middle to bottom also measures 109mm.

Earlier versions of these gearboxes also had a small spindle hole at the top of the case, near to the latch. This was used to hold the latch back.
