Lockwood FESP0048SIL Main Latch Mechanism Cover 2 Point Silver
The Lockwood FESP0048SIL Main Latch Mechanism Cover 2 Point Silver is a replacement cover for compatible Lockwood FLUID exit device main latch mechanisms. It is designed for 2 point applications where the visible main latch cover needs to match the correct device configuration.

Full Specifications
Fire Rated
- No standalone fire rating has been confirmed for the FESP0048SIL mechanism cover alone.
- Fire door suitability must be assessed as part of the complete FLUID exit device, door leaf, frame, latch assembly, strikes, fixings and approved door assembly.
- For fire rated openings, confirm the full hardware schedule and door manufacturer approval before replacing covers or latch hardware.
Certifications and Compliance
- No standalone certification number has been confirmed for FESP0048SIL from the available product data.
- Compliance depends on the complete Lockwood FLUID exit device configuration and installation.
- Replacement work should maintain the original approved device configuration and should be checked by a qualified door hardware professional where compliance is critical.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is FESP0048SIL a complete panic exit device?
No. FESP0048SIL is the 2 point main latch mechanism cover only. It does not include the complete FLUID exit device or the main latch assembly.
Does this suit a 1 point or 3 point device?
No. This model is the 2 point cover. Use the correct confirmed cover item code for 1 point or 3 point configurations.
Should I order the latch assembly as well?
Only if the existing 2 point latch assembly is worn, damaged or missing. The cover alone will not repair a faulty latch mechanism.
Additional Information
- This part is most relevant to locksmiths, installers and maintenance teams repairing compatible Lockwood FLUID 2 point exit devices.
- A common ordering mistake is selecting the wrong cover for the device point configuration. Check whether the installed FLUID device is 1 point, 2 point or 3 point before ordering.
- If the main latch mechanism is worn or damaged, replacing the cover alone may not resolve operational problems.
- Where the door is part of a regulated escape route or fire rated opening, replacement should maintain the original approved hardware configuration.
- For older or heavily used exit hardware, inspect the latch assembly, strikes, rods, covers and fixings before completing the repair.
