The Winkhaus AV2 is an automatic multipoint locking system engineered for high-security performance on UPVC and composite doors. The mechanism is designed to automatically engage two solid high-tensile steel hooks when the door is closed, without requiring handle lifting to engage the hooks. This does not automatically throw the central deadbolt: it is operated separately by the key or an appropriate thumbturn. When an outside lever is fitted, Winkhaus specifies that the key must still be used to lock the door. This slam-shut functionality makes it an excellent choice for both residential and commercial applications where convenience and security are paramount.
This lock features a central latch and deadbolt, operated via a standard Euro profile cylinder. Its versatile design allows for easy integration into existing door sets or new builds. A significant technical advantage of the AV2 series is its modularity; the lock is specifically designed to accept a bolt-on 12v electronic motor. This transition to the blueMatic AV2-E system enables the mechanical lock to be controlled through various access control methods, such as keypads, fobs, or intercom systems.
Constructed with durability in mind, the unit includes a 16mm faceplate and is designed for single spindle operation. Whether used as a high-performance replacement part or in a new door assembly, the AV2 provides a reliable and adaptable locking solution.
Electronic upgrade requirements: The AV2 range can be upgraded to blueMatic AV2-E with a compatible motor. Match the actual lock generation and motor mounting before ordering. Electronic release also needs the specified low-voltage power supply, cable/door-frame transition and a suitable access-control trigger; a motor alone is not a complete installation kit. Do not connect the lock motor directly to mains power.
Replacement checks: compare the original backset, faceplate width/end shape, hook positions, handing and frame keeps with the supplied lock. The range guide is not a substitute for the exact machining drawing.
