The Winkhaus AV2-F 2060 M2 is a high-performance automatic multipoint locking system designed for timber and composite doors. The primary function of the AV2 is its 'Autolock' feature, which ensures that two solid high tensile steel hooks engage automatically as soon as 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 mechanism is particularly beneficial for maintaining the structural integrity and weather seal of the door, as the hooks provide consistent compression across the door height. The unit is designed with a 20mm square faceplate and a Euro profile lock case, making it a reliable choice for both new door manufacturing and high-quality replacement projects.
A significant feature of this system is its future-proof design. The lock is prepared to accept a screw-on 12v electronic motor, allowing it to be converted into a blueMatic AV2-E electronic locking system. This enables integration with modern access control solutions such as intercoms, fobs, or biometric readers, making it highly versatile for residential and commercial environments.
- Automatic hook engagement without handle lifting; outside-lever installations still require key-locking
- Central latch and two security hooks
- High tensile steel construction for durability
- Optional integration with electronic entry systems
- Suitable for residential and commercial applications
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.
