The Winkhaus AV2-F 2070 M2 is an advanced automatic multipoint locking system designed for timber doors. Unlike standard manual locks, the AV2 mechanism automatically deploys its two high-tensile steel hooks as soon as the door is closed, ensuring the door leaf is pulled tight against the frame without the need to lift a handle 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 lock is ideally suited for both new installations and as a high-security replacement part. The radius faceplate is specifically engineered for timber applications, fitting seamlessly into standard routered preparations. The system utilizes a central latch and two hooks to provide robust physical security across the height of the door.
A key feature of the AV2 series is its upgrade path to electronic operation. The lock body is designed to accept a screw-on 12V electronic motor, transforming it into the blueMatic AV2-E system. This allows for seamless integration with various access control methods, such as intercoms, finger scanners, or keypads, making it a versatile choice for modern residential and commercial properties.
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.
