Description
Advanced Auto Locking Security for Modern Entrance Doors
Standard multipoint locks often rely on the user remembering to lift the handle every single time they close the door. In busy homes, commercial premises, or rental properties, people frequently forget this crucial step. Leaving an entrance door secured solely by a temporary centre latch significantly weakens your perimeter defense and can leave timber or composite door leaves vulnerable to environmental warping over time. When a door does not pull tightly into its frame, draughts slip through, heat escapes, and intruder resistance drops dramatically.
The Winkhaus AV2 2 Hook Automatic Multipoint Door Lock 45mm Backset (R/H) completely solves this issue by deploying automatic dual hook engagement the moment the door is pulled shut. You do not need to lift an external or internal lever to secure the door. Magnetic or contact triggers release robust high tensile steel hooks that throw instantly into heavy duty frame keeps. This action pulls the door sash firmly against the weather seals, delivering an immediate high security lockup without requiring any extra physical effort from the user.
Engineered by Winkhaus to meet rigorous British security benchmarks, this auto locking mechanism blends convenience with rugged physical endurance. Whether you are replacing a worn mechanism on an existing timber entrance or upgrading a composite door assembly, this right hand unit offers exceptional weatherproofing, smooth operation, and reliable key access that trade installers and homeowners have trusted for decades.
Key Operational Advantages and Mechanical Design
Instant Auto Engaging Hookbolts
As soon as the door closes against the frame, two independent high tensile steel hooks automatically throw 25mm into the reinforced keeps. This mechanism eliminates the need to lift a handle to secure the perimeter. It guarantees immediate protection against forced entry while maintaining an airtight weather seal every time.
Comprehensive PAS 8621 Functionality
Built with life safety and security at its core, this lock supports keyless emergency egress installations compliant with PAS 8621 requirements. When installed alongside an approved thumbturn cylinder, occupants can exit swiftly without searching for keys, satisfying modern building regulations for multi residential and single dwelling properties.
Sash Protection and Anti Warp Compression
Timber and composite doors naturally respond to temperature and moisture fluctuations across the seasons. Because both outer hooks throw automatically, the top and bottom of the door are consistently held flat against the outer frame. This prevents bowing, warping, and draught leaks over years of continuous exposure.
Precision Sizing and Retrofit Simplicity
With a standard 16mm flat faceplate, 45mm backset, and outer hook spacing of 1490mm, this unit offers direct compatibility with existing Winkhaus multi point routings. Its full 2100mm overall length can be cut down slightly to match non standard door heights, making replacement quick and predictable for joiners.

Understanding Handing and Installation Requirements
Selecting the correct handing is vital when ordering automatic locks because the trigger mechanism and latch are factory oriented. This Winkhaus AV2 2 Hook Automatic Multipoint Door Lock 45mm Backset (R/H) is assembled for right handed operation. To confirm your door handing correctly, stand on the secure side where the door opens inwards towards you. If the hinges are fitted on your right and the handle is on your left, you require a right hand mechanism.
During installation, accurate frame keep alignment is critical. Because the automatic triggers rely on contact plates inside the keeps to release the hooks, keeps must be flush and plumb. We always recommend dry testing the hook throw with the door slightly ajar before closing it completely against the frame. Checking frame clearances guarantees that both hooks drop cleanly into the pockets without scuffing the strike plates, ensuring whisper quiet action every single day.
Trade Tip for Maintenance
To maintain effortless operation and preserve factory guarantees, lightly lubricate the hook pivots, auxiliary triggers, and central latch twice a year with a silicone based lubricant or light machine oil. Never use thick grease or graphite spray inside the main gearbox mortice, as this can attract dust and cause the internal trigger springs to stick.
