Description
Advanced Multi-Point Security with Controlled Anti-Lockout Operation
External entrance doors present unique operational challenges for property managers, landlords, and homeowners alike. Everyday multi-point systems often require manual handle lifting to throw the security bolts, which means busy residents frequently leave doors secured only by a simple latch. This common habit leaves timber and composite entry doors vulnerable to forced entry, draughts, and weather-related warping over time. Simultaneously, standard automatic locks can present accidental lock-out risks for residents stepping outside momentarily into communal corridors, gardens, or shared courtyards without their physical keys in hand.
The Winkhaus AV2 FA Lockout Facility 2 Hook Multipoint Door Lock 45mm Backset solves these everyday security dilemmas by pairing intelligent automatic multi-point deadlocking with an integrated daytime release mechanism. Engineered specifically to comply with the rigorous PAS 10621 standard for dual-aspect external doors, this premium hardware mechanism automatically deploys heavy-duty high-tensile steel hooks upon closing the door slab. When operational flexibility is required, the built-in FA lockout facility allows free keyless passage without compromising the underlying structural strength or certified performance of the door set.
Key Architectural Advantages
Automatic Hook Engagement
Upon pulling the door shut against the outer frame, twin independent mechanical triggers instantly release two robust steel hooks deep into the reinforced frame keeps. This immediate engagement ensures consistent multi-point weather tightness and exceptional resistance to physical jemmying, completely eliminating the need to physically lift a door lever to secure the entryway.
Integrated FA Daytime Release Mechanism
The dedicated lockout facility delivers practical convenience by permitting temporary free passage whenever required. By setting the discreet catch, the automatic hooking sequence is temporarily paused so occupants can move freely through the doorway without the risk of being accidentally locked out, making it an exceptional choice for modern multi-occupancy settings and private residences.
Split Spindle Internal Functionality
Manufactured with a precision-engineered split spindle gearbox, this unit allows swift egress from the inside via a single downward handle stroke. External access requires an authorised physical key cylinder rotation when the system is engaged in standard locking mode, balancing swift emergency building escape with impenetrable perimeter protection.
Weather Sealing and Warp Prevention
Doors fitted with conventional latch systems frequently suffer from perimeter thermal leakage and timber deflection over seasonal transitions. Because the two high-tensile hooks throw automatically every time the door shuts, the slab is continuously pulled tight against the perimeter frame weather seals, sustaining thermal performance and draft proofing throughout the year.
Stage-by-Stage Operational Pipeline
Stage 1. Frame Closure
As the door closes into the frame rebate, two independent magnetic or mechanical contact sensors encounter their corresponding keeps. This triggers the immediate release of the upper and lower hookbolts without demanding any handle lifting from the user.
Stage 2. Deep Hook Penetration
Both high-tensile steel hooks extend a full 25mm deep into the reinforced frame keeps. This dual action clamps the leaf firmly in place, distributing forced entry loads evenly across the length of the 2010mm faceplate.
Stage 3. Cylinder Deadlocking
A single full turn of the euro profile cylinder locks the central latch, deadlocks the hooks in position, and blocks internal handle operation. This secondary action ensures maximum security during prolonged unoccupied periods.
Stage 4. FA Daytime Release
Activating the integrated FA lockout switch prevents the automatic hook engagement cycle when the door closes. Occupants can pass freely between rooms or gardens without needing their keys, eliminating accidental lock-outs completely.

Installation Considerations and Hardware Pairing
Proper installation is essential to unlock the full security and thermal efficiency of this auto-locking unit. Installers must confirm that the door rebate is properly morticed to house the 185mm central gearbox case and that frame keeps align accurately with the 1490mm hook spread. Minor vertical misalignment in timber or composite door frames can place undue resistance on the automatic triggering triggers, preventing smooth hook projection.
To ensure long-term durability, the system should be paired with an appropriate high-security euro profile cylinder and matching Winkhaus AV2 keeps. A light application of acid-free multi-point lock lubricant along moving parts once or twice a year will maintain effortless, quiet operation for decades of daily traffic.
