Description
Winkhaus AV2 Multipoint Door Lock Overview
The Winkhaus AV2 multipoint door lock is engineered for security and convenience, featuring 2 hooks, 1 deadbolt, and 1 latch. This innovative autolock system, introduced in 2008, automatically engages when the door is closed, eliminating the need to lift the handle.
Identification and Compatibility
To identify the AV2 lock, check the faceplate for the Winkhaus logo and the Secured by Design logo. All Winkhaus locks share the same routing details, making upgrades or changes to locking operations straightforward, though new keeps and handles may be necessary.
Fire Door Applications
The AV2 is often specified for fire doors requiring multipoint locking. It engages automatically in three positions, helping to maintain the door leaf's integrity against heat, which is crucial for achieving fire door ratings. However, fitting an AV2 lock alone does not guarantee compliance with fire door standards.
Motorized Locking Options
Many AV2 autolocks can be fitted with a motor for automated locking and unlocking. Users can open the door from the inside with the handle or utilize hands-free options like fingerprint recognition or intercom systems.
Gearbox Specifications
Winkhaus gearboxes, except for the AV4, measure 185mm high with a backset of +15mm, making them among the smallest on the market. They feature an alloy sprung latch and a nickel-plated steel deadbolt. The gearboxes are handed, and while some models have a latch reversal screw, the hooks cannot be reversed.
Unique Features
Winkhaus gearboxes are uniquely attached to the faceplate with rivets, simplifying replacement. Older models may have screws and a passivated yellow finish, identifiable by a color-coded sticker indicating operation type.
Automatic Locking Mechanism
The AV2's automatic locking mechanism engages the hook bolts upon closing the door, ensuring robust security. To lock, simply close the door and turn the key to deadlock the mechanism. Unlocking involves turning the key and either using the lever or a further key turn to retract the latch.
Durability and Security Standards
The AV2 lock is tested for 100,000 cycles and is recognized under the Secured by Design initiative, ensuring high security and reliability.

Measuring Guidelines
To ensure accurate measurements for your Winkhaus AV2 multipoint door lock, follow these guidelines:
Backset Measurement
To measure the backset, take a ruler and measure the distance from the edge of the door to the center of the lock cylinder. This is crucial for ensuring the lock fits properly within the door frame.
Centres PZ Measurement
For the Centres PZ, measure from the center of the keyhole to the center of the handle hole. This measurement is essential for aligning the lock mechanism correctly.
Faceplate Measurement
To measure the faceplate, you should measure the width and height of the existing faceplate on your door. This will help you select the correct faceplate from the drop-down options.
By following these measurement guidelines, you can ensure that your Winkhaus AV2 lock is installed correctly and functions optimally.
