WHY SYNERGY MATTERS IN DOOR SECURITY

Door manufacturers often

“ Pick & Mix” hardware from

different suppliers, leading to

compatibility issues, operational

inefficiencies, and reduced

security performance. Winkhaus

is redefining the market with

Crafted Synergy™, a fully integrated

range of door security

products, engineered to work

in harmony to create a smart

security ecosystem that boasts

simplified fabrication and

installation, with fewer callbacks

and reliable performance

under real-world conditions,

and compliance with the newly

enhanced security regulations

and test methodology.

Leading door and window

locking solutions manufacturer,

and Fire door systems House

Winkhaus, is launching a host of

new integrated innovations at

this year’ s FIT Show. Mike Rushen

– Sales Director Winkhaus UK

shares“ Crafted Synergy™ is

the culmination of years of

work understanding challenges

faced by fabricators, installers,

and their customers. I am so

excited to see the reaction

to this new smart security

ecosystem and the low force

efficiencies it provides.”

POLARIS: SMART DESIGN AND SIMPLE SET UP.

Mike Rushen explains:

“ Everything about our new

Polaris™ Smart turner is

synergised only for Winkhaus

products. It’ s sleek and functional

design, seamless integration with

our precision XR6 cylinder, ability

to adapt how it operates with the

Winkhaus autoLock AV4 and lever

operated Thunderbolt, low force

to operate door locks. Polaris™

knows and shares its status with

the Polaris Smart™ phone app,

including confirmation that the

door is not just locked, but locked

and closed when paired with

the Polaris™ smart keep sensor.

Around the world and at the door,

locking and unlocking is achieved

by smart phone and key fobs, the

choice is yours. The product will of

course be IASME and IOT security

tested, and SBD approved at

launch. You would not expect

anything less from Winkhaus.”

Mike Rushen added:“ With

autoLock AV4, our customers

have already seen the benefits

low operation force provides in

reducing call outs, increasing

productivity, profitability, and

customer satisfaction. The

introduction of Crafted Synergy™

further enhances this ethos, with

further low force efficiencies now

available by pairing autoLock

AV4 or Thunderbolt with the XR6

cylinder and Polaris, lowering

wear on motors, leading to

quieter operation and longer

battery life. The Crafted Synergy

range of products are designed

to work in perfect harmony,

ensure compliance with changing

legislation and provide

fabricators and installers with a

competitive edge in challenging

market conditions.”

3-STAR EQUATION

Pairing a 1-star cylinder,

which has never failed a security

test, with 2-star cylinder protection

is the perfect and proven

solution to address the evolving

enhanced security standards

and deliver a future ready 3-star

security solution. Winkhaus will

introduce its expanded range of

3-star solutions with new 2-Star

Handle, 2-Star Escutcheon with

optional pull, alongside the

2-Star armorShield and 1-Star

XR6 cylinder range.

installers through this transition,
