ADVANCING SECURITY AND COMPATIBILITY FOR FIRE DOORS
UAP Ltd has announced the launch of its Fullex Autolock Rose, an innovative evolution of the popular Fullex Slam Shut Autolock, designed to deliver enhanced security and greater compatibility with modern doors.
» SUITABLE FOR USE with timber, composite, 44mm / 54 or thicker, the Fullex Autolock is specifically engineered to meet the needs of the fire door market, offering installers and homeowners a versatile and robust solution for contemporary construction projects.
Building on the success of the Crimebeater Slam Shut Autolock, the Fullex Autolock Rose introduces a deeper 55mm gearbox, while its flexible design supports two handle spindle options either lever on backplate or lever on rose, so allowing easy integration with a range of door designs. It also boasts a new and improved hardened gearbox casing made from a stronger plate material that ensures a higher degree of resistance to attack. The lock continues to offer firerated protection, supporting FD30 and FD60 timber and composite doors when used with perfectly cut intumescent kits, delivering confidence and peace of mind for both installers and end users.
Reliability and long-term performance remain at the heart of the Fullex Autolock’ s design. The lock has been endurance tested for 200,000 full cycles and is BSEN1670 Grade 5 corrosion-resistant certified, providing 480 hours of protection against environmental wear. It is Secured by Design accredited and PAS 24 compatible, and when combined with a Kitemarked Euro Cylinder via the Kinetica Freezeguard 3-star euro cylinder system, it offers an additional layer of security. Supplied as a complete set with strike plate options, the Fullex Autolock Rose ensures fire-rated protection while simplifying specification and installation.
Richard Morris at UAP Ltd, said:“ At UAP, we are always looking for ways to drive progress in security hardware. The Fullex Crimebeater Autolock Rose represents our latest step forward- improving on an already trusted product to deliver enhanced compatibility, flexibility, and durability for modern fire doors. It’ s our commitment to making homes and buildings safer without compromising on quality or convenience.”
