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, launched 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.

“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.

Added Value Support Services

To support fabricators and installers through this transition, our technical, laboratory, and product management teams are expanding their services. Our UKAS accredited laboratory will be among the first to offer testing to the PAS24 2024 addendum, with our teams of experts ready to guide customers with their compliance journeys, including consultation, product development days and bespoke test programs, helping them adapt their designs efficiently and effectively.
