Information

The Maco A-TS multipoint door lock is designed for enhanced security and convenience, featuring two hooks and automatic operation.

The A-TS Automatic Door Lock integrates advanced locking technology with versatile opening options. Upon closing, it automatically secures the door in three locations: two hooks and a deadbolt. This unique mechanism ensures that all locking points engage simply by shutting the door.

You may encounter the A-TS lock referred to as the Maco Z-TA automatic lock. The Z-TA was the predecessor to the A-TS, and as long as the locking points align, these locks can be interchanged.

Maco Protect A-TS gearboxes closely resemble their C-TS counterparts, with a similar shape but featuring a cutout in the top corner. Measuring 202mm high, they are among the smaller gearboxes available. They also include a distinctive "soft" latch, which appears split in half. Note that Maco offers various latch variants, so this feature alone may not definitively identify the lock.

Both the latch and deadbolt measure 30mm high, with a spacing of 55mm between them. They are secured to the faceplate with three screws: the top screw to the center measures 102mm, while the center screw to the bottom screw measures 110mm.

When measuring the backset, account for an additional 2-3mm for the faceplate; thus, a 35mm backset gearbox will measure 32mm when not attached to the strip.

A-TS hooks are distinctive, featuring a latch below the hook that activates the hooks when the door closes. The hooks always move upwards upon activation.

To lock:

Simply close the door. As the latches engage with the keeps, they will activate the top and bottom hooks, as well as the deadbolt.

To open:

Unlock with a single key turn from the outside, a turn of the key or thumbturn from the inside, or by using a door handle from the inside.
