Winkhaus AV2 Multipoint Door Lock Overview

The Winkhaus AV2 multipoint door lock is engineered for both security and convenience, featuring 2 hooks and 1 latch. Introduced in 2008, this autolock system automatically engages when the door is closed, eliminating the need to lift the handle.

Gearbox Specifications

Winkhaus gearboxes, excluding the AV4, measure 185mm high with a backset of +15mm, making them among the smallest available. They feature an alloy sprung latch and a nickel-plated steel deadbolt, with most models including an independent central deadbolt.

Understanding how to measure these specifications is crucial for ensuring compatibility and optimal performance of your Winkhaus AV2 multipoint door lock. Here’s a brief guide on how to measure each component:

Backset Measurement
To measure the backset, place a ruler or measuring tape from the edge of the door to the center of the lock cylinder. This distance is your backset measurement.

Centres PZ Measurement
The PZ measurement is the distance from the center of the keyhole to the center of the handle hole. Use a measuring tape to find this distance accurately.

Faceplate Measurement
To measure the faceplate, you need to check the width and length of the existing faceplate on your door lock. This ensures that the new faceplate will fit perfectly.

By following these measurement guidelines, you can ensure that your new Winkhaus AV2 lock will fit seamlessly into your door, providing both security and functionality.
