Key Features:

• Fast Locking Mechanism: The Europa Plus lock deadlocks the locking points automatically without the need to turn the key, providing convenience and security.
• Unique Locking Operation: To engage the lock, simply lift the handle upwards. Unlocking requires turning the key, followed by pushing down the handle to disengage the locking points.

Introduced in 1979 at the Deubau Trade Fair in Essen, Germany, the GU-SECURY multi-point locking system has evolved over the years, with significant advancements such as the first self-locking system launched in 1996.
