UAP has launched a new key wind lock, designed specifically for doors with fixed handles such as pull handles.
About Fullex Key Wind Lock
Suitable for composite and timber doors, the Fullex Key Wind lock uses a key or thumb turn to engage and retract the bolts and latch. Once the door is closed, the latch can’t be operated without the key.
"The Fullex Key Wind Lock is ideal for use with pull handles on the doors of residential properties, enabling homeowners to benefit from security, reliability, and functionality," says Julian Roberts, Technical Services Director at UAP. “If, for example, an intruder tried to open the door just after someone had entered the house with their shopping, they wouldn’t be able to get in as the latch would hold the door shut."
A further benefit is the lock’s simplicity. Many key wind locks on the market require the key to be turned between 360 and 720 degrees, but the Fullex Key Wind Lock enables the user to enter the door swiftly and easily.
To operate the lock, it takes half a turn to withdraw the bolts, is then returned to original position, then turned again to retract the latch.
In addition, UAP have developed a matching escutcheon, providing the option of a full, cost-effective system, including a pull handle, Key Wind Lock, high security escutcheon and 1 Star cylinder.
The design of the Fullex Key Wind Lock is based on the Fullex Crimebeater lock, which is engineered to provide long-term reliability and security.
