Your customers are putting their trust in your recommendation.

When they ask why you have chosen a particular locking system or smart solution, your team needs a clear answer and the evidence to support it.

As Justin Harris, Managing Director at Winkhaus UK, explains:

“Testing doesn’t simply satisfy standards. It protects our customers’ reputation.”

At Winkhaus, that thinking sits behind Crafted Synergy.

By bringing mechanical and smart security together, alongside technical expertise, we help fabricators and installers understand the solution they are supplying and explain it confidently.

Because every door you recommend carries your reputation with it.

A quick adjustment can take a sizeable chunk out of the working day.

There is the customer’s call, arranging a visit, the journey, and time on site. All for a door your team has already installed.

That is why ease of operation deserves attention when choosing the hardware.

Winkhaus autoLock AV4 is designed with low operating force and wider tolerances to help accommodate normal door movement as conditions change, reducing the potential for operational issues and associated callbacks.

Alongside correct fabrication and installation, those details can help protect your team’s time and your customer’s confidence.

A picture shows customers what a door looks like. A demonstration lets them feel how it performs. 🚪

Invite them to close it, operate the lock, and try the key themselves.

That simple experience can bring the quality of the hardware into the conversation and help customers understand what they are choosing.

With Winkhaus autoLock AV4, the door locks automatically when pulled closed, without lifting a handle. Low operating force helps make everyday use feel smooth and straightforward.

For your next showroom visit or customer demonstration, let the door do some of the talking.

🔥 A replacement component. Five years down the line. Will the person fitting it know what can be used?

That’s one of the practical questions the Golden Thread helps answer.

It connects a fire doorset’s original design and test evidence with its specification, manufacture, installation, and ongoing maintenance.

Clear, accessible records help the next person understand what was specified, what the evidence covers, and whether a proposed replacement is supported.

At Winkhaus UK, we help customers through technical guidance, specification checklists, and fire doorset training, supporting informed decisions throughout the doorset’s life.

As Fire Door Safety Week draws to a close, ask yourself: what information are we passing on with the door?

A smart turner is only as reliable as the lock it has to operate.

Doors naturally move over time. Changes in temperature, everyday use, and building settlement can all affect alignment and increase the force needed to operate the lock.

When that happens, the smart technology must work harder. This can affect performance, battery life, and the homeowner’s experience.

Crafted Synergy addresses the problem at its source.

Rather than treating smart access as an addition to the door, it brings the mechanical lock and smart technology together as one coordinated system.

With proven Winkhaus locking technology providing a low force, movement tolerant foundation, Polaris can perform as intended in real conditions.

Because reliable smart performance does not begin with the app.
It begins with the lock. Find out more 👉 https://www.winkhaus.co.uk/en/crafted-synergy

Fire resistance is only part of the picture. Have you checked the smoke control evidence?

This Fire Door Safety Week, we’re highlighting why both matter when selecting a doorset to help protect people and escape routes.

At Winkhaus, our smoke testing uses fully assembled doorsets, with hardware and thresholds fitted as they would be on site. We do not tape over the threshold gap, because this could conceal a potential route for smoke leakage.

Winkhaus Laboratories provides smoke control testing to BS EN 1634-3, helping customers build the evidence behind their solutions.
Our focus on mirrored evidence means supporting doorset configurations across fire, smoke, and security performance.

The question to ask: does the evidence cover the design, hardware, and fittings you’re specifying?

The complete doorset

A different hinge. An alternative lock. A replacement seal.

Before making a change to a fire doorset, ask the question that matters: does the evidence support it?

You need to ensure that any changes are supported within the testing evidence bank for the particular doorset.

This Fire Door Safety Week, we’re highlighting the importance of considering the complete doorset. The door leaf, frame, locking system, hinges, seals, glazing, and threshold all contribute to its performance.

A component that looks similar, or performs well elsewhere, cannot automatically be substituted into a tested specification. Any change needs to sit within the scope of the supporting evidence.

At Winkhaus UK, our fire doorset solutions bring together tested configurations, technical expertise, and support for fabricators and specifiers. Our timber and composite solutions cover internal and external applications, supported by evidence for fire resistance, smoke control, and enhanced security, all third party accredited.

Our team helps customers understand which configurations are covered and what that means for their project directly supporting their compliance journey.

Because confidence starts with knowing that the evidence supports the doorset being supplied.
