Low force by design. Fewer call backs by consequence.

Doors naturally move as temperatures and conditions change. When tolerances tighten, a locking system that already requires significant force can become harder to operate, leading to adjustment visits, call backs, and frustrated homeowners.

Crafted Synergy helps mitigate this challenge by bringing together components designed to operate efficiently as one complete system.

At its heart, the Winkhaus AV4 automatic multi-point lock requires up to 70% less force to operate than competitor products. This helps provide greater tolerance for normal door movement and thermal expansion, keeping the door easier to lock and unlock as conditions change.

For fabricators and installers, that can mean fewer avoidable call backs. For homeowners, it means smoother, easier operation. For Polaris smart technology, it means less strain and more efficient performance.

Because smart technology performs at its best when it is not fighting against the door.
Crafted Synergy. Low force by design.

Smart technology should create new opportunities, not new support burdens.

Introducing a connected product involves more than selecting the right hardware. Sales teams need to explain it, installers need to fit and commission it, and homeowners need to use it with confidence.

That is why we have created the dedicated Polaris YouTube channel.
It gives fabricators and their installer networks one trusted place to:
▶ Demonstrate Polaris during the sales process
▶ Support installation and commissioning
▶ Share clear guidance at handover
▶ Answer everyday homeowner questions
▶ Keep up with new features and app updates

By helping customers find clear answers quickly, the channel can reduce routine support calls and support confident adoption.

Sell with confidence. Install with confidence. Support with confidence.
Explore the channel and subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/

More than a door

Homeowners may choose a door based on its colour, glazing, furniture, and design, but its true value is experienced in the way it performs every day.
• How smoothly does it close?
• How easy is it to lock?
• How reliably do the mechanical and smart elements work together?

Our latest article explores why it is time to move the conversation beyond appearance and focus on the hardware at the heart of the door.

Discover how fabricators and installers can differentiate their offer, reduce call backs, and sell more than a door: https://www.winkhaus.co.uk/en/latest-news/more_than_a_door
