reduce callouts and be easier to use for tenants in the future.”
A homeowner, Lee, said: “Even as the door gets older and is open to the elements and wear and tear, it works, it was absolutely excellent.” Why This Matters Now
With rising ambient temperatures and prolonged heatwaves, doors (especially those in large, glazed entrances or exposed façades) are more prone to warping and frame shift due to thermal expansion and contraction. A lock mechanism designed with tolerance and low operating force is increasingly important. End-users are more conscious of usability, they want doors that continue to function reliably year after year, with minimal adjustment. Fabricators and installers face increasing pressure to reduce call-backs and service costs. A high-tolerance, low-wear lock like the AV4 helps them protect margins and reputation.
Security remains a major concern, the research showing 58.5% of consumers see room for improvement in current door locks underscores the demand. Summary In an environment where doors are under greater strain than ever, from thermal movement, material shifts, user demands and security concerns, the autoLock AV4 stands out as a smart solution. It offers low-force operation, wide tolerance design, automatic engagement, non-handed simplicity, and compatibility with smart and access-control upgrades. For manufacturers, fabricators and installers looking to deliver
better outcomes, fewer service visits, happier customers, and stronger value, AV4 is a compelling upgrade. And for end- users, it translates into doors that keep working, whatever the weather or the demands.
