fabrication and installation. For installers, the system helps avoid costly call-backs thanks to its ultra-dependable low-force operation, even when installed under pressure or exposed to shifting conditions over time. Proven in the Field – Backed by End Users In user testing, AV4 consistently outperformed competitor locks under simulated conditions that pushed doors beyond normal industry tolerance levels. Participants highlighted the ease of use, reliability, and long-term benefits. Javaria, a landlord managing multiple properties, said: “Over time, doors become inherently more difficult to open. AV4 will reduce callouts and be easier to use for tenants in the future.” Lee, a homeowner, commented: “Even as the door gets older and is open to the elements and wear and tear, it works—it was absolutely excellent.” Short videos capturing this feedback are available to fabricators and installers for marketing or customer education, downloadable via the Winkhaus Partner Portal or on request at marketing@winkhaus.co.uk.
