and adding smart functionality without layers of complication. Battery performance is also important. Concerns around smart door technology often stem from device performance over time, especially when operating a multi-point locking system. As part of our cycle testing, the Polaris Smart Lock achieved up to nine months’ battery life with AV4, up to 12 months with Thunderbolt, and 12 months for the Polaris Smart Sensor and Remote Fob*. Security Has Changed Homeowners want security solutions that protect against both physical and digital threats. As connected devices become more common, compliance can no longer focus solely on the mechanical lock. Crafted Synergy is designed with evolving security standards in mind, tested against PAS 24:2022 + A1:2024 enhanced security and IASME Level 1 and Level 2 testing requirements for IoT security, for greater confidence that the whole system has is secure a physical and digital security perspective. The mechanical foundation is just as important. Crafted Synergy uses the award winning autoLock AV4, AV4 Heritage, or Thunderbolt multi-point locking solutions, with the XR6 1-Star cylinder and either the 2-Star armorShield handle or escutcheon to create a robust 3-Star security solution. This layered approach provides the best protection for cylinder, strengthens the doorset, and gives fabricators a clear security story to take to market. Homeowners’ expectations place quality, security, and performance, at the top of their priority list, yet much of the industry still tries to differentiate through colour, design and glazing, Crafted Synergy allows fabricators to align their offer with what homeowners’ value most. Homeowner benefits are straightforward. Lock and
unlock the door using the Polaris App, Fob, or a key, live visibility of whether the door is closed and locked in the app and control from anywhere when paired with the Polaris Wi-Fi Bridge. Crafted Synergy helps move the sales conversation away from cosmetic features and towards engineered security performance, usability, compliance confidence, and smart functionality. It gives fabricators a way to explain why one doorset is different from another, and why the value inside the door matters, and delivers real lifestyle benefits for users. Support beyond the product itself. Launching a new product is about more than supplying outstanding hardware. Winkhaus has developed a range of marketing assets to help fabricators and installers introduce Crafted Synergy to their own customers. This includes how to guides, videos, images, graphics, showroom materials, short animations, and digital content that can be used to explain the system clearly and confidently, support the sales journey, reduce homeowner queries, and showcase the benefits of the system in practical, everyday terms. This is where Crafted Synergy can help fabricators sell more than a door. It gives them a stronger reason to lead with the hardware, not hide it. It helps them talk about the experience behind the door: how it locks, how it feels, how it protects, how it supports smart access, and how it gives homeowners reassurance in real life. Today’s customers are not only buying a product. They are buying confidence. They want a door that not only looks great, but they one that is secure, works smoothly, and fits the way they live. It gives fabricators the tools to change the narrative, strengthen the value of their offer, and sell more than a door. The future of door security is not about bolting smart technology to a door. It is about designing and engineering every component around a shared purpose. One ecosystem. Working in harmony.
