Whether you’re a first time homeowner or upgrading your old front door, you can trust Endurance to deliver the perfect balance of style and security. Browse our range of multipoint, automatic, and smart locking systems and find the right security solution
for your home today.

Multipoint locking mechanisms

Our range of locking mechanisms offers an exceptional level of security, allowing you to relax knowing that your home is protected by some of the most tried and tested locking technology available. Instead of relying on a single point of engagement, these systems secure your door at multiple points along the frame. Operating with a single lever handle, the central gearbox activates hooks or bolts that extend into the frame, providing a robust defence against forced entry.

All multipoint mechanisms from Endurance are compatible with our 3* high-security cylinders, exceeding industry standards for enhanced security. Designed for convenience, durability, and weather resistance, multipoint locking mechanisms offer homeowners a reliable and comprehensive solution for safeguarding their homes.

Guardian 5

The Guardian5 is the standard high-security multipoint locking mechanism for Endurance Doors. This mechanism is engaged by raising a traditional lever handle, which throws five nickel plated deadbolts into the frame. Providing multiple solid points of contact, making your front door resistant to intruders.

This mechanism is perfect for those seeking the freedom to come and go from their home without the worry of getting accidentally locked out. The key difference between the Guardian5 and its average multipoint counterpart is its enhanced sprung gearbox. This creates a reduction in the operational force required to engage the mechanism, creating more than just an increase in security, it also creates a smoother user experience.

QUADHOOK+

This 5-point locking mechanism features four high security opposing hooks positioned along the frame and a central brass deadbolt to prevent forced entry.

When in the fully thrown position, the bi-directional position of the hooks also provides improved compression and weather-sealing. For daytime use, this multipoint mechanism also features a simple day-latch, offering the perfect solution for security conscious homeowners.

The Guardian5 features multiple deadbolts and the QuadHook+ boasts bi-directional hooks, making these multipoint mechanism two of the most secure options available for composite doors.

DESIGN YOUR DOOR

Slam Shut mechanisms

Slam shut locks are auto locking mechanisms designed to provide a seamless and secure locking mechanism for your doors. Unlike traditional locks that require manual locking, auto-slam shut locks automatically engage when the door is closed. This means you don’t have to worry about forgetting to lock your doors or the possibility of leaving them unlocked when you’re in a hurry.

Automatic locking mechanisms utilise a variety of features to seal and secure your property when you close the door behind you, from magnetic triggers to automatic firing pins. Our AV4 locking options are available in both standard and heritage positions to best suit the style of your composite door

AV4

This auto-locking mechanism operates as soon as the door closes behind you, removing the need to lift a lever to hook the door into place, creating a smoother experience when you enter your home.

Once the door is slammed shut, the security hooks are triggered by a magnetic release located in the centre keep, securing your door in the frame. The deadbolt itself is activated by turning the key in the cylinder. Meaning that your composite door comes with in-built security features before the door even gets locked.

This advanced auto-locking mechanism is the newest evolution of the locking systems. The AV4 features an optional daytime latch that can be activated for times when flexible entry from the outside is required without the use of the key.

AV4 HERITAGE

The AV4 Heritage is a modern multi-point locking system with the cylinder placed in a heritage position. In the same way as the standard AV4 locking mechanism, the AV4 Heritage locks as soon as you close your door behind you, allowing for flexible entry from outside without the use of a key.

Suited to traditional door styles, the AV4 Heritage combines tradition with technology, ensuring your home remains timeless and safe. With 40% less force required to release the AV4 mechanisms, this is the perfect solution for a variety of users.

DESIGN YOUR DOOR

Smart locking mechanisms

Adding a smart locking system to your composite door provides a modern solution designed to provide convenience and control. These innovative locks allow you to manage access to and from your property with features ranging from keyless entry, fingerprint technology and intercom systems.

shared accommodation or rented property you can enjoy the flexibility of granting temporary access, receiving security alerts, and monitoring door activity from any location. Providing an ideal choice for homeowners seeking a modern and efficient home entry solution.

touchkey

av4e

The AV4 auto-lock can be upgraded to a motorised door locking system using a blueMatic EAV4 motor. For those seeking added comfort and convenience alongside the impressive features of the AV4 automatic locking system, the blueMatic AV4E goes beyond just mechanically securing doors. This advanced system not only locks doors but also offers a motorised opening function, providing an extra layer of ease.

Ideal for residents in shared accommodation, apartments, and communal entrances, the motorised operation of doors can be crucial. The locked door can be easily opened from the inside using the door handle as usual, or from both inside and outside using access control options like audio/visual intercom systems or fingerprint scanners. It’s the perfect solution for a hassle-free and secure entry experience.

DOUBLE DOOR LOCKING MECHANISMS

Our range of double door locking systems are crucial for enhancing the security and functionality of double entry doors, such as French or patio doors. These systems incorporate multiple locking points that secure the door at the top, middle, and bottom, providing superior protection against break-ins and ensuring a tight seal against the elements.

The master door is the primary operable door, equipped with the main locking mechanism. The slave door, or the inactive door, is secured using mechanisms such as flush bolts that anchor it to the top and bottom of the frame. For added security and convenience, the slave door often features mechanisms that allow it to be locked or unlocked manually, or with the use of secondary levers.

FRENCH COMPOSITE DOORS

FAB

The FAB double door locking mechanism is designed to enhance security and convenience for homeowners with double doors. A more traditional double door system, the FAB features a flush, integrated mechanism that incorporates heavy-duty shoot bolts at both the top and bottom positions of the slave door, providing robust security without the need for a visible secondary handle.

The FAB lock is compatible with our AV4 automatic locking system, typically paired with our premium hardware items, for a sleek, modern finish.

STABLE DOOR LOCKING MECHANISMS

Stable door locking mechanisms combine security and flexibility by allowing the top and bottom halves to operate independently. Featuring a multipoint locking system, where several locking points engage simultaneously along the door frame, enhancing resistance to forced entry. The separate sections of a stable door can be secured together with the use of a shoot bolt, allowing for customisable ventilation and access, maintaining functionality, safety and style.

Our stable door locking mechanism is compatible with all of our stable door styles. When combined with 3* high-security cylinders, our composite stable doors exceed industry standards for enhanced security.

STABLE DOOR LOCK

The stable door locking mechanism is the standard high-security multipoint locking mechanism for Endurance doors. Purpose-built for composite doors this mechanism features two separate locks to allow for the top and bottom sections of the door to function separately.

Locking together with the use of a central shoot bolt, the thumbturn operated bottom lock is fitted with a roller latch for convenient ease of use. The mechanism is engaged by raising a traditional lever handle, which throws two additional steel plated hooks into the frame.
