Hurst Doors has introduced the Avantis Autofire -Slam Lock, a high-performance, multi-point locking system, which also works with Kubu Smart Technology to provide real-time updates on the status of the lock.
The Avantis Autofire Lock is engineered for ease of use, featuring a self-lubricating polymer and a stainless steel-zinc combination, ensuring a smooth and efficient locking mechanism. Its bolt and keep design significantly reduces operating forces, delivering an effortless experience for both installers and end-users.
“This is about giving installers a competitive edge,” explains Mark Atkinson, Sales Director at Hurst Doors. “We’re not just offering a robust, secure locking solution but one that brings the benefits of smart technology without complicating the installation process.
“The Avantis Autofire Slam Lock is fitted as a standard multi-point locking system and is ready to be upgraded with Kubu Smart Technology at any point, giving homeowners flexibility while keeping installation times down.”
Its integration with Kubu Smart Technology enables homeowners to monitor the status of their door in real-time through a mobile or tablet app, providing them with peace of mind and added security. Once paired with the optional Kubu Smart Kit, the system can alert homeowners if the door has been left unlocked as they leave their property, making it a practical solution for homeowners.
“Kubu is incredibly user-friendly, and it’s a game-changer for homeowners who are looking to add an extra layer of security to their doors,” says Mark. “The beauty of this system is that it doesn’t require any additional work for the installer. The door is fitted just like any other, and if the homeowner decides to upgrade with Kubu, they can do it themselves in minutes.”
The Avantis Autofire Slam Lock meets stringent security requirements, having been tested to PAS24:2022 and BS6375 standards. Additionally, its corrosion-resistant design ensures durability in various environmental conditions, boasting a 240-hour NSS corrosion resistance rating for both the lock and keeps. Hurst offers a 10-year mechanical guarantee on the product, further reinforcing its reliability.
“The security benefits of the Avantis Autofire Lock are second to none,” Mark concludes.
“Homeowners are increasingly concerned about the safety of their properties, and this system provides that assurance. For installers, being able to offer a lock that not only meets security standards but also integrates smart technology is a real selling point.”
