ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions Australia proudly introduces its latest Euro Profile Mortice Lock, the Lockwood Induro 4-Point.

Better sealing capabilities than its predecessor, making it more environmentally friendly.

The Induro 4-Point lock offers vastly improved sealing capabilities with the added ability to tightly compress the door at the same time as it is secured with multiple points of locking. We recognise the growing market for larger door openings in the home, adding even greater demand for better locking and sealing solutions. Whilst Australia has predominantly been a market for two-point locks in this application, the trend for open-plan living will be perfectly supported by shifting to the Induro 4-Point.

All the best features of the previous range, as well as the benefits of added strength and durability, and reduced complexity.

With the need to build on a strong product legacy, Lockwood has taken all the best features of its predecessors - Millton, Lever Compression Lock (LCL), and Optimum - and created an all-new lock. Designed to have the highest ratings of strength, durability, and security of any of the previous locks, the Induro truly delivers in lifting the range to a new level.

The Induro 4-Point lock operates using the principles of lever-compression locking, where the lock can operate in two main modes;

• Single-point (latch only) operates just like a regular passage door
• Lift-Lock-Leave : Lifting the lever throws the deadbolt and shoot bolts, to seal the door, turn the key towards the edge of the door to lock before you leave home

The Induro 4-Point is designed to be a direct replacement to the Optimum 4-Point lock, with the same cut-outs and installation methods. For the changed lift-bolt configuration, strike plates may need to be adjusted or replaced, but the main lock just swaps across.

With that in mind, please note that the Optimum 4-point lock will be phased out entirely, with the Induro becoming the main replacement. Optimum 4-point lock will be made obsolete by July 2023.

Listed below are the new Induro part numbers to replace the Optimum part numbers. All other Optimum locks (sliding, and roller-bolt) remain available and are unaffected by the Induro 4-Point lock launch.
