Fullex

This Fullex Auto multipoint door lock features 3 Deadbolts & 1 Latch.

Based on the popular Crimebeater lock, the Fire Door Slam Shut Autolock has an actuator unit positioned between the centre case and the top bolt. When the door is closed a trigger in the actuator is depressed by a strike plate fitted to the outer frame which allows the actuator to drive the top and bottom bolts into their extended position. A single rotation of the key or thumbturn then locks the door.

Available in a 3 deadbolt variant, with a 20mm steel faceplate. When combined with an intumescent kit, this lock can achieve FD30 and FD60 standards on timber and composite doors. Please see the associated part of the intumescent kit.

Fullex Crimebeater multipoint door locks are available as either a deadbolt or hookbolt variant, but the locking points are in the same position, regardless of which version you choose. Identifying a Fullex Crimebeater is largely the same as identifying a Fullex XL lock. Very early versions of this lock did not have Fullex stamped on the faceplate, but checking the gearbox will help identify the lock. The top corner is cut off and it will feature a latch and deadbolt (XL series locks feature a latch and hookbolt).

Crimebeater locks can also be verified by checking the measurements of the external deadbolts and hookbolts. The top hook or deadbolt will measure 686mm from the top spindle in the gearbox. The bottom hook or deadbolt will measure 714mm to the top spindle.

Automatic locking multipoint locks also have the added benefit of always having the locking points engaged in the middle, top and bottom of the lock, when the door is closed. That differs to a normal multipoint lock, where the user may not always throw the locking points, leaving the door closed on the central latch, only. As the door is not held against the frame across its entire length, that can lead to doors becoming bowed or warped over time and as they are exposed to the elements. Automatic locking multipoint locks help alleviate this issue as, when the door closes, the door will be automatically held against the frame in the middle, top and bottom of the door. That helps ensure that the door stays straight and true.

Fullex Autolocks use the same gearbox as a regular Crimebeater but they are only available in a 45mm backset with double spindle configuration. They can be used as lift lever or double spindle nightlatch lock.

Crimebeater gearboxes measure 227mm high by the backset + 15mm. These gearboxes attach to their strips with three equidistant screws. The middle screw is 108mm from the top, which is also 108mm from the bottom screw.

These gearboxes feature a deadbolt and latch. The latch is 24mm high, the deadbolt is 30mm high and the distance from the bottom of the latch to the top of the deadbolt is 72mm.

Crimebeater gearboxes also feature a snib on the faceplate that can be used to hold back the latch.

Crimebeater Autolock external deadbolts are manufacture red from chrome plated A3 hardened cast steel.

The Fullex Crimebeater is engineered to provide long term reliability and security. Widely specified, Fullex Crimebeater has been fitted to hundreds of thousands of doors in the UK.

Available with 3 deadbolt and 2 hook and deadbolt variants, in 20mm steel or 44mm wrap around white aluminium powder coated faceplates. The Crimebeater was previously available with a flat 16mm faceplate, but those locks are no longer manufactured. We’d recommend a case swap or repair lock as a replacement.

This Fullex XL lock features Latch Hookbolt 2 Rollers and 2 Mushroom Cams

The XL was designed from the outset to offer maximum security and reliability. All XL locks feature three hooks, two steel anti lift pins and the option of either two or four roller cams for compression and smooth operation.

XL multipoint door locks are available in a double, single or split spindle gearbox, allowing them to be used as a lift lever lock, double spindle nightlatch or split spindle nightlatch, depending on the model you choose. The door prep will be the same for all locks (although the double spinlde will require different handles), so the locks can be interchanged.

Identifying an XL lock is relatively easy. The faceplate is stamped with the Fullex logo and, once the lock is removed from the door, you’ll recognise that the top corner of the gearbox is cut out, a feature that characterises the XL lock.

The XL range features a number of different locks with hooks, anti lift pins and rollers, each in a differnet location relative to the spindle. Please check your measurements against our product specifciation to ensure that you have the correct lock.

Every XL lock is extendable top and bottom for maximum flexibility and when combined with Fullex high security shoot bolts, the XL door system is fully capable of meeting PAS24 requirements.

Fullex XL gearboxes are available in 35mm and 45mm backsets in single, double and split spindle configurations but their dimensions are all the same. They measure 227mm high by the backset + 15mm. These gearboxes attach to their strips with three equidistant screws. The middle screw is 108mm from the top, which is also 108mm from the bottom screw.

These gearboxes all feature a hook which throws upwards. The hook is manufactured from Dacromet coated A3 sintered steel and is approximately 23mm high.

XL gearboxes also feature a snib on the faceplate that can be used to hold back the latch.

Fullex XL hooks are made from chrome plated A3 hardened cast steel. Each hook is accompanied by a anti lift pin bolt, manufactured from the same material.

On XL locks, the top hook throws downwards, with the anti lift pin situated above it. The bottom hook throws upwards with the anti lift pin situated below it.

Rollers are used for compression, to pull the door against the frame, to help prevent dust or water ingress. They do little for security, but they also have the added benefit of helping to prevent the door from becoming warped as it is supported across its full height. This is dependent on the rollers being engaged into their keeps.

Rollers are normally adjustable by +/- 1mm to help achieve optimum weather sealing.
