DORIC DS2800 ‘LIFT TO LOCK’ MORTICE LOCK BODY LIFTS THE PERFORMANCE AND FUNCTIONALITY OF ALUMINIUM HINGED DOORS IN LARGER SIZES

Doric improves on its market-leading range of mortice locks with the new DS2800 'Lift to Lock' Mortice Lock Body. Engineered to integrate with premium architectural aluminium, the DS2800 builds upon the success of its predecessor the DS1297. It is an Australian-designed lock body for higher levels of security, simplified installation and fits left-hand and right-hand hinged and bi-fold doors.

The DS2800 includes a cartridge-style installation. This design makes on-site installation, maintenance and serviceability much easier. DS2800’s components have been revised for hollow aluminium profiles that can be prone to sound resonation with the inclusion of a new accessory kit.

DS2800 is a four-point locking system with Doric’s signature ‘Lift to Lock’ function that uses only the handle to apply four latching points, that other key driven systems cannot reliably achieve without the risk of breaking the key.

This leaves the key lock self-latching latch bolt as independent functions and separate to do what they were designed, key deadlocking and latch closed.

Using handle driven projection bolts the DS2800 can be optioned to include additional top and bottom security bolts. These, when engaged, apply pressure to better square and secure the door against the door seal. This feature becomes necessary on doors over 2400 mm in height because the additional locking points assist to pull the door tightly shut and increasing the doors wind and water performance. This function cannot be achieved reliably using just the key.

For the manufacturer, a revised Mid Guide eliminates additional tab mounting components and makes mounting the lock body simpler saving on manufacturing time. In application, the security has also been improved using a revised over-camming mechanism within the lock mechanism. This over cam prevents the deadlock from being overridden should the locks security be challenged. Additionally, the lock body is made using pressed sheet steel construction to best secure the door, building, and its occupants.

For day-to-day functionality, applying furniture with a snib to the DS2800 lock body is an option that secures the door from being opened by the handle, from the outside, without a key. This feature is fast becoming a standard.

For durability, the DS2800 surpassed Doric’s demanding functionality test, achieving an impressive 100,000 cycles. Furthermore, it has successfully undergone a maximum torque test exceeding Doric’s required 76 Nm with standard hinged furniture applied in a deadlocked configuration.

The DS2800 'Lift to Lock' Mortice Lock Body by Doric sets a new standard in excellence in the Australian fenestration industry.
