Stable doors have surged in popularity in recent years, particularly in countryside homes, cottages and farm houses.

Stable doors, which split into two halves, offer unique functionality and charm. They look great in traditional homes, but they are also increasingly used in modern homes to add a touch of quaint tradition.

With more people seeking out a stable door, the demand for high quality locks that work with a top and bottom leaf has grown. The Winkhaus ML95 and ML90 stable door locks have been developed to meet this growing demand.

Offering exceptional security and reliability, the robust multipoint stable door lock from Winkhaus is available as an interlocking and non-interlocking version.

Interlocking stable door lock (ML95)

The interlocking stable door lock (ML95) connects the top and bottom doors, creating one leaf and providing enhanced security and durability.

The Winkhaus ML95 features a robust interlocking mechanism with a shootbolt that securely connects the top and bottom halves of the stable door. This ensures that both sections operate as a single unit, significantly enhancing the door's stability and resistance to forced entry. This design not only boosts security but also helps maintain the structural integrity of the door over time.

Key features

High placement handle - The high placement handle is strategically designed to avoid clashing with door drip details, ensuring a clean and unobstructed look. This thoughtful feature allows for seamless integration into the door's overall design. The elevated handle position also provides ergonomic benefits, making it easier to operate the lock without bending or stretching.

Adjustable roller ball - The adjustable roller ball in the ML95 lock facilitates smooth and effortless opening and closing of the door.

Tapered hooks - The tapered hooks provide superior security by securely locking the door into place, making it difficult for intruders to force entry. Additionally, they enhance weather protection by creating a tighter seal when the door is closed, preventing drafts and water ingress.

Durable finish - The Winkhaus ML95 comes with a durable finish that is suitable for use with acidic timbers and in coastal locations, ensuring longevity and resistance to corrosion. This high-quality finish not only protects the lock from the elements but also maintains its aesthetic appeal over time.

The lock’s resilience to harsh conditions makes it an ideal choice for stable doors exposed to varying weather conditions.

Compatibility - The ML95 lock is compatible with other Winkhaus locks, using the same keeps, which simplifies upgrades and replacements. This also ensures a seamless integration into existing security systems, making it easy to enhance a property’s security without extensive modifications. It also allows homeowners to maintain a consistent locking system across different doors for unified security management.

Non-interlocking stable door lock (ML90)

The ML90 is available as an upper or lower stable door lock, working seamlessly to provide a comprehensive security solution for both sections of a stable door.

Using compatible upper and lower locks simplifies the installation and maintenance processes.

Key features

Tapered hookbolt - The Winkhaus ML90 non-interlocking stable door lock features a tapered locking hookbolt designed to provide excellent security.

This hookbolt ensures a tight and secure lock when the door is closed, making it difficult for intruders to force entry. The tapered design also helps achieve a smoother locking action, contributing to the overall ease of use and reliability of the lock.

High performance sprung centre gearbox - Equipped with a high performance sprung centre gearbox, the ML90 is tested to 100,000 cycles. This ensures it lasts and offers consistent performance, making it a reliable choice for busy households and businesses.

The sprung mechanism also provides a smoother and more responsive locking and unlocking experience.

Lever-operated lock - The lock is lever-operated, providing a straightforward and user-friendly mechanism for securing the upper and/or lower stable door. This design allows for quick and easy locking and unlocking, making it convenient for everyday use. The lever operation also ensures a firm and secure lock, providing peace of mind.

Universal handing - The ML90 is designed with universal handing, meaning it can be installed on either the left or right side of the door. This flexibility makes it a versatile choice for different door configurations, simplifying the installation process for you as a joiner and ensuring that it can be used in a variety of home setups without the need for specific handed versions.
