Opening and closing
Opening doors – unlocking

Turn the key or thumb turn one full turn away from the lock edge to unlock the deadlock.
Push the handle down to retract the hook bolts and the latch. This allows the door to be opened.

Closing doors – locking
Close the unlocked door.
Lift the handle upwards as far as it will go. This engages all hook bolts.
Turn the key or thumb turn one full turn towards the lock edge to deadlock all hook bolts and the latch bolt.
Please make sure that whenever the door is closed the handle is lifted up and turn the key or thumb turn. This fully engages the multipoint locking system into the frame, and make sure the door is secure and draught-free.
Unless you complete step 3, your door is not fully secure.
