Product Details

Andersen 5-Point Active Lock – FWH68 (2579774)

This Andersen 5-point active lock mechanism is designed for double active Stormwatch (AP/PA) hinged patio door units. It provides enhanced security with five locking points: a deadbolt, two hooks, and shootbolts at both the top and bottom of the door.

This lock fits door panels measuring 76-1/2 inches (1943mm) in height, corresponding to the FWH68 door size. The lock face is stamped with "2579774-5F" for easy identification, where the "5" indicates a 5-point locking system.

If your door only has three locking points (no shootbolts), you need part 2579771 instead.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I change the handing on this Andersen multipoint lock?
