Description

The Opus Smart Lock Balustrade System is a frameless (or semi-frameless) glass channel system, which can be used as a balustrade or pool fence for residential or commercial applications. The continuous channel system has no visible fixings and can be recessed for a completely frameless look, as well as top or side fixed. 

The unique design uses a special high strength hollow-core aluminium extrusion and special (single-side adjustment) glass clamp kits that secure and locate the glass into the aluminium section.

Smart Lock's clever locating and adjusting technique allows installers to adjust the glass panels once in place, with a turn of a spanner. The single-sided adjustment and locking eliminates the need for scaffold or external access during glass fitment around balconies or other areas protecting a fall, saving on installation time.

  • Accommodates 12mm to 21.52mm glass types
  • The Smart Lock System can be base fixed (top) or side fixed (face) mounted into timber, steel or concrete
  • Smart Lock's clever locating and adjusting technique allows installers to adjust the glass panels once in place, with a turn of a spanner
