Brand snapshot
  • Full name: Union (Assa Abloy Group)
  • Origin: UK / part of Assa Abloy Group
  • Specialism: Mortice locks, panic hardware, commercial door fittings
  • Flagship products: Union 2200 5-lever sashlock · Union ASW deadlock · Union J-Force panic hardware

Union is one of the long-established UK commercial lock brands, now part of Assa Abloy Group. Union 5-lever sashlocks and mortice cases appear widely across UK commercial side and rear entrance doors, education and healthcare buildings. We work the full Union commercial range with same-day spares on the common items.

Key points
  • Union 2200-series 5-lever sashlocks are common on UK commercial side and rear entrance doors.
  • Union ASW deadlocks and 2200 sashlocks are typically BS 3621-rated and meet UK commercial insurance specifications.
  • Union J-Force panic hardware is specified on commercial emergency-exit installations.
  • Spares come through Assa Abloy UK distribution with same-day availability on common items.

What we install and repair from the Union range

5-lever sashlocks and deadlocks: the Union 2200 sashlock and ASW deadlock are the two most-common Union cases we replace on UK commercial doors. Both are typically BS 3621-rated and meet insurance specifications. See door hardware repair.

Panic hardware: Union J-Force push-bar and touchbar panic hardware appears on commercial emergency exits. See panic hardware repair, push bar.

Cylinders and key control: Union cylinders are usually paired with the 2200 sashlock case; we replace cylinders independently of the case where required.

Common Union faults

Sashlock mechanism wear — lever springs lose tension over 12–18 years; case replacement is the standard fix.

Cylinder wear — standard key-cycle end-of-life. Cylinder replacement, keying preserved where required.

Panic hardware spring fatigue on the J-Force — spring kit replacement is the fix.

Sourcing and stock

Common Union spares (2200 sashlock cases, ASW deadlocks, J-Force panic hardware components) come through Assa Abloy UK distribution with same-day availability. We carry the highest-volume items on the vans for same-day fitting.

Compliance and insurance

Union mortice locks rated to BS 3621 meet UK commercial property insurance specifications for external commercial doors. Where a non-rated Union case is on an external door, insurance compliance may require an upgrade — we document the BS rating at point of fitting.

Frequently asked

Quick answers on Union

01 Is Union still a separate brand from Yale and ASSA?

Union, Yale and ASSA are all part of the Assa Abloy Group but remain separate product brands with separate ranges. Insurance specifications calling out Union by name refer to Union-branded product specifically.

02 Are Union 2200 sashlocks BS 3621-rated?

The BS-rated variants are; not all 2200 cases carry the rating. We supply BS 3621-rated equivalents as default on commercial replacement work where the policy or specification requires it.

03 Can a Union case be replaced with a Yale equivalent?

Often yes — case dimensions are usually compatible. For insurance specifications calling out Union by name, replacement must be Union-branded; for generic BS 3621 specifications, Yale or ASSA equivalents are acceptable.

04 How long does a Union sashlock typically last?

12–18 years between case replacements on moderate-traffic commercial doors. High-traffic doors see replacements at 6–10 years.
