    Automatic Lock Arm Awnings

    Automatic lock arm awnings are a type of awning that uses a spring-loaded mechanism to lock the awning arms in place. This makes them ideal for windy conditions, as they are less likely to be blown away. Automatic lock arm awnings are also easy to operate. They can be opened and closed using a simple pull cord, crank, or remote control. This makes them a convenient option for homeowners of all ages and abilities.

    With five different styles, Apollo has an Awning to suit almost every application. Automatic Lock Arm Awnings has a spring-loaded top roller, and guide rails fitted flush to wall with standout arms. This awning is adjusted by guiding the arms up and down the rails. It will automatically lock in, when the arms are released in a 90⁰ position. It is operated by hand from outside, and resists high winds. (This product is manufactured in Australia)

    Frequently Asked Questions

    An automatic lock arm awning is a spring-loaded external awning designed to provide shade and privacy while allowing airflow. The fabric rolls up around a top tube and can be locked into position at various heights using side guide rails and self-locking arms — perfect for windows that need easy, adjustable shading.

    They’re ideal for ground-floor and first-floor windows that are easy to reach from outside. This style is popular for homes that want strong sun protection on west-facing windows, while still allowing natural ventilation.

    The awning features pivoting lock arms that slide up and down guide rails. When you pull the awning down, the spring tension holds it firmly in place. Simply push the bottom rail out slightly to release it and allow the awning to retract smoothly.

    They’re designed primarily for sun protection, so they should be rolled up during strong winds or heavy rain. For higher wind-rated solutions, Apollo also offers Pivot Arm or Straight Drop Awnings that can be motorised and securely fixed in place.
