Lockwood FESP0052 Secondary Mechanism No Cover
The Lockwood FESP0052 Secondary Mechanism No Cover is a replacement secondary mechanism for compatible Lockwood FLUID exit devices. It is supplied without a cover and is intended for service or replacement work where the existing FLUID device requires the secondary mechanism only.
This item is not a complete panic exit device. It does not include the secondary mechanism cover, main latch assembly, strikes, rods, fixings or external trim. It should be selected only after confirming the installed Lockwood FLUID exit device configuration and the required service part.
The FESP0052 is supplied with No Finish because it is an internal mechanism rather than a visible finished cover. It is commonly used by locksmiths, door hardware installers and maintenance teams servicing Lockwood FLUID panic exit hardware in Australian commercial and industrial sites.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is FESP0052 a complete panic exit device?
No. FESP0052 is the secondary mechanism only. It does not include the complete FLUID exit device or the secondary mechanism cover.
Does this include the cover?
No. This item is supplied without cover. The related secondary mechanism cover is a separate service part.
Can this be ordered without checking the installed device?
It should not be selected blindly. Confirm the installed FLUID device configuration before ordering any internal mechanism or cover service part.
Additional Information
- This part is most relevant to locksmiths, installers and maintenance teams repairing compatible Lockwood FLUID exit devices.
- A common ordering mistake is buying the internal secondary mechanism without the matching cover when the visible cover is also damaged or missing.
- If the exit device has repeated operating issues, inspect the main latch assembly, secondary mechanism, covers, rods, strikes and fixings together.
- Where the door is part of a regulated escape route or fire rated opening, replacement should maintain the original approved hardware configuration.
- For older or heavily used exit hardware, check surrounding parts before completing the repair to avoid repeated call-outs.
