GET INTO GEAR WITH ‘ UNCONQUERABLE ’ HARDWARE
» VBH HAS ADDED THE INVICTA shootbolt locking system for outward opening windows to its greenteQ range . With a name that Latins used for ‘ unconquered or unvanquished ’ Invicta will be covered by the Q-secure homeowner security guarantee scheme , which promises to pay the homeowner up to £ 8000 in compensation if a break in is successfully achieved due to hardware failure .
VBH Marketing Manager Gary Gleeson says the moniker is “ very apt when you see how well it performs during PAS24 testing .” The system consists of a gearbox , in a choice of industry standard 20 or 22mm
backsets , and a series of extensions to cover sash sizes up to 1540mm . The extensions are connected to the gearbox and secured in place by an attractive central cover plate , which clearly announces the shootbolt as a greenteQ product .
The shootbolts themselves can be set to project by 15mm through the striker plate and penetrate into the profile if desired , or to a lesser projection if preferred . A comprehensive range of night vent mushroom strikers and shootbolt strikers is available .
