HARDWARE
SECURITY WINDOW LOCK MEETS FABRICATORS ’ NEEDS
» HARDWARE SPECIALIST VBH has introduced the brand new greenteQ Securitas Security Window Espagnolette .
Securitas sits alongside the entry level greenteQ Window Espagnolette and popular PAS24 tested Invicta Window Shootbolt to provide three lock options for manufacturers of outward opening windows .
VBH Marketing Manager Gary Gleeson says : “ Fabricators have told the greenteQ what they want from a window lock all through the development phase so we know that Securitas meets their needs .”
Securitas features pairs of mushroom headed cams that lock into both sides of a night vent striker plate . VBH advise that these double cam locking points are extremely strong as they spread the load if the window is attacked rather than allowing all the force to be concentrated on one point .
Each Securitas lock has a minimum of four mushroom cams ( two pairs ) with the larger sizes boasting four pairs .
Securitas is as quick to fit as a standard espagnolette as all fixings are applied in the same direction and there are no extensions to fit ; the new window lock comes with industry standard 20 and 22mm backsets to ensure compatibility with most current window systems .
