Screw-in , hardened plastic tidy boxes also provide improved longevity and a more aesthetically-pleasing look .

as a chamfered linear bolt for superior security and compression , an oversize deep penetrating hook offering 25mm engagement , and allen key-compression adjustable keeps as standard .
Meeting the new test requirements of PAS 24 to protect against the opportunistic burglar , the range offers the best in strength and durability for all types of external doors . Yale Mantis 4 has been designed , developed , tested and manufactured in the UK , and benefits from recent enhancements that Yale has made to its manufacturing processes . Among these are improving its plastic moulding cell by buying additional moulding machines , updating robots , implementing robotic sub-assembly , and creating a full robotic demoulding ,
sorting , bagging , and boxing solution .
Paul Atkinson , Managing Director at Yale , comments : “ Our new Mantis 4 multipoint door lock significantly improves on the well-established Mantis 3 , which can trace its heritage back to Millenco Hardware , a business that was acquired and integrated with Paddock Fabrications back in the day , before being sold and integrating with Yale in 2010 .
“ In recent years , our plastic moulding cell has really come into its own and we have continually invested in this area of our manufacturing operation with a series of updates . The Yale Mantis 4 certainly benefits from this investment .”
The Mantis 4 comes with the Yale 10-year security
guarantee as standard and can form part of the Yale Security guarantee as part of a door-set .

New Key Wind Lock for Pull Handles

» UAP , THE SPECIALIST IN LOCKS and hardware for doors and windows , has launched a new key wind lock , designed specifically for doors with fixed handles such as pull handles .
Suitable for composite and timber doors , the Fullex Key Wind lock uses a key or thumb turn to engage and retract the bolts and latch . Once the door is closed , the latch can ’ t be operated without the key .
Julian Roberts , Technical Services Director at UAP said : “ The Fullex Key Wind Lock is ideal for use with pull handles on the doors of residential properties , enabling homeowners to benefit from security , reliability , and functionality .
“ If , for example , an intruder tried to open the door just after someone had entered the house with their shopping , they wouldn ’ t be able to get in as the latch would hold the door shut .
“ A further benefit is the lock ’ s simplicity . Other key wind locks on the market require the key to be turned between 360 and 720 degrees . The Fullex Key Wind Lock enables the user to enter the door swiftly and easily .
“ To operate the lock , it takes half a turn to withdraw the bolts , is then returned to original position , then turned again to retract the latch .
“ In addition , we have developed a matching escutcheon , providing the option of a full , cost-effective system , including a pull handle , Key Wind Lock , high security escutcheon and 1 Star cylinder .”
The design of the Fullex Key Wind Lock is based on the Fullex Crimebeater lock , which is engineered to provide long-term reliability and security . Widely specified , Fullex Crimebeater has been fitted to hundreds of thousands of doors in the UK .
