New locking system further enhances security credentials

» EPWIN WINDOW SYSTEMS HAS further enhanced the security credentials of its PatioMaster Sliding Door System with the introduction of a new and exclusive Yale 10-Point Locking System .
Designed in collaboration with Yale , a global leader in security solutions , the new Yale 10-Point Locking System redefines door security by delivering the equivalent of a standard lock plus additional shootbolts at the top and bottom of the sash . By incorporating this advanced 10-point locking mechanism in addition to the Yale 3 * cylinder , the PatioMaster Sliding Door System has exceeded the stringent requirements of PAS24:2022 enhanced security accreditation , underscoring the company ’ s commitment to security excellence .
Commenting on the upgrade , Phil Parry , Technical Director at Epwin Window Systems , said : “ The introduction of the new PAS24 Yale 10-Point Locking System further demonstrates our commitment to adopting and meeting the latest industry standards . The high security locking system ensures the operational forces are within the allowable limits and delivers a step-change in door hardware security for our customers ”.
Every component of the PatioMaster System is impressive and has been intelligently designed to elevate its technical performance . A new sash profile increases glazing options and means the system offers outstanding thermal performance with U-values as low as 1.0 W / m 2 K with triple glazing . It also has class-leading weather performance and has achieved a market-leading wind loading of 1600Pa which means PatioMaster is the superior sliding door solution for coastal or highrise properties .
Compared to mass market offerings , the PatioMaster doors are 33 % stronger by design . And a new interlock prevents intruders from prising the panes open to gain entry . The door system delivers enhanced performance with superior aesthetics , while self-levelling rollers ensure an easy-glide operation , making it a pleasure to use .
Phil concluded : “ PatioMaster has always brought the reassurance of a tried and tested brand with an exceptional market pedigree . With the new Yale 10-Point High Security Locking System and PAS24:2022 accreditation , the high-security benefits build on an already powerful proposition .”
