Lock & flip hinge part of advanced security solution

» UAP LTD HAS announced the introduction of its innovative 5 Roller 35mm Backset Multipoint Door Lock to the UK market .
UAP Ltd is a leading manufacturer of high-security multipoint locking systems for PVCu , composite , timber , steel , and aluminium doors .
Following its success in Ireland , UAP is now expanding its 5 Roller 35mm Backset Multipoint Door Lock across the UK .
The new lock offers several key features : it is equipped with a fifth roller below the centre , allowing for easier door compression and adjustment . The door frame ’ s one piece keep suits all door profiles by using a profile related packer system . The frame keep can also be adjusted using only
an Allen key , simplifying both fabrication and installation .
The lock ’ s central hook mechanism replaces the traditional deadbolt , offering stronger resistance to forceful entry . Two anti-lift pins further secure the door by preventing it from being lifted when locked . Its top and bottom hooks move in opposite directions , ensuring one remains locked if the other is compromised .
Boasting up to 13 locking points , compared to six or eight in typical locks , the 5 Roller Lock provides unmatched security for 99 % of doors , making it the market leader in adaptable locking systems .
Gareth Davies , Area Sales Manager for the South West , Midlands , and Ireland at UAP Ltd , said : “ The expanded
rollout of this lock is just one example of our commitment to product innovation . Where other companies are happy to follow the status quo and continue using the same lock structures , we ’ re always working to make our door locks
as secure as they can possibly be . Building on our success in Ireland , we ’ re excited to help make UK homes and businesses safer with our advanced security solutions .”
