Hardware & Security

Slim Letterplate Provides the Perfect Answer

» YALE HAS INTRODUCED the Postmaster Professional TS008 Slim Letterplate , its most streamlined design to date , offering top-tier security , exceptional durability , and a modern , sleek look .
THE HIGHEST STANDARDS
The Yale Postmaster Professional TS008 Slim Letterplate provides unbeatable peace of mind by meeting the rigorous standards of TS008:2022 . It is also accredited by Secured by Design ( SBD ), further testament to its exacting security . Studies show that SBD-recognised developments are up to 75 % less likely to be burgled and exhibit a reduction of 25 % in criminal damage .
In addition , the updated letterplate meets the stringent requirements of FD30 and
FD60 when tested as part of a door set , PAS24:2022 , and Approved Document Q .
INNOVATIVE SECURITY FEATURES
The new letterplate boasts several innovative features that equip it to withstand attacks from burglars . Among these is its Barrier Protection system , which features dual side plate shields that automatically extend when the internal flap is opened , offering additional security by blocking external access to the thumb-turn or key .
CombShield defence technology adds an additional
layer of security . Obstructing the view through the letterplate , it prevents attackers from visually gauging the position of items inside the home . This clever technology works by incorporating comb-like teeth that act as barriers , reducing the ability for a fishing road to move side-to-side and potentially preventing the retrieval of items like keys or small valuables .
Brett Evans , Technical Director at Yale , comments : “ With entry through an unlocked door dropping from 15 % to 10 % , more
homeowners appear to be locking their doors . However , 62 % of burglars still enter through the front of the house . This suggests burglars are increasingly finding new – such as fishing for keys through the letterplate .
“ Our new Postmaster Professional TS008 Slim Letterplate provides the perfect answer . To provide even more peace of mind , it also comes with a 10-year Mechanical Guarantee and a 25-year Surface Finish Guarantee .”
