Yale Door and Window Solutions unveils new
developments on AutoEngage multipoint lock
» SINCE ITS LAUNCH IN
2019, Yale’s Lockmaster
AutoEngage lock has made great
developments in quality, durability
and convenience.
The multipoint locking system
is known for combining security
and versatility to create the ideal
solution for a wide range of door
applications. Now, with new
commitments to fire door safety
and sustainability, the AutoEngage
lock continues to set the standard
for both contemporary and
heritage doorsets.
Providing a range of new user
features and benefits, the Yale
Lockmaster AutoEngage multipoint
lock will now be available in
stainless steel as standard, resulting
in advanced product durability,
improved aesthetics and reduced
carbon footprint.
As part of Yale’s commitment
to fire safety, the Lockmaster
AutoEngage is designed and
tested to exceed the requirements
of FD60, when tested as part of a
doorset. The FD60 specification
tests doorsets to withstand at least
60 minutes of protection against
fires.
The AutoEngage lock also
features a new holdback snib to
prevent accidental lockouts; as well
as an automatic lock mechanism
which engages as soon as the door
is closed – making it ideal for
the growing trend in non-lever
operational door styles.
Available for both composite
and timber doors, and with
backsets now available in
45mm, 55mm, and 65mm, the
AutoEngage is designed and built
to Yale’s exacting standards.

Thanks to a unique gearbox
design, the system can be used with
either key retract or lever operation
furniture, making it suitable for a
wide range of applications.
Paul Atkinson, Sales and
Commercial Director at Yale
comments: “We are so pleased to
announce our developments on the
Lockmaster AutoEngage, and we
are always working towards a more
durable, sustainable and accessible
future for all our product ranges.
“The AutoEngage system is
designed to offer leading installation
tolerance to aid easy fitting, and is
also extremely easy to use – therefore
ideal for residents with limited
dexterity. We hope this product will
add convenience as well as improved
security to homes across the UK.”
