HARDWARE& SECURITY
RIGHT FOR NIGHT SHOOTBOLT
» » THE SECURITY SPECIALISTS AT YALE
have launched a new Shootbolt lock to fit modern
flush sash systems that offers the usual security
credentials you would expect from Yale, with the
additional convenience of a night vent facility.
Along with chamfered security shootbolts,
the new Shootbolt variant features a secondary
cam. This addition allows for the ‘night
vent’ position which enables the window to
be partially opened but still locked via the
window handle. This position offers a means
of ventilation and can improve the air quality
in a home but should only be used when
someone is inside the property as the lock is
more secure when fully closed.
Manufactured to the highest specifications
and complying with British security standards,
the Yale Shootbolt Flush Sash Window
Lock delivers superior security performance;
safeguarding homes from intruders. It also
helps to protect against the elements by
delivering optimal levels of weather-proofing.
Windows fitted with a Yale Shootbolt on
flush sash as part of a Yale PAS 24 specification
are also protected by Yale’s ‘Lifetime Security
Guarantee*’ which allows fabricators and
installers to take advantage of Yale’s reputation
for excellence with the consumer.

A Reputation to Protect
» » QUALITERE WINDOWS IS THE
latest installation company to fit Lock Lock
security handles as standard. After on-site
testing and both employee and customer
surveys, Joint Owner Martin Harris
announced the move, fitting all 20 showroom
doors with Brisant Secure’s Lock Lock.
“Lock Lock’s performance and security are
first-class but it’s also the clear market leader
in anti-corrosion,” says Martin. “Pitting
and tarnishing is an issue in the hardware
industry, but we’ve never bought cheap
products as we have a reputation to protect.
Customers come to us for top-of-the-range
quality, so we needed a secure handle that
would stay looking good. After trialling and
feedback from customers on the functionality
and looks, I was so impressed I made Lock
Lock the standard option rather than an
upgrade.”
Qualitere Windows is a family-run business
in the East Midlands. “We’d been looking to
improve our premium security handle offer for
a while,” continues Martin. “We got a fantastic
reception when we started fitting Brisant’s
Ultion cylinders as standard over a year ago,
and I knew Lock Lock could be another game
changer for us.”
