THE LATEST evolution of Yale's trusted multipoint locking platform, Lockmaster 24 brings SensCheck™ compatible innovation to a product built on robust mechanical performance. At its core is a 20mm deep throw centre hook, designed to deliver strong engagement and consistent security every time the door is locked.
An enhanced security centre case adds strength where it matters most, while Lockmaster's signature hook and pin configuration helps improve resistance to attack. Together, these features provide dependable protection across a wide range of door applications.
Lockmaster 24's SensCheck™ compatibility is enabled through the keep solution, removing the need for additional routing and making adoption straightforward for fabricators and installers. Through the Yale Smart Home Alarm app, SensCheck™ Sensors also provides real-time door status updates, allowing users to check whether their door is open, closed, locked or unlocked from anywhere.
Designed, developed and manufactured in Britain, Lockmaster 24 reflects Yale's commitment to innovation in response to evolving standards and changing market demands.
It offers continuity and reliability across PVCu, aluminium, composite and timber door applications.
Crucially, Lockmaster 24 supports complete doorsets designed to meet the latest PAS 24:2022+A1:2024 requirements, which supersede PAS 24:2022 and PAS 24:2016. This helps customers stay aligned with evolving specification demands aimed at addressing modern burglary attack methods.
The lock is backed by the Yale Lifetime Total Trust Guarantee, worth up to £5,000 in support and compensation in the event of a break-in, and is Secured by Design (SBD) approved, highlighting its role in safeguarding homes and helping to prevent crime.
Brett Evans, Technical Director for ASSA ABLOY Residential, comments: "Lockmaster 24 is built on the proven mechanical security Yale is trusted for, while delivering the added value of smart compatibility."
"By supporting compliance with PAS 24:2022+A1:2024, it gives customers confidence that they are specifying a solution engineered to meet the latest security expectations and regulatory requirements."
THE SMART REVOLUTION – and why mechanical security still matters
WITH SMART devices continuing to gain ground in the UK, Nicola Cavill, Fenestration Product Manager Door Locks & Hardware - discusses the need for mechanical excellence as well as digital technology when it comes to security.
Smart technology continues to grow in popularity, with 31% of Brits planning to buy a smart device in the next year and 46% saying smart tech improves their quality of life.
It’s a trend driven largely by convenience. With smart home security, homeowners can keep an eye on their property in real-time, receiving alerts about suspicious activities and interacting with visitors via smart doorbells and cameras.
Not only this, but devices such as smart locks, alarms, cameras, and sensors can all be integrated via a central platform. This creates a smart security ecosystem, ensuring they work together for a seamless user experience.
However, when it comes to security, smart technology should be a complement to mechanical excellence – never a replacement for it.
THE LOCKMASTER 24 MULTIPOINT LOCK
A perfect example of this is our Yale Lockmaster 24 multipoint lock, which combines proven mechanical security with smart capability while supporting complete doorsets designed to meet PAS 24:2022+A1:2024 requirements.
The latest evolution of our trusted multipoint locking platform, Lockmaster 24 brings smart innovation to a product built on robust mechanical performance. At its core is a 20mm deep throw centre deadbolt, designed to deliver strong engagement and consistent security every time the door is locked.
An enhanced security centre case adds strength where it matters most, while Lockmaster’s signature hook and pin configuration helps improve resistance to attack. Together, these features provide dependable protection across a wide range of door applications.
At the same time, Lockmaster 24 is compatible with Yale SensCheck™, which utilises smart technology to provide homeowners with ‘instant connected security status’. This enables them to protect the things that matter most and be sure of their door and window security for instant peace of mind.
SensCheck™ Door and Window Sensors have also achieved Secured by Design’s Secure Connected Device accreditation and the BSI IoT Kitemark, reinforcing their credentials for both connected security and product assurance.
As a result, homeowners can be notified via the Yale Smart Living Alarm App if their doors are open or closed, locked or unlocked, and whether their windows are closed, open or in the night vent position.
Lockmaster 24’s SensCheck™ compatibility is enabled through the keep solution, removing the need for additional routing and making adoption straightforward for fabricators and installers.
THE SENSCHECK™ KEEP MOUNTED SENSOR
Another recent development is our launch of a new keep-mounted SensCheck™ L2 Door sensor, which is compatible with the Lockmaster AutoEngage and Lockmaster 28mm multi-point door locks. This innovation ensures that every lock sold is smart-compatible, eliminates the need for modifications, and is easy to install.
The SensCheck™ Door and Window Sensor range now works with a wider variety of home entry points, including:
- Composite and PVCu doors
- Side and bi-fold doors
- PVCu casement windows
- Aluminium windows
So whether it’s your front door, bifold door, or a window upstairs, SensCheck™ helps keep your home connected and protected.
Additionally, SensCheck™ window sensors are now compatible with newly launched Dual Lock window lock range, alongside our Musang Shootbolt and Rapide window locks. This enhanced compatibility makes it even easier for fabricators and installers to integrate smart security solutions into both PVCu and aluminium windows.
The smart revolution is continuing apace, with connected devices increasingly embedded into our lives. Choose your products from a trusted manufacturer with many decades of experience and you will get the best of both worlds: mechanical know-how and the latest smart technology working together.
