New Yale Lockmaster 24 Multipoint Lock combines proven mechanical security with SensCheck™ capability

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.”

Why Ultion developed ALPS Plus

WHEN ULTION ALPS launched, it was the first cylinder to pass the updated PAS24:2022 + A1:2024 standard and the Sold Secure Diamond 2024 test. At the time, no other cylinder on the market could say the same.

The industry has moved on since then. Other manufacturers have caught up with the standard, which is exactly what should happen. Higher compliance across the board is good for everyone, including homeowners.

But at Ultion, meeting a standard has never been the finish line.

How testing has evolved

The compliance deadline is approaching and any cylinder supplied into PAS24 applications must meet the updated standard. The same applies to Sold Secure SS312, which has been updated to include the same four additional attack methods.

What’ s less well understood is that beyond the written standard, the way products are actually tested has also evolved. Accredited test houses in the UK are now applying more sophisticated techniques within the existing test parameters. A cylinder can pass the standard and still not hold up to the methods being used in practice. Scott Brittain, Head of Technical at Ultion, explains:“ The standard itself hasn’ t changed, but the way products are being tested has evolved. We’ ve developed ALPS Plus specifically to withstand the techniques now being used by accredited test houses, not just to meet the minimum required on paper.”

What ALPS Plus offers

ALPS Plus is Ultion’ s most secure cylinder, built on the foundation of ALPS but enhanced to keep pace with how testing and real-world attack methods are developing. It is fully PAS24:2022 + A1:2024 compliant, meets the updated Sold Secure SS312 2024 standard and comes with KeyControl as standard to block unauthorised key copies. It is available in keyed alike sets so one key can open every Ultion lock on a property and features a thick dimple key for added resistance to snapping.

ALPS Plus is available to trade now. Contact your Ultion account manager or visit www. brisant-secure. com / login / for more information.
