24 | JUNE 2019 All Doors BE A DOORMASTER WITH YALE Multipoint locks make up a staggering 80% of the UK lock market, and with tens of thousands failing each year, Yale’s revolutionary range of Doormaster™ replacement multipoint locks allow locksmiths to capitalise on a number of sales opportunities. Yale’s Doormaster™ range of replacement multipoint locks allows locksmiths to offer a ready solution to their customers, thanks to a cleverly designed, compact range of replacement locks. The range includes a Profession- al series, developed with installers in mind, which utilises ‘crop and mate’ technology to provide a suit- able replacement multipoint lock for the majority of PVCu, timber and composite doors. This range consists of just five SKUs, making it an ideal solution for the mobile professional, ensuring the job can be completed quickly without the need to replace the existing lock ‘like for like’. The range also includes the Doormaster™ Adjustable, a high security DIY fit solution for PVCu doors, as well as a one-piece STEP BY STEP GUIDE Universal Doormaster™ multipoint lock for PVCu doors. Also forming part of Yale’s Doormaster™ offering is a range of replacement gearboxes for many of the most popular multi- point locks, as well as replacement ‘overnight locks’, which cover 90% of the market where temporary door security is required. Last but by no means least, the range includes the PAS 3261 Doormaster™ – the first retrofit multipoint lock in the market that allows users to maintain accredi- tation on existing “PAS 24 doors”, without needing to fit exactly the same lock as was supplied with the door. PAS 3621 is now specified as the benchmark stand- ard for multipoint locks in The Building Regulations’ Approved Document Q new build properties, mirroring the BS 3621 standard for locks fitted to external wooden doors. This gives a distinct advan- tage to trade professionals, as a suitable replacement can be fitted on an initial visit from a small range of van stock, as opposed to ordering a lock and repeating the visit at a later date to complete the installation. 1 The step by step illustrations show the Yale Doormaster™ Professional being installed. Designed with the professional installer in mind, this lock includes flexible ‘crop and mate’ technology, which maximises the scope of installation.
