Over the past two decades, over 22 million PVCu and composite doors have been fitted throughout the UK, but now many older multipoint locks are reaching the end of their lifecycle and failing. Until now, there has been a limited choice of replacement multipoint locks available on the market, especially genuine ‘like for like’ replacements, meaning that end users have resorted to replacing their entire door. The speed of availability and the sheer number of lock lines required to replace existing locks has also made it difficult for locksmiths to service this market effectively. Yale’s Doormaster™ range of replacement multipoint door locks allows locksmiths to offer a ready solution to their customers, thanks to a cleverly designed, compact range of replacement door locks. The range includes a Professional series, developed with locksmiths in mind, which utlises ‘crop and mate’ technology to provide a suitable 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 Universal Doormaster™ multipoint door lock for PVCu doors.
