lock in the market that
allows users to maintain
accreditation 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
standard for multipoint locks
in The Building Regulations’
Approved Document Q,
mirroring the BS 3621
standard for locks fitted to
external wooden doors. This
gives a distinct advantage
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.
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.
‘Yale’s
Doormaster™ range
of replacement
multipoint locks
allows locksmiths
to offer a ready
solution’
