Yale and Force 8 continue stable
partnership with bespoke lock
» » THE LONGSTANDING
partnership between Yale and
Force 8 has been strengthened
after Yale developed a stable
door lock for the company,
enabling its range to gain
PAS24:2016 accreditation.
The bespoke lock delivers
impeccable security, featuring
a hook and anti-lift pin on both
the top and bottom leaf, along
with a combination of hook and
deadbolt centre cases. The new
lock has been carefully designed
to complement both modern
and traditional stable door styles
in the Force 8 range.
The project came about
due to the long-established
relationship. Leading window
and door manufacturer Force
8 has been using Yale’s Mantis
multipoint door lock for over
15 years; it was the quality and
reliability of this lock that led
Force 8 to turn to Yale in its
search for a new stable door
solution.
“The Mantis multipoint
door lock really is a first-class
solution, so we felt confident
that Yale would be able to
produce an excellent stable
lock as well,” explains Dennis
Sumner, Managing Director at
Force 8. “We’re delighted with
the result because it scores
equally high marks for security
and style, which is exactly what
we were after.
“We often look to Yale when
it comes to the security of our
products and find their locks
and service to be very good.
As well as the new stable door
lock and the Mantis lock, we
also use the Yale Platinum 3
Star cylinder, various Yale door
handles, and the Yale Elite
Escutcheon.”
With its new Yale stable lock,
Force 8’s GRP foam-filled stable
door has successfully achieved
PAS24:2016 accreditation.
This demonstrates that it has
satisfied a range of criteria,
based on extensive testing, to
prove it can resist common
methods of attack from
burglars.
Pete Niblock, Area Sales
Manager at Yale Door &
Window Solutions comments:
“We are always happy to
develop bespoke solutions
that meet our customers’ exact
needs.
“Force 8 is a longstanding
and valued Yale customer,
and we took pride in working
closely with them to develop
a solution that looked great
with their stable doors while
also delivering the highest
standards of security.”
Established for 30 years,
family-run Force 8 is one of
the leading manufacturers
and installers of windows and
doors in the Stockport and
Cheshire area.

“ALEXA, LOCK THE DOOR”
Ultion SMART will change how people lock their doors.
» » BRISANT SECURE IS A COMPANY
steeped in the history of the locksmith
sector and has been overwhelmingly
successful in the fenestration market,
with a number of high profile product
innovations including Lock Lock, Ultion
and more recently Sweet. The distinct
‘design house’ approach to research and
development has realised plaudits from
across the industry and beyond.
Ultion is the most secure cylinder
lock on the market, uniquely providing
homes with real security against real-life
attacks. While the patented Lock Lock
has a registered edgeless design and is
unsurpassed in terms of security and
forms part of Sweet. Sweet is redefining
door furniture with a direct to homeowner
warranty and a double life coating that’s
amassed over 8,000-hours in a salt spray
chamber.
Now, Brisant Secure has taken all those
accolades and teamed up with worldwide
electronic access experts Salto, to create
the Ultion SMART. Combining Salto’s tried
and tested Danalock technology, with
Brisant’s 3 Star, Sold Secure Diamond
Ultion - the lock with a £1,000 homeowner
guarantee – Ultion Smart is the SMART
lock which the market has been waiting
for.
Brisant’s team integrated the pit-free
edgeless design of the Sweet door handle,
suited with letterplate, numerals and door
knocker, to create a beautiful smart handle
that works with all technology, looks great,
is easy to fit and comes with maximum
security accreditation. And, not only

unaffected with no external electronics,
but it is the only suited electronic door
handle system.
Ultion SMART works with a Bluetooth
app, Amazon Alexa, Apple HomeKit,
SmartThings and importantly, it works
with a key. Combining your phone’s GPS
and Bluetooth you can have the door
unlock for you when you arrive home
without even touching your phone. Then
when the door is closed it can be set to
automatically lock itself; or if you prefer,
just say ‘Alexa, lock the door’.
Installation to an existing door is as
easy as it is to a new door, because the
handle, 12v battery supply and electronics
are part of a single unit – it takes only two
minutes.
Pre-orders started in May, with first
deliveries due in June. To find out more
