DEMONSTRATING ITS innovative approach to product design , ERA , the security expert has introduced a new patio door hook locking solution whose ‘ Integrated Dog Bolt ’ feature , slimline gearbox and unique locking clusters solve several challenges commonly faced by fabricators and installers .
It is generally accepted that unsightly plunge bolts ruin the clean lines of patio doors , and they do not generally meet the building access requirements of Approved Document M . In addition , fitting them involves routing , which can be difficult and time-consuming , aligning them with associated keeps can be problematic , and re-aligning them is sometimes required on site after installation . Also , the cost of their purchase and fitting in the factory can be high .
|
The integrated dog bolt in ERA ’ s new patio door lock solution does away with all of these problems , and is considerably more costeffective when the overall product cost , including manufacturing labour and adjustments on site , are taken into account .
A twelve point lock version of the new patio door solution featuring the new dog bolt interlock means it can be used as part of a complete door to achieve compliance with PAS24 2016 . In
|
addition , it is designed to achieve both Approved Document Q and Document M , and is TS007 compliant .
The new solution is compatible with both of ERA ’ s Euro Cylinder and Invincible Cylinder , and since the Invincible 3 star-accredited cylinder is the most cost-effective solution on the market , this is a great differentiator for fabricators and installers .
It is ideally used with the Fab & Fix Pembroke handle ,
|
whose extended lever is designed to accommodate reduced operating forces . This ensures it is easier to operate by the elderly or infirm , making compliance with Approved Document M simpler .
The new patio door lock solution can be used as part of ERA ’ s ‘ Total Security Guarantee ’, the most comprehensive guarantee on the market , which provides fabricators and installers with a valuable selling tool at no extra cost . Once a property is protected by ERA ’ s high security hardware , the company guarantees to replace the homeowner ’ s damaged window or door and pay out a cheque for £ 5,000 , in the unlikely event that their security is compromised .
