4 FEBRUARY 2016 PRO INSTALLER PRO NEWS www.proinstaller.co.uk ROTO’S NEW TWIN-CAM SECURITY LOCK SETS NEW STANDARDS IN BURGLAR-PROOFING Hardware technology giant Roto says a look at the current crime statistics demonstrates the importance of effective burglary protection - practically everywhere across Europe. The company’s new Twin-Cam Security Lock (TSL) sets new standards in burglar-proof outward opening PVCu, timber and aluminium windows starting from a width and height of 305mm. ‘based on the tried and tested Roto NT technology’ The Roto TSL security espagnolette is characterised by a special one-piece espagnolette connecting rod with up to eight locking points. It is based on the tried and tested Roto NT technology. If the window handle is turned, the geared mechanism actuates four adjustable, reverse-action twin cams. This ensures maximum burglary protection based on PAS 24:2012 and increases the sash’s gasket-compression on the frame. Two screws fix the twin cams’ strikers to the profile and prevent them from twisting, even if a great force is applied. As the Roto TSL security espagnolette has left-right or double-sided strikers, windows fitted with this security espagnolette also provide an integrated night ventilation function. Thanks to its compact design, the new Roto TSL security espagnolette is also ideal for installation in extremely small, 305mm to 1,600mm high or wide windows as well as in a large range of different profiles. The espagnolette is available for 20mm and 22mm back sets and can be used in a euro-standard groove and euro-flat groove. It is delivered with the standard unique Roto Sil Nano surface-finish quality. This means that it is extremely scratch-resistant and provides outstanding corrosion protection. The new Roto TSL provides window fabricators with an extremely easy-to-install security espagnolette. Its flexibility reduces manufacturing costs, while all of the required individual components’ clear labelling minimizes the risk of installation errors. Its 8 and 9.5mm high locking cams enable a +/- 1mm variable gasket-compression adjustment.
