HOLIDAY LOCK INCREASES HOME SECURITY
Door and window hardware specialist ERA has introduced a novel locking system to boost security when properties are periodically unoccupied – adding an extra level of protection when going on holiday. Aptly named Holiday Lock, the new system is a deadbolt mechanism which complements the existing multipoint lock. Capable of exceeding the requirements of PAS 24 2012, the unique aspect of the lock is its secondary single-sided locking point with no escutcheon on the interior side of the door, it can only be operated from the outside. Brett Evans explains the thinking behind this innovative design: “A common method among thieves is to enter a property via a rear window, then V???6?F?Rg&??BF??"g&??F?R??6?FR?F?6''??WB?&vR?V6W2?bWV??V?B7V6?2Eg2v?F??WB7W7?6??????vWfW"?'?V?&??rF?RF??"F?&RFVF??6?VBg&??F?RW?FW&??6?FR?F?W&R?2???76?&??G??b&V?V6??rF?R???F???6?g&??v?F???F?R&?W'G??f?&6??r??G'VFW'2F?W??BF?R6?Rv?F?W?V?FW&VB?&VGV6??rF?R?76?&??G??b?&vR???v??f?VR?FV?2&V??r&V??fVB?( ?F?RU$???F???6??ffW'2WV?f?V?BgV?7F????G?F?%2c#66???6??v?F?F?RFF?F????&V?Vf?G2?b?V?F????B??6???r?f?6?Bwwr?W&6V7W&?G??6???V?????f?W&?6V7W&?G??6???"6???#"C??4T5U$??U???E$?ET4U24?5BTddT5D?dR?U?E$4???r4??UD????6V7W&??W??2?V?6?VBF?R?Wr?W?6fR???v?6V7W&?G??W?6&??WBF??G2'&?B?'Ff????b??6?6?6V7W&?G?&?GV7G2?6??&????rG&?VB?BFW7FVB&V?&??G?v?F??WrfVGW&W2?F?R?W?6fR???B???&?f?FW2&?'W7Bf6??G?v?W&R?W?26?&R6fV?7F?&VB?B??vVB?F?RFW6?v??6???6?'?&FW26??WF???F?B?ffW'2VffV7F?fR?W?G&6???r6&??F?W2( 2f?F?gV?7F???f?"?6F???2??v??6??&vRf??V?R?b?W?2&R&V??rW6VB?fW"W&??B?bF??R???FF?F???F???W?????2?F?R?W?6fR??6?fVGW&W2R6??6VB???????2???6FVB??F?R&V"?bF?RF??"??B?27W?VBv?F?#72F?W"&W6?7F?B6V?2W6VBF?f7FV?6V?V7FVB?W?2F?F?R6??6VB???2?V?7W&??rF?W?6???B&R&V??fVBv?F??WBFWFV7F????F??26???R?WB????fF?fRGf?6V?V?BV?&?W2F?R7W7F??W"F??6??FRWF?R??F?f?GV??W?2F?B???VVBF?&RV6??66W76?&?R???V?W&vV?7?'WBF?B?W7B&R????F?&VBF?V?7W&RF?W?&R??B&V??fVB?B&W?6VBv?F??WBWF??&?6F????VffV7F?fR??vV?V?B?2?FRV7?v?F?F?R??6?W6????b???FW?6&B??W?F'2?&??w2?B?V?&W'2?wwr?6V7W&??W??6??V???T( ?2????fF?fR?WGFW'?FRFW6?v?v?F???FP??WGFW'?FRFW6?v?2?fR&VV?&F?W"7Fv??Bf?"6??RF??R?'WB??r?2TF?V?F?R?WGFW'?FRF?F?R?W?B?WfV?v?F??G2??FR??B?2g&?V?W72FW6?v??FV?BV?F??r6?gB6??6R?V6???6??6?'&?6????&??b6??7G'V7F????V??VRV??7'V?r???vR?BFV?BV?F??r?v?WF?2( ?6?6?F?6??6^( ?fVGW&R???7?&F???f?"F?R?WGFW'?FR6?Rg&???V?W7V??6R2Ff?B?V????w2??Bf?"T?FBW????3?( ?F???F?R?FVf?"F?R6?gB6??6R?V6???6???F?R??FRg&??F???WB6VB?B??W2W&fV7B6V?6R?B7F?2F?R&?&?V??bF?Rf?6???r&6???F?F?R?7F??( ?2??B?( ?F?R&??????v26??7V?FVBGW&??rF?RFW6?v?&?6W72F?V?7W&RF?B?B?2&?F??7F???B6???Bg&?V?F????R?F?W"T?WGFW'?FW2F?R( ?''W6?W>( ?&R??F?R?WG6?FR?????r?BV6?W"f?"?WGFW'2F?&RW6?VBF?&?Vv??BWGF??r7F?F?V?v?FVB?FV?2&V??rW6?VB??F?F?R6f?G??F?R??FR?2f??&?R2'B?bT( ?2( ?f?B?Bf?&vWN( ???F?6VB&?vR?Bf?"&V2v?F???v?6?B?WfV?2?7V6?26?7F?&Vv???2??"??v????WF????T( ?2???6?7B&?vRv??6?&?FV7G2v??7B6?'&?6?????B?2?fWF??RwV&?FVR?c@??D?R?T??Tr#2?55TR5??4?$TB%??E$?DtP??F?&VB??&R?f?6?Bwwr???6?6?F???W&???6??V????
