HARDWARE&SECURITY YALE’S BLADE REVOLUTION Yale Door and Window Solutions has launched the revolutionary Blade window locking system, incorporating the company’s patented rotary action mechanism delivering multiple benefits to fabricators, installers and homeowners. The system utilises the distinctive new technology to offer a fully retracting window locking system that sits flush within the eurogroove, eliminating cam clash issues. During fabrication the profile can be predrilled to allow the lock and keeps to be fitted at any time, without pre-marking to offer a more flexible and efficient production process. The design also ensures one locking Camden Stand: 128 point height for all profiles, reducing stock holding for multi system users. Yale Blade’s rotary locking action reduces mechanical wear, further eliminating compression loss and ensuring consistent weather-sealing performance for the life of the product; significantly reducing costly call backs. Occupying the full depth of the eurogroove, the Yale Blade provides the window with increased integral strength for meeting the stringent requirements of PAS24 and thus SBD accreditation. The Yale Blade is in an aluminium construction for extensive corrosion resistance, further enhancing product service life, and it is backed by a 12 year mechanical guarantee.
