Offering Installers Real Selling Benefits After last year announcing that all of its SynerJy and Signature window products would be fitted with the new Yale Blade security lock as standard, Pioneer Trading continues its partnership with Yale by including the Yale Shootbolt Window Lock on the same range of window products. Providing optimal levels of weather proofing and security performance making homes more intruder proof, the shootbolt window lock is covered by the Secured by Design security accreditation, and best of all it is specifically designed for Synerjy Double Glazed PVCu Windows. Featuring combination locking technology and a high security shootbolt system, the lock also comes with a 10-year security and mechanical guarantee and is tested to a minimum order 50,000 cycle operational lifespan. Company owner Danny Williams said: “This lock, with its high spec- ification, is the new definition of security in the future. We had no hesitation in fitting the Yale shootbolt window lock as standard and it is a real selling point for every SynerJy and Signature window we supply.” Suitable for all of Pioneer’s Synerjy and Signature Window Systems, covering all window sizes from 326mm to 1420mm, the Yale Shootbolt window lock offers high security shootbolt performance with a minimum number of components. Adjustable mushroom cams offer enhanced anti-separation performance, together with simple compression adjustment. www.pioneertradingcompany.co.uk Recognising that the majority of home improvement product research is now carried out online Freefoam has introduced a clever tool to help specifiers, developers and homeowners visualise the Freefoam colour range of cladding products on a variety of house types.
