ModLok – Modular Hardware System
from Liniar
3rd July 2012

ModLok modular hardware, is the latest innovation from Liniar. Working in partnership with Yale Hardware, Liniar has developed ModLok* modular hardware and in doing so have combined hardware and reinforcement into one modular part.

Speaking for Liniar Technical Director Adrian Redshaw says “as a company our path is clear, we are committed to designing innovative products that give our customers something better performing than the products which are already in the market. At the same time we are helping them to reduce fabrication time and overall production costs whilst giving them products with a genuine sales advantage over those of their competitors. Partnering with Yale Hardware was a natural fit for us on this product and brings all their experience to the development of a brand new industry concept”.

“The first application for the ModLok is on the soon to be launched inline sliding Patio Plus system that combines aesthetic appeal and great thermal performance with strength and security. The PVCu and hardware elements have been designed together as a system, meaning that both elements are wholly complimentary in their use, and there is no reliance on having to make a standard market product fit.”

“The patented design of the system has enabled us to develop a product which we believe will really excite the market. The easy glide and silent movement of the patio in operation is a great selling point for our fabricators, and installers of the Liniar system, and the sculptured multi chamber design means that the Patio Plus already exceeds the thermal performance requirements of legislation coming to market in 2013 using the most cost effective sealed unit configuration. It also offers six point locking including two genuine shootbolts, and another great feature for the end user is that all locking points are concealed even with the door in the open position, giving the first anti ligature patio door”.

The new Patio Plus compliments Liniar’s existing range of ‘Energy Plus’ window and door products. This is the first application for ModLok, but is, says Adrian “only the start of a whole programme of innovations which we believe will raise the bar in the industry on products which have often been neglected by systems companies when investment in research and development are considered”.
