Shootbolt for flush sash
21st November 2017

YALE has launched a new shootbolt lock to fit modern flush sash systems , offering the usual security credentials with the additional convenience of a night vent facility.

Sales and commercial director Paul Atkinson said: “The developing UK fenestration market has seen huge growth in flush sash systems offering both a traditional and contemporary aesthetics. We have enhanced our proven shootbolt range with a lock to suit flush sash systems, allowing homeowners to achieve the look they desire, without compromising on security.

“The Yale shootbolt system has variants suitable for flush sash and French casement, as well as standard casement styles. The new lock is available with a choice of cropping and non-cropping variants to suit a variety of manufacturing and stocking preferences.”

Along with chamfered security shootbolts, the new variant features a secondary cam, which allows for the ‘night vent’ position, so enabling the window to be partially opened but still locked via the window handle. This position offers a means of ventilation in a home but should only be used when someone is inside the property as the lock is more secure when fully closed.

The lock is Secured by Design accredited, PAS 24: 2016 compliant and backed by Yale’s 10-year mechanical guarantee.

Windows fitted with a Yale Shootbolt on flush sash as part of a Yale PAS 24 specification are also protected by Yale’s ‘Lifetime Security Guarantee*’ which allows fabricators and installers to take advantage of Yale's reputation for excellence with the consumer.
