Patio lock meets Doc Q
24th November 2015

Hardware supplier MI PRODUCTS, in conjunction with Eurocell Profiles, has launched the Secure4life lock and low threshold patio door system that meets Document Q.

Secure4life is a fully-fabricated aluminium interlock with a three-point locking mechanism activated by a small ergonomically-designed lever located 900mm above the floor. At this height it can easily by accessed by all, including wheelchair users, while also meeting the guidelines set out in the Lifetime Homes initiative.

The product was jointly developed with Mila’s in-house product development team.

The Secured by Design-accredited new interlock has three pairs of 304-grade stainless steel interlock protectors and it can be used with both PVC and aluminium profiles.

MI Products Director Ian Searle said: “We developed the Secure4life interlock as a unique, cost-effective and enhanced inline sliding door security solution that is accessible for users of all ages and to meet the particular requirements set by the Lifetime Homes standard.”

Lifetime Homes stipulates 16 Design Criteria that can be universally applied to new homes at minimal cost. Each design feature adds to the comfort and convenience of the home and supports the changing needs of individuals and families at different stages of life.
