Yale has officially launched the Yale Dual Lock – a next-generation window locking solution that combines superior mechanical strength, streamlined installation, and full smart home integration. Developed with fabricators, installers, and homeowners in mind, the Dual Lock range delivers high-performance security with modern convenience.
Offering compatibility with PVC, aluminium, and timber window systems and designed for efficiency on the factory floor and on-site, the Dual Lock system features minimal routing preparation, reducing both installation time and complexity with its comprehensive range:
- Three backsets: 20mm, 22mm, 26mm
- Three cam heights: 7.7mm, 9.0mm, 10.5mm
- Eleven standard lengths and nine low-handle-height lengths
- Croppable and extendable Shootbolt options covering sash sizes from 312mm to 1,572mm
Fully compatible with Yale SensCheck™ smart sensors, the Dual Lock range enables real-time monitoring through the Yale Smart Living Alarm App. Homeowners receive instant alerts if a window is left unlocked or tampered with, integrating seamlessly into smart home ecosystems and providing reassurance wherever they are.
The bi-directional twin cam operation increases resistance to intruders by engaging locking points in opposite directions simultaneously, making it significantly harder to manipulate compared to traditional single-direction systems. Adjustable cams allow for precise compression adjustment, improving weather sealing and maintaining a consistent, secure fit over time.
The upcoming Flush Fit variants will be specifically tailored for modern flush window systems, ensuring a clean, seamless aesthetic without compromising strength or security.
The Twin Cam Espagnolette is available with a durable Quadcoat finish. Tested to BS EN 1670 Grade 5 (480 hours) and independently verified to withstand 1000 hours of neutral salt spray (NSS), it offers exceptional corrosion resistance and long-lasting performance, even in the harshest environments.
The entire range has been rigorously tested to PAS24:2022, withstanding 50,000 operational cycles, and is backed by a 10-year mechanical guarantee. All products in the range are Secured by Design accredited and are covered by the Yale Lifetime Security Guarantee, ensuring total confidence in durability and performance.
Grant Stratford, Yale’s Senior Fenestration Technical Director – ASSA ABLOY, Residential, commented, “With the Yale Dual Lock, we set out to redefine what fabricators and installers can expect from a modern window locking system. By combining advanced mechanical security with seamless smart home integration and simplified installation, we’ve created a solution that meets the needs of today’s market – without compromise.”
