ERA, a leading manufacturer of fenestration and home security solutions, has announced the launch of its new Six Hook Patio Multi-Point Door Lock, designed to offer strength and durability for PVCu sliding patio doors.
With features designed to support protection against forced entry, the lock’s six-hook bi-directional mechanism provides multiple locking points along the edge of the door.
The anti-slam pin prevents misalignment of the lock when closing the door, ensuring that the locking system is always engaged correctly. Additionally, a central anti-lift pin helps to protect against any attempts to lift the door off its track.
With an 18mm backset and 33mm lock case depth, the patio door lock has been designed for ease of fabrication and requires minimal preparation. The keep also allows for +/-2mm adjustments, accommodating any minor discrepancies that may occur during door installation or due to settling over time.
The stainless steel face bar, forged steel hooks and aluminium keeps, have all been chosen for their strength and resistance to wear and tear. Built to withstand rigorous use and environmental factors, the lock is plated to BS EN 1670 Grade 4, boasting corrosion resistance for longevity even in harsh conditions. It has also been function tested to 100,000 cycles, demonstrating its reliability and durability over extended use.
With a range of patio handles to suit, including the Fab&Fix Pembroke Patio Handle, that’s available in the perfectly matching finishes, ERA have the perfect patio locking solution for any PVCu doors.
Sarah Knight, Technical Product Manager at ERA, said: “Designed with functionality and strength in mind, the Six Hook Patio Multi-Point Door Lock offers an ideal solution for door manufacturers looking to offer reliable patio door hardware options to their customers. Its compatibility with a variety of door profiles ensuring it meets the diverse needs of the market, particularly with the rise in demand for sliding patio doors.”
