New double cam lock

ERA’s new Double Cam Window Lock simplifies fabrication and installation, reducing manufacturing time and cost, the company has announced.

Exceeding PAS 24 requirements, the Double Cam Window Lock features up to three sets of unidirectional double locking cams, securing the sash tightly to the frame to deliver protection and strength across the window.

The lock’s design also features a ‘super keep’ that is combined with a central anti-lift fixed pin to prevent jemmying attacks on the window, and eliminates the need for shootbolts. The keep’s wraparound reinforced steel top plate and composite underbelly deliver four-point fixing while using minimal components for clean window aesthetics.

James Wilson, product manager for ERA, said: “The new ERA Double Cam Window Lock provides a shootbolt-free PAS 24 solution on a simple cost-effective platform designed to benefit fabricators, installers and homeowners alike.”

For use with all major PVCU profile systems, the lock’s streamlined design requires no complex routing or cutting down, as the espagnolette is simply placed into the pre-routed profile. On site, the 8mm double cams can be easily adjusted to fine tune compression.

The new Double Cam Window Lock is available in six different bar sizes, from 230mm up to 1,200mm and a choice of a 20mm or 22mm backset with standard 66mm gearbox routing.

Supplied with a 10-year mechanical guarantee and backed by ERA’s Total Security Guarantee, the Double Cam Window Lock has been performance tested to 30,000 cycles, 240-hour corrosion resistance, and in-situ lock and keep combinations to 3KN force.
