New standard set

Maco launched the MKV shootbolt at the FIT Show.

Developed alongside the needs of fabricators and installers, the MKV delivers market leading security, quality and, user benefits, the company said.

The launch of MKV was kept for release at the FIT Show 2019 so Maco could meet with the industry face to face.

Part of the design of the MKV shootbolt has resulted in Maco now offering a universal back set as standard; with a 21mm back set being the perfect fit for both traditional 22mm and 20mm backset systems.

The 22mm back set of the MKV means less space is needed for the lock case improving the strength; Maco redesigned the lockcase to be smaller yet stronger than traditional lockcases. The design includes a change in the mushroom cams, new manufacturing technologies ensure that they are stronger, and a new torx adjusting system.

All the screws have been placed on the front face plate and reduced to six for increased ease and speed during fabrication. Eurogroove twist locks fix the MKV to the perfect size when fitted into the window, and extra security support guides support the shootbolt corners resulting in high levels of window security.

A concept launched at FIT Show on the Maco stand displayed how, regardless of what material you fabricate in, you can still use the premium hardware Maco has to offer including the new MKV.
