Hardware distributor Safeware has extended its Yale range with the addition of the Lockmaster AutoEngage multi-point locking system.

The Lockmaster AutoEngage multi-point door lock features two security latches which automatically engage when the door is closed, delivering reliable security without the need for manual locking.

The automatic engage function removes the requirement for a lever handle, making it ideal for heritage doors that retain the authentic look of a traditional doorknob or latch pull. It is equally well suited to contemporary and minimalist designs, where pull bar handles are often preferred.

Suitable for timber or composite doors, the Lockmaster AutoEngage is available with 35mm, 45mm and 55mm gearbox variants, offering a wide range of applications across different door specifications. It is supplied with a choice of 16mm or 20mm Yale-branded faceplates and is available in both 2-latch and 3-latch configurations. The lock is non-handed to simplify stockholding and is suitable for key or lever operation.

The Lockmaster AutoEngage is tested to PAS 24:2016 and approved for use in FD30 and FD60 fire doors, providing added reassurance where fire performance is critical. It is Secured by Design compliant, corrosion resistant to BS EN 1670:2008 Grade 4 and supplied with a 10-year mechanical guarantee. Product quality is further reinforced by the Yale Lifetime Security Guarantee, which provides compensation in the event of a break-in caused by the failure of a Yale door or window security component.

Rob Hartill, commercial director of Safeware, commented: “Lockmaster from Yale is Britain’s best-selling multi-point door locking system for good reason. It offers high-quality products that meet modern security needs, all backed with reassuring guarantees. The Lockmaster AutoEngage is the perfect example of these strengths.”
