Yale launches smart Dual Lock
Yale has launched the Yale Dual Lock – said to be a next-generation window locking solution that combines superior mechanical strength, streamlined installation, and full smart home integration.
Compatible with PVC-U, 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.
The range includes:
- 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.
The bi-directional twin cam operation engages locking points in opposite directions simultaneously, which is designed to make 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.
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 1,000 hours of neutral salt spray (NSS), it is said to offer ‘exceptional’ corrosion resistance and long-lasting performance, even in the harshest environments.
The entire range has been 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.
