Securitas Security Window Lock from VBH

Hardware specialist VBH has introduced the brand new greenteQ Securitas Security Window Espagnolette.

Securitas sits alongside the entry level greenteQ Window Espagnolette and popular PAS24 tested Invicta Window Shootbolt to provide three lock options for manufacturers of outward opening windows.

Securitas features pairs of mushroom headed cams that lock into both sides of a night vent striker plate. VBH advise that these double cam locking points are extremely strong as they spread the load if the window is attacked rather than allowing all the force to be concentrated on one point.

Each Securitas lock has a minimum of 4 mushroom cams (2 pairs) with the larger sizes boasting 4 pairs.

Securitas is as quick to fit as a standard espagnolette as all fixings are applied in the same direction and there are no extensions to fit.

VBH advise that the new window lock comes with industry standard 20 and 22mm backsets to ensure compatibility with most current window systems and with a choice of two mushroom cam heights.

VBH Marketing Manager Gary Gleeson tells us “Adding Securitas to our range allows fabricators to fit a greenteQ PAS24 rated window lock whether their preference is for a shootbolt or espagnolette – type product.

“Fabricators have told the greenteQ design team here what they want from a window lock all through the development phase so we know that Securitas meets their needs. It will hit the ground running and quickly become one of our core products.”

Securitas has been successfully tested on a number of profiles to PAS24:2016 at BSI. As a result, it is rated as a PREMIUM products in the Q-secure Approved Products List.
