What makes the Yale Lockmaster so good?
A lot of design, development, and engineering time goes into creating a secure door lock – and this is where Yale exceeds. Here are some of the features that make the Yale Lockmaster so secure:
Pre-compression Roller
To ensure that the lock operates smoothly, pre-compression roller cams are used, which provide the added benefit of helping to weather proof the lock from the strains of the outside world.
Anti-lift Pins
The anti-lift pins act as the first line of defence by preventing anyone from attempting to move or lift the door.
Centre Latch and Hook
To create a secure lock, it is important for the locking system to be solid and rigid. That’s why the central latch, combined with an anti-separation hook, delivers the level of solidity and rigidness that a secure lock requires.
