The new generation of the Yale Mantis multipoint door lock has arrived with the launch of the Mantis 4 from Yale Door and Window Solutions.
The new lock includes several improvements on the popular Mantis 3. These include an easy-to-use push-in snib feature that ensures the door remains open when required, and pre-compression rollers cleverly positioned within 100mm of the auxiliary cases for enhanced sealing, compression and security performance. Screw-in, hardened plastic tidy boxes also provide improved longevity and a more aesthetically pleasing look.
In addition, the Yale Mantis 4 retains several outstanding features that make the Mantis range unique, such as a chamfered linear bolt for superior security and compression, an oversize deep penetrating hook offering 25mm engagement, and allen key-compression adjustable keeps as standard.
Meeting the new test requirements of PAS 24 to protect against the opportunistic burglar, the range offers the best in strength and durability for all types of external doors.
Yale Mantis 4 has been designed, developed, tested and manufactured in the UK, and benefits from recent enhancements that Yale has made to its manufacturing processes. Among these are improving its plastic moulding cell by buying additional moulding machines, updating robots, implementing robotic sub-assembly, and creating a full robotic demoulding, sorting, bagging, and boxing solution.
Paul Atkinson, Managing Director at Yale, comments: “Our new Mantis 4 multipoint door lock significantly improves on the well-established Mantis 3, which can trace its heritage back to Millenco Hardware, a business that was acquired and integrated with Paddock Fabrications back in the day’ before being sold and integrating with Yale in 2010.
“In recent years, our plastic moulding cell has really come into its own and we have continually invested in this area of our manufacturing operation with a series of updates. The Yale Mantis 4 certainly benefits from this investment.
“It offers outstanding security, functionality, and aesthetics, making it the most advanced multipoint lock in our Mantis range yet.”
The Mantis 4 comes with the Yale 10-year security guarantee as standard and can form part of the Yale Security guarantee as part of a door-set.
