Yale has introduced the Postmaster Professional TS008 Slim Letterplate, its most streamlined design to date, offering top-tier security, exceptional durability, and a modern, sleek look.
Engineered to meet the highest industry standards, the versatile solution has been specifically developed to resist opportunistic attacks – making it ideal for any residential setting.
The highest standards
The Yale Postmaster Professional TS008 Slim Letterplate provides unbeatable peace of mind by meeting the rigorous standards of TS008:2022.
It is also accredited by Secured by Design (SBD), further testament to its exacting security. Studies show that SBD-recognised developments are up to 75% less likely to be burgled and exhibit a reduction of 25% in criminal damage[i].
In addition, the updated letterplate meets the stringent requirements of FD30 and FD60 when tested as part of a door set, PAS24:2022, and Approved Document Q.
Innovative security features
The new letterplate boasts several innovative features that equip it to withstand attacks from burglars. Among these is its Barrier Protection system, which features dual side plate shields that automatically extend when the internal flap is opened, offering additional security by blocking external access to the thumb-turn or key.
CombShield defence technology adds an additional layer of security. Obstructing the view through the letterplate, it prevents attackers from visually gauging the position of items inside the home. This clever technology works by incorporating comb-like teeth that act as barriers, reducing the ability for a fishing road to move side-to-side and potentially preventing the retrieval of items like keys or small valuables.
Brett Evans, Technical Director at Yale, comments: “The latest ONS statistics show that front door security is more important than ever. With entry through an unlocked door dropping from 15% to 10%[ii], more homeowners appear to be locking their doors. However, 62% of burglars still enter through the front of the house[iii]. This suggests burglars are increasingly finding new ways of entering homes without going through an unlocked door – such as fishing for keys through the letterplate.
“Our new Postmaster Professional TS008 Slim Letterplate provides the perfect answer. One of the slimmest letterplates on the market, it is not only sleek and stylish, but fearsomely robust as well.
“To provide even more peace of mind, it also comes with a 10-year Mechanical Guarantee and a 25-year Surface Finish Guarantee, so our customers can have added confidence in its performance and durability.”
