AutoEngage is YaleÆs range of slam shut door locks for timber and composite doors. Such locks are becoming increasingly popular and itÆs easy to see why.
When the door leaf is closed into the frame, the automatic lock mechanism instantly triggers the security latches, which engage into the striker plates by 20mm. This negates the need to lift a lever to throw the locking points prior to dead-locking through the key. The central deadbolt is operated independently and has a 20mm throw.
The latches and central deadbolt are all retracted by turning the key.
AutoEngageæs locking action allows greater flexibility in door design whether on traditionally styled doors where a knob might be used, or on modern, contemporary styles that lend themselves to the clean lines of greenteQ Coastline stainless steel pull handles.
AutoEngage can also be operated via a standard lever if prefered.
This version has a 16 x 2200mm flat faceplate for Eurogrooves where the faceplate will be cut to size, with a 35mm backset.
This is a Heritage variant, with a high level lockcase to replicate the position of traditional rim latches. These locks should be shrouded by circular escutcheons or cylinder pulls, which are available in 6 colours of the greenteQ suite, including brushed stainless steel to match the pull handles.
Classic and Heritage AutoEngage locks are all PAS24:2016 compliant and have been cycle tested to 100,000 operations.
The product is approved under VBHæs Q-secure multi-brand guarantee.
