VEKA gets a handle on security with Yale

VEKA has added extra protection to its stylish composite door offering with Yale’s latest security handle, to provide fabricators and installers with the ultimate in cylinder protection.

Yale’s new MK3 security handle is ideal for retrofitting and is used in conjunction with Yale’s British standard euro cylinder on all VEKA composite doors to meet PAS 24 Clause A11 requirements.

Featuring strong steel lugs and M6 screws to ensure the handle remains firm on the door, the MK3 Security Handle also offers an external backplate manufactured from pure aluminium for extra protection.

Says Pat Parry, VEKA Composite Door Manager: “Cylinder manipulation has become a top concern and we were very keen to ensure our composite doors carried a superior quality solution, carrying independent quality and performance.

“Yale is without a doubt the most famous lock brand and a home security specialist that we can utilise to demonstrate to homeowners that by choosing a composite door from VEKA, which already offers style and outstanding performance, their home is also as safe and secure as possible.”

The VEKA composite door system comprises a range of stylish and durable designs that provide weather sealing, exceptional thermal efficiency (all styles are U Value 1.6 or less, with the majority of styles being 1.2 or less) and now high security locking.

Alongside fitting Yale’s Security Handle MK3 and British Standard kitemarked anti-manipulation Euro Cylinder, VEKA is also fitting all composite doors as standard with Yale’s 3 security grip hook bolts multipoint lock which features a deadlocking latch with snib functionality.

Afolabi Akinsanya, National Sales Manager at Yale OEM added:  “VEKA is already an industry leading system supplier and it has embraced the need to offer high security composite door solutions, without compromising on aesthetics.

“By using Yale’s MK3 security handle and British Standard kitemark cylinder together with the multipoint locking system, VEKA can offer fabricators and installers a complete and secure composite door, which achieves the very latest security standards, which in turn means peace of mind for their customers.”

Yale MK3 Security Handle has the same fixing positions as the standard Yale door furniture and is available as part of Yale’s suited range of door furniture in six different finishes.

The Yale Mk3 Security Handle is just the latest in a long line of enhancements to the industry’s favourite composite door system – over the last 12 months, the VEKA Composite Door System has benefited from a new lead generation website, the addition of foils on both sides and bespoke U Value certificates supplied with every door, to name just a few.
