Heritage Trade Frames is an official partner for SensCheck, a range of integrated smart door and window sensors from Yale.
The partnership means that the Heritage Trade Frames team will fit SensCheck-compatible hardware as standard across the company’s Safeguard range. This includes composite doors, PVC-U doors, casement windows, flush casement windows and flush French casement windows.
“We are really excited to be fitting SensCheck-compatible hardware as standard,” said Paul Culshaw, managing director of Heritage Trade Frames. “We’ve already started installer training and showroom fit outs to promote the benefits of this Secured by Design (SBD) ‘Secure Connected Device’-accredited range, and have received fantastic feedback.”
The Yale hardware fitted by the Heritage Trade Frames team includes the shootbolt window lock, Platinum 3-star cylinder, multi-point door locks and the the Yale standard window hinge.
With Yale SensCheck, homeowners are notified via the Yale Home app if their doors are open or closed, locked or unlocked, and whether their windows are in the night vent position, Yale’s representative explained. The range is also compatible with voice partners Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, they continued, enabling homeowners to ask a variety of commands, such as “Alexa, is my front door locked?” and “Alexa, is my bedroom window open?”
Yale SensCheck allows installers to offer smart windows and doors within their product range and to benefit from the association with a consumer brand. Heritage Trade Frames and its customers can also promote the benefits of Yale’s Lifetime Security Guarantee, which includes up to £3,250 towards repairs or replacements, insurance excess and securing the property in the event of a break in, as well as discounts on items within the Yale store.
Paul Gravell, Yale’s sales director, added: “We are proud to be partnering with Heritage Trade Frames, a long-standing customer of Epwin Window Systems. As one of the largest and most trusted fabricators of PVC, composite doors and aluminium windows and doors, they are ideally placed to bring our SensCheck range to trade installers throughout the north west.”
