VBH has broadened its range of multi-point door locks with the introduction of the new Mantis 4 range from Yale. The hardware supplier has been supplying Yale’s Mantis 3 lock for many years, and VBH’s representatives have reported having enjoyed great success with the range.
Mantis 4 builds on all the qualities of its predecessor, adding new benefits to an already impressive list of features, VBH’s representative said. Mantis’ combination locking points pair a substantial chamfered hook and a tapered linear bolt, providing an ‘extremely smooth’ locking action, the company’s representative added. This is aided further by the inclusion of adjustable roller cams on variants for PVC-U doors.
These combinations lock in to newly designed one piece keeps or ‘multi-keep’ individual keeps, to provide ‘exceptional’ resistance to pull out, thanks to the positioning of the screw fixings. Mantis 4 locks have been tested to PAS24:2022, and are approved for use on Q-secure installations and those requiring Document Q approval.
“VBH is rightly known in the industry as the supplier to go to for Yale’s Mantis door lock, and we’re very excited about the introduction of this latest version,” said Gary Gleeson, marketing manager for VBH. “We have considerable stock levels in place already. New and existing customers like the features, including the push-in latch hold-back device, the stainless steel faceplate and the new keeps, which have been designed specifically for 13mm axis profiles.”
“We have had great success with Mantis locks down the years and will continue to do so with Mantis 4. With the options available, and our logistics expertise, we are confident that we can satisfy most requirements from door manufacturers of all sizes.”
Mantis 4 locks are available from VBH stock to suit PVC-U single and double doors. There is a composite door variant with a 20mm radius end faceplate.
