Brand Security

For perfect functional performance and the ultimate in security – we use Winkhaus window fittings. That’s why Brand windows meet every security requirement. You have the choice of different security levels, which means that break-ins through your windows are not only difficult - they can be virtually impossible. The determinant factor in this is the number of locks in the window surround, as well as the type of glazing. We are one of the few window manufacturers whose intrusion resistant windows meet the demands of BS 7950 PAS 23/24, WK2 and the latest ENV tests.*

Comfort windows from Brand give you that satisfying certainty that expensive heating energy will stay indoors, and the cold keeps out. Thermally insulated window profiles with several insulating air chambers, double seals, and top-quality thermal protection glazing make sure of that, achieving U values of 1.4 to 0.74 in Upvc and from 1.8 to 1.2 in aluminium is the Brand Standard.

If the needs for security are greater, then a few further security elements are all you need to provide your windows with all-round protection against intruders.*

Multi-Point-Locks with Hooks - High Security Door Locking Systems

Winkhaus Multi-Point-Locks with Hooks - the highest Level of Security you can get. In order to protect you, your family and you property,Winkhaus developed the Multi-Point-Locking System with Hooks.Two or three solid brass hooks (depending on the height of the door) will give you the security you deserve. Please have a look on an installation Sample.

• Optimum security: Tested in accordance with various national standards. This performance criteria confirms the obvious visual proportions of this solid locking mechanism.
  
• Solid Brass Hooks: The mighty STV Locking hooks are made of forged brass and engage not only in to the keeps but also lock behind the frame keep rail.This is an important security feature which greatly hinders the pulling apart of the door from it’s frame, especially when adjacent to a side panel.
  
• Compression adjustment in the keeps: Together with the specially tapered hook shape the compression adjustment in the keeps provides for low operating forces. It is possible to adjust for misalignment of the door during and after installation.
  
• Continuous keep rail: The continuous keep rail ensures operating forces are equally distributed over the full length of the keep. Being continuous, the keep rail is also easily fitted and enhances the rigidity of the frame.
  
• Secure locking mechanism: High load sintered metal gears help ensure a long service life. In the locked position the mechanism is blocked in two modes, the hook bolts are securely locked and cannot be forced back, either singularly or together. Regardless of the lock being lever or key operated it can only be released by unlocking the cylinder with the appropriate key.
  
• Steel latch and dead bolt: Both the latch and dead bolt are made from nickel steel and give the Winkhaus Lock the maximum strength in the centre of the door.
  
• Easy key insertion: The mechanical construction ensures that no internal pressure acts upon the cylinder cam in the locking position. It is therefore always easy to insert the key in the cylinder.

Winkhaus – one of the most famous producers of Multi-Point-Locks in the world. Since 1987 over 2.5 million Security Locks have been installed throughout Europe and the USA.
