ERA, a leading manufacturer of fenestration solutions, announces the launch of its new Offset Twin Cam Lock for aluminium windows. Designed to suit popular aluminium profiles, the lock delivers robust security and reliability for both residential and commercial applications.
Engineered specifically for aluminium window systems, the Offset Twin Cam Lock features up to three sets of locking cams that securely fasten the window sash to the frame, providing enhanced protection against forced entry. This design ensures security along the entire length of the window, providing peace of mind to end users.
The Offset Twin Cam Lock is available in a range of bar lengths, from 359mm to 1500mm, providing flexibility to accommodate various aluminium window designs. This adaptability allows fabricators to work across a wide range of sash rebates, from 360mm to 1750mm. Larger bar sizes (1000mm, 1250mm, and 1500mm) are equipped with twin bidirectional cam clusters and additional single cams, ensuring even distribution of locking force and enhanced security. The lock also offers a +/- 1mm cam adjustment, allowing fine-tuning on installation for optimum fit and function of the lock.
Built to meet the requirements of PAS 24:2022 and tested in excess of 50,000 cycles, the lock delivers the highest level of performance in both strength and durability. Its corrosion-resistant finish, tested to BS EN 1670 Grade 5 standards, ensures that the lock can endure harsh environmental conditions over the long term. An additional key feature of the Offset Twin Cam Lock is its simplicity of fabrication. The lock is designed with non-croppable bars and requires no complex routing, allowing for quick and efficient fitting. This straightforward fitting process reduces time spent on-site while ensuring high standards of security are maintained. The lock’s sleek, modern appearance is additionally designed to complement the aesthetic of contemporary aluminium windows.
Sarah Knight, Technical Product Manager at ERA, said: “The Offset Twin Cam Lock is crafted to offer exceptional security and ease of installation for aluminium windows, and we’re thrilled to launch it to suit a variety of popular profiles. Pairing our lock with the latest aluminium systems ensures that installers can deliver enhanced protection and performance right from the start.”
