Consort strengthens security offering with introduction of Yale Fortify 3 Star Cylinder

For over four decades, Consort has been among the most trusted names for installers nationwide. From its dedicated UK manufacturing facility, the company produces more than 1,800 units per week across an extensive portfolio, including VEKA PVCu doors, the OMNIA Double Flush range, composite doors, and SMART Aluminium systems – all specially designed for smooth installs and a premium finish.

The Yale Fortify Cylinder brings world-class security credentials to this portfolio. Independently tested by BSI, it holds TS007-1:2024 3 Star accreditation and Secured by Design approval. The cylinder is engineered to defend against both traditional and emerging attack methods, durability-tested to EN1303, and available in key-key and thumb-turn variants, with a wide range of sizes for retrofit and replacement.

In addition, it is backed by a 10-year mechanical guarantee and Yale’s Total Trust Guarantee, offering up to £3,000 compensation in the unlikely event of a breach.

Beverley Morgan, Commercial Director at Consort, comments: “We’re delighted to be adding the Yale Fortify Cylinder to our range. Yale’s heritage speaks for itself – over 180 years of securing the things that matter most to people. This gives our customers the added reassurance of a truly market-leading cylinder from a brand they know – and know they can trust.”

Nick Scott, Key Account Manager for Yale Door and Window Solutions, adds: “Consort has all the qualities we look for in a long-term partner – technical know-how, dependable service, and a commitment to delivering the best experience for installers. We’re pleased to be taking our relationship to the next level with this announcement.”
