Yale Rapide Window Lock
The Rapide window lock is a unique fully retractable window lock, sitting flush within the Eurogroove, removing the common issues of cam clash and keep alignment found with other styles of lock.
The innovative design allows pre-drilling for keep alignment reducing fabrication time, The system also allows separate installation of the keep and lock prior to the hanging of the sash to deliver greater flexibility and efficiency during fabrication.
The unique rotating action of the lock provides users with a smooth and easy to close window, with minimum wear to components, leading to a long service life with no loss of compression.
Ready to Fabricate
- Faster to fit: With as few as six screws to fit locks and keeps, Rapide requires fewer fixings than any other security window lock in the UK, increasing manufacturing efficiency and reducing costs.
- Manufacturing efficiencies: Rapide eliminates inaccuracy and risk during keep installation ensuring throughput is maximised. The profile can be pre-drilled and keeps can be fitted at any time in the production process without marking, simplifying and speeding up fabrication.
- Reducing stock holding: Rapide's unique rotary locking system ensures one locking point height for all profiles, reducing stock holding for multi system users.
- Simplified ordering: Revolutionary patented gearbox cassette design makes Rapide a truly non-handed lock, reducing stockholding and simplifying re-ordering.
- Superior strength: Fully occupying the eurogroove, Rapide's robust aluminium channel significantly enhances the structural strength
- Enhanced performance: Rapide is the only window lock in the UK which engages the full length of the keep, for optimum security and compression performance.
