TLJ locks achieve UKCA certification

It replaces the old 'CE' marking which became obsolete in the UK following Brexit, though it is a like-for-like replacement in all important respects. Thorough testing of TLJ's battery powered locksets was carried out by approved inspection, testing and certification company Warringtonfire Limited. Certain UKCA adaptations for Northern Ireland were included in the testing, which we also achieved. The certification is valid until the end of March 2025.

• Achieved 100,000 lock operating cycles with a 25N side load on the latch, to simulate the mechanical stress of multiple door closures
• Exceeded 30 and 60 min fire tests. Often overlooked, but the door set must be tested/burnt from both sides of the door, sustaining at least 30 minutes in both tests
• Included factory production control and sampled specimen audit. Not only is the manufacturing process audited, but the hardware tested in the mechanical cycle testing is sampled. This means that the items are chosen at random, directly at the factory by the notified body. This ensures the tests are not manipulated and that the items tested are a true resemblance of those installed in the field
• For the mechanical cycle testing, it's worth noting that the minimum pass requirement is 50,000 cycles with no side load. The performance shown throughout this test reveals just how far ahead of mandated requirements are TLJ's products. Double the number of openings, with a side load, means it's unlikely any level of usage will ever reach the real-world operational limits of a TLJ lock.
