Thousands of Colorado homeowners currently have a discontinued roofing product system called T-Lock. T-Lock product is no longer available and no longer manufactured because of this T-Lock can not be spot repaired. Since T-Lock roofs can’t be repaired, we have been helping homeowners obtain new roofs through their insurance companies. T-Lock roofs have a distinct look and can be identified by their individual “T” shaped shingle as shown in the pictures and diagrams.

Diamond Exteriors is experienced at helping homeowners with T-Lock product. The amount of Hail Damage required qualifying for a new roof is minimal due to the nature of the situation with T-Locks.

A recent conversation with an insurance adjuster on a T-Lock inspection…

A brief history on T-Lock…

T-lock shingles have fallen from common use in recent years. They were configured to self-lock into each other using lateral tabs and slots, like a 3-tab with ears that could be inserted behind the tab to either side. T-Locks have been widely believed to be more wind-resistant than seal-down shingles because of the overlap system, but they are frequently assigned the same tested wind-resistance rating as a 3-tab or architectural shingle of the same warranty period.

Three reasons T-Lock shingles are no longer made:

• These T-lock type shingles are time consuming compared to installation of conventional three-tab shingles that do not require a locking operation.
• Appearance
• Cost

Home inspectors for insurance underwriters are being instructed to report the presence of T-Lock shingles as a major insurance hazard. Some companies may cancel or deny coverage if this type of shingle exists on the roof.

Let Diamond Exteriors replace your T-Lock roof! It may cost you nothing!
