Full Cylinder Line-Up From Stock

» MILA NOW HAS A FULL LINE-UP OF security cylinders available from stock – thanks to the addition of a new anti-bump 1 * BSI Kitemarked cylinder to its range .
Effectively , Mila customers can now choose from three levels of cylinder security , depending on the application and price point . At the top of the range , there is the Mila ProSecure 3 * anti-snap cylinder , which meets the Master Locksmith ’ s Association coveted Sold Secure Diamond Standard , in the middle is the new enhanced security ProSecure 1 * cylinder with anti-bump technology , and , at entry level , there is Mila ’ s ProLinea BreakSafe™ cylinder , complete with a sacrificial cut line and 6-pin security protection .
Mila ’ s Managing Director Richard Gyde explained : “ There was a time when cylinders were largely seen as commodity products , with price the driving factor in product selection . Since the advent of cylinder snapping and bumping and the tightening of the PAS24 test in 2016 though , the market has changed and , in both the retail and commercial market , buyers are scrutinising and prioritising security more than ever before . www . mila . co . uk

A sea-worthy addition to your bi-fold needs

» WITH OVER 5.3 MILLION people living near our country ’ s coastline , aluminium fabricators can now rest assured that all hardware from leading supplier AT Precision is designed to withstand the seaside climate .
The Durham-based company recently had its entire Everglide range of aluminium bi-fold hardware salt spray tested , achieving the maximum 480-hour cycle time required for a Grade 5 on the BSEN1670 scale .
AT Precision Sales Director Michael Hewitt comments : “ Along with general pollution , salt spray in the air can attack metal coatings on hardware . Our Everglide range of hardware has now been proven to be resistant to corrosion , meaning aluminium fabricators can offer attractive and high-performing bi-fold door solutions for coastal properties .”
AT Precision ’ s Everglide range includes rollers , top guides , pull handles , hinges , cleats and shootbolt handles , all of which are made from cast aluminium and are compatible with major systems .
The company also manufactures the Everseal range of gaskets , also compatible with major systems , and supplies espagnolette window handles , the Ingenious Duplex MPL from Ingenious Locks , as well as plastic ancillaries which include injection-moulded cill end caps and adapter caps .
