» HARDWARE MANUFACturer , VBH , is making things easy for its customers by offering related products as bundled packages , giving customers the benefits of buying from one specialist source .

Bi-fold door lock components have long been supplied in this way and the company is now turning its attention to aluminium and PVCu outward opening casement window hardware packages .

VBH encourages customers to use ‘ package deals ’ as they can provide better value for money , and save the ‘ hassle ’ of sourcing hardware for the same window from two or more suppliers .

Dan Powell , Head of Brand at VBH says , “ Our product

range has evolved to such an extent that we can offer multiple choices of locking system , friction stay , handle , security and safety devices , and vents .

“ The same window needs all these products , so it makes sense to place just one order , with all the components delivered and invoiced together . It saves so much work for the

customer ’ s buyer , stores people and the accounts team .”

VBH advise that buying hardware packages does not mean a restriction of choice , citing the fact that they have multiple choices of friction stay brand in stock , including greenteQ , Yale and Securistyle , and no less than eleven casement locking systems from

espags through to shootbolts that link to smart home networks .

The addition of the greenteQ Securitas OFFSET security espagnolette to the locking system range has opened up the package deals to fabricators using slim aluminium profiles that have no Eurogroove .

Dan concludes , “ What could be easier than having all your preferred casement window hardware on a Favourites List on our VBH24 online Customer Portal , where , with just a few clicks , everything you need for the following week ’ s window production arrives the next day ? It ’ s hassle-free .”
