» WEST MIDLANDS-BASED Ingenious Locks & Hardware ( Ingenious ) has become the latest company to partner with Sheerline . The manufacturer of high-security multi-point locks and hardware developed a bespoke system tailored to the newly launched Index™ Bi-Folding Door system .
The partnership saw the respective R & D teams working closely to ensure the oneof-a-kind system met both Sheerline ’ s and its customers ’ needs . This includes in-built , cleverly designed security features , which are an integral part of both company ’ s products .
That ’ s why the new system offers five hook multi-point locking with DUPLEX hook units , a spring assisted centre
|
case for lever applications , and all locks are extendible with connectors to take M8 threaded high security shoot bolts .
As with every multi-point lock developed by Ingenious , this system meets rigorous industry specifications including PAS24 and Secured by Design ( the official policebacked initiative ).
In line with Ingenious ’ ten year ‘ fit and forget ’ guarantee , operation and compression is smooth for ease of use over the product lifecycle . Keeps are also high security and suitable as standard for double door applications .
The fully symmetrical one-piece keeps are designed to accept a concealed flip-over lever , driving shoot bolts to the
|
head and threshold . This clever design has turned a simple keep into a French passive lock and saved on a set of handles . These added security features are another way to enable Sheerline ’ s innovative Index™ Bi-Folding Door system to stand out . Launched in August 2024 , the product was developed to help installers maintain their competitive advantage against cheap imports lacking in quality .
Adrian Redshaw , Sheerline ’ s Product Design Director , commented : “ This partnership reflects Sheerline ’ s commitment to in-built security as standard across the entire product range . It has been a great opportunity working with the Ingenious team to develop a unique
|
system specifically for our Index™ Bi-fold customers .
“ Supporting British manufacturing is part of being a proud British manufacturer , and this partnership highlights the fact we ’ re open to collaborating with like-minded companies across the UK who share our values for innovative , high-quality , and stylish yet practical solutions that provide tangible benefits for all our customers ,” he added .

» STELLAR FLUSH WINdows and doors from Epwin Window Systems ( manufactured and installed by GD Windows ) have been installed in a striking contemporary new build project in the scenic Pilot Street area of St . Dogmaels near Cardigan in Pembrokeshire . The bespoke split-level residential property has been designed to fully capitalise on its prime coastal location . A standout feature was the installation of three large Stellar lift and slide patio doors , each measuring 3.3m x 2.5m , complemented by overhead curtain walling with fixed lights across the upper rear elevation .
A further three Stellar lift and slide doors , each 2.5m x 2.1m , were installed to the ground floor level . Three internal screens with duplex bars
|
were fitted , alongside four flush Stellar windows that provide a clean , minimalist aesthetic . To complement the home ’ s contemporary stye , all Stellar products were manufactured with anthracite grey external frames and a clean white finish on the interior . As is standard with Stellar , the finish used a durable powder coating with a marine-grade finish that meets the Qualicoat specification , helping to ensure longevity and |
resilience in the challenging coastal environment .
Gwyn Davies , Director at GD Windows , said : “ The architectural vision for this home was to maximise the natural light and make the most of its unique coastal position . Stellar ’ s super-slim profile enabled us to open-up the rear aspect of the property across both levels , allowing light to flood the living spaces and provide uninterrupted
|
views of the estuary . The result is a contemporary , light-filled home that truly connects with its surroundings .”
Neville Gleed , Technical Development Manager at Epwin Window Systems , said : “ The flush aesthetics and ultra-slim frames of Stellar are proving increasingly popular in premium projects like this . Architects and developers value the system ’ s sleek , modern design , which allows for larger expanses of glass without compromising on strength or performance . This has been a significant advantage for companies like GD Windows , enabling them to offer a cutting-edge product that aligns with the demands of contemporary architecture .”
