DOORBIRD RECEIVES ANOTHER PLUS X AWARD
» THE DOORBIRD BRAND OF BIRD Home Automation GmbH, one of the leading providers of IP video door intercom systems, has once again been honored with the prestigious PLUS X AWARD. In the category of Customer Satisfaction, the company clearly stood out, reaffirming its role as an innovation and quality leader in modern building communication.
The German Institute for Product and Market Evaluation regularly presents the PLUS X AWARD, the world’ s largest
innovation prize for technology, sports, and lifestyle. While awards such as“ Best Brand” are decided by a jury, the Customer Satisfaction category is based on a nationwide consumer survey. More than 12,000 men and women between the ages of 20 and 65 cast their votes – and selected DoorBird as one of the brands they are most satisfied with.
“ Receiving the award for Germany’ s Highest Customer Satisfaction, after already winning the PLUS X AWARD as Best Brand of the Year 2025, confirms that our products meet the spirit of the times and our customers’ expectations,” says Sascha Keller, CEO of DoorBird.“ But this is no reason to rest on our laurels. The positive feedback motivates us to continuously develop new solutions in intelligent door communication. A particular highlight this year was the launch of the D31x series for buildings with up to 1,000 units – and more innovative products are already on the horizon.”
The PLUS X AWARD for Germany’ s Highest Customer Satisfaction is presented annually. It recognises companies that, from the consumer’ s perspective, deliver on their promises by offering high-quality products and reliable service – thus making a lasting contribution to satisfaction. In each category, there is only one winner. No ranking or second and third places are published – only the leader is awarded.

Stylish Town Lever on Rose handle and matching escutcheon
» MILA HAS ADDED A NEW CONtemporary option to its Supa™ stainless steel hardware range: the Town Lever on Rose door handle and cylinder escutcheon – a sleek, ergonomic solution for modern exterior doors.
Designed to integrate seamlessly with the Supa™ stainless steel and Harbour ranges for a consistent, professional look, the range is available in three suited premium finishes – Brushed Stainless, Polished Stainless, and Polished PVD Gold Stainless.
Paul Pearson, Product Design Director at Mila, comments:“ Our new Supa™ Town
Lever on Rose door handle and escutcheon combines sleek styling, premium stainless-steel construction, and proven strength. Equally important, it’ s designed for straightforward installation and seamless integration with our existing ranges – making it an excellent choice for fabricators working on modern exterior doors.”
The Supa™ Town Lever on Rose handle is designed for the inside of an exterior door and pairs perfectly with Supa™ Pull Bars( sold separately) for a stylish, practical entrance. When fitted with a Yale AutoEngage Lock( sold separately) with a 20mm faceplate, the door automatically secures from the outside when closed, allowing safe exit from within and effortless key entry.
The handle includes a hidden fixing plate that anchors it adjacent to the lock backset, providing a strong, durable fit without relying on surface screws that can
pull out – especially important for composite or softwood doors.
The matching escutcheon neatly houses the cylinder on both sides, and for maximum security, Mila recommends upgrading to a Yale Platinum 3-Star Cylinder( sold separately). Suitable for both left and right-handed doors, the sprung lever ensures a smooth return to 90 °, eliminating any risk of handle sag for a consistently refined look and feel.
The Supa™ Town Lever on Rose exceeds industry requirements, with over 1,000 hours of salt spray testing – far beyond BS EN 1670 Grade 5. It also meets BS EN 1906:2012 testing for durability, strength, and performance, offers 100kg axial strength, 30Nm rotational force, and comes with a 25-year guarantee.
