Getting a Hold on Pull Handles
UAP Limited has entered the growing pull handle market with its
offering of corrosion resistant stainless steel pull handles.
To launch the new line, UAP
is releasing a range of satin
stainless steel straight length
pull handles. These incorporate
UAP’s Nanocoast® technology
and so come with a free lifetime
guarantee against surface
corrosion.
UAP consulted with several door
manufacturers during the design
process to ensure the handles
met the desired specifications of
the majority, and didn’t have any
downfalls that may be present
on pull handles currently on the
market.
The result of this research is a
range of high quality pull handles
that are produced from 1.5mm
grade 304 stainless steel, have a
38mm diameter for a sturdier
construction and an easier grip
for people with limited hand
movements, and three different
fitting options.
UAP’s MD David Jennings said:
“We decided to enter the pull
handle market as we felt that we
could add some real value to it. We
have received nothing but positive
comments from our customers;
the feedback we are getting is that
the handle is well designed, has a
‘High quality’
robust feel and are a good quality
product.”
