C O M A BUMPER NEW HARDWARE CATALOGUE »»Synseal has published a 2nd edition of its Hardware catalogue, which now features the exclusive Performance range of window and door handles. Optimised to match the Company’s popular PVC-u window and door systems, including Legend, Shield and SynerJy 70mm profiles, the Hardware range has been put together to strengthen Synseal’s supply chain and provide support for professional fabrication and installation of window casements, French doors, patio doors and composite doors. The new easy-to-use catalogue details a comprehensive range of branded components in four clearly-presented sections: window hardware, door hardware, patio door hardware and hardware accessories. “Since the launch of our last catalogue and the reinvigorated Hardware product range, we have listened to customers and taken a consultative approach to define priorities,” comments Synseal’s Hardware Category Manager, Mark Frain. “Whilst there are many good quality window and door handles available, they are available to everyone and not just Synseal fabricators. That’s why we have introduced our Performance range of handles that are only available to Synseal fabricators and are of our own design. What’s more, they have been meticulously tested to meet and exceed industry standards and this is reflected in the guarantees we offer.” http://www.synseal.com New high security window lock repair keep launched »»The Trojan Group has just announced the launch of a new Pegasus window repair keep for use with its Pegasus High Security Window lock. The new repair keep is compatible with all major profile systems. Once again, Trojan has designed a product that not only performs to the highest product standard, but reduces product inventory too. Just one Pegasus Window lock and three repair keeps are all that are needed for any solution, making this product a fitters dream while keeping stockholding for trade counters to an absolute minimum. The Pegasus repair keep meets the same exacting standards offered by all Trojan’s products. Tony Chadwick, Trojan Group’s Managing Director, says, “The Pegasus repair keep is a small product that makes a big difference. Its clever design means the installer does not need to stock various keeps in the hope of having one that fits when he gets to site. Our universal keep fits all major profiles systems giving the installer a simple but effective one stop solution.” The repair keep is compatible with Trojan’s popular Pegasus Window Lock, which has a one-size-fits-all approach and a single lock is suitable for all sashes from 400mm to 1750mm.
