FLAIR WINDOWS HAS recently switched fully to the Yale Mantis 3 door lock for its Kömmerling PVCu single and double doors . Originally , Flair used Mantis on just their PAS24 doors but decided to fit them ‘ across the board ’ following positive feedback from customers and installers .
The locks are supplied by VBH , who provide Flair with greenteQ and Yale hardware for their PVCu and aluminium production lines .
|
The lock is part of a Yale / greenteQ hardware package that has been tested to PAS24 at BSI . The resulting certification enables Flair ’ s installer customers to quote for new-build work as they can produce documented evidence that their doors meet the requirements of Document Q .
Adrian Keegan of Flair said , “ The decision to switch 100 % to Yale locks was an easy one for us as it
|
standardises our products at a high quality level and reduces our stock holding .
“ The fact that we can now supply so many PAS24 and Document Q approved products across doors , windows and patios
|
means that we are in a position to quote for larger , more prestigious jobs than ever before , including new-build contracts . VBH have been invaluable in helping us get to where we want to be .”
