HARDWARE& SECURITY
Fixing Times Leaned Down
With Slim Pull Handle
Hardware solution provider, UAP is making life easier for
UK door manufacturers with flexible fixing methods on its
slim pull handle. A popular choice for modern door styles,
the handle is available with hidden, bolt through and back
to back fixings – making it extremely fast and simple to
install on timber, composite, glass and aluminium doors.
» » THE THREE DIFFERENT
fixing methods give fabricators
and installers the option to send
the door to site without the
pull handle attached, helping
to prevent damage in transit or
on-site. The handle is then fitted
when required, with minimal
fuss.
Made from 1.5mm thick 316
grade stainless steel, the slim pull
handle is part of UAP’s Nanocoast
product range. Homeowners
benefit from the range’s Lifetime
Coating Guarantee.
32mm in diameter the handle
is available in four lengths and is
supplied with an Allen key and
two Allen bolts on each of the
up-stands. The 900 and 1200mm
lengths each have two fixing
points and an individual plate.
The two longer options, 1500 and
1800mm lengths have three fixing
points but fitters have the option
of removing the middle leg with
an Allen key, if desired.
National sales director for UAP,
Barry Halpin comments on why
the slim pull handle is an essential
hardware option for fabricators
and installers wanting to capture
the current consumer market,
“Online platforms like Pinterest
and Houzz are encouraging
homeowners to choose a front
door that has style and character,
one which speaks volumes about
the people that live there. And
the door and hardware industry
has had to respond to this.
Colour has been a key factor for a
number of years but hardware has
an important role in making the
ideal door for a home.
“We have seen an increase
in demand for our stainless
steel hardware, a material that
would previously have been
chosen purely for its durability.
Yet, it perfectly complements
contemporary door styles and
materials. That’s why our slim
pull handle is proving so popular
with homeowners and fitters, it
ticks every box for creating that
perfect entrance for a modern
home and is easy to install.”
The stainless steel slim pull
handle is available in a satin
finish.
