HARDWARE& SECURITY
LEADING THE WAY WITH GLAZING INNOVATION
» » WITH ITS NEWEST AND
most popular systems garnering
a great deal of interest, leading
glazing hardware and tools
specialist CRL enjoyed a successful
time at the FIT Show.
A particular highlight was
the brand new CRL Posiglaze
and Spig-Lite adjustable glass
balustrade systems; which respond
to the ongoing move towards
installations without a handrail;
both tested to BS6180:2011
standards and offer a quick way to
adjust glass panels fuss-free.
With the move towards open-
plan interiors continuing apace,
CRL launched its Matte Black
frame system for sliding doors
which conceals all its sliding
components within the top track
and showed its latest Langle
New York Office. Both series are
ideal as a method of dividing the
various areas of a larger space
such as open-plan kitchens and
offices, creating a high-end,
urban look to any interior design
while overcoming practical issues
surrounding noise and privacy.
The CRL stand was completed
by showcasing the manufacturer’s
latest array of glass and glazing tools,
aimed at making installation and
maintenance of its glass hardware
solutions as simple as possible.

LOCK EVOLVES TO ADDRESS
EVER INCREASING PRESSURE
» » THE DESIGN OF ULTION WXM HAS
evolved to address the ever-increasing
pressure on euro-cylinders with new door
styles and multi-point locking systems. Not
all product evolutions have to be focussed
on increasing the price, WXM is stronger,
thicker and does more, but is the same
price.
The now two-part plug has increased
engagement with a new curved cap
and this entire section is moulded from
molybdenum. Improved drill protection
has also been delivered and it still houses 20

anti-drill points, but the clutch is shielded
with the molybdenum section of the plug.
There are also two locking pins now, which
fire into the body of the attack pin rather
than across it. All the pins used in this area
of the lock are made from hardened stainless
steel 630.
The thicker key has also enabled the
Brisant team to remove the 5 passive top
pins and introduce two additional pin
lengths to lower the active pins, whilst
concurrently increasing the apex differentials
between the heights, making the lock harder
to pick. The new pin heights produce in
excess of 260,000 working differs, more than
doubling the maximum requirement for the
TS007 3 Star grade 6.
