HARDWARE
‘STYLISH, SECURE, AND SIMPLE’ FOR
EXTERIOR FOLDING APPLICATIONS
» ALLEGION UK, A LEADER
in safety and security, has added
the 286DL locking handle to its
established range of Brio dual
point locks for exterior folding
applications. It is ideal for both
residential and commercial
facilities, joining other Brio
accessories for the 286 dual point
lock used on Weatherfold 4s
and 5c.
Designed to ‘suite’ with
Brio 288 lever furniture, the
286DL locking handle has been
specifically design engineered to
secure timber and aluminium
folding panels. The single action
handle is a stylish alternative to
two flush bolts. The product also
enables the doors to fold flat.
The intelligent security-
conscious design of the 286DL
is discreetly hidden inside the
aluminium stile or edge of a
timber panel with minimal
machining and quick fixing
points thanks to the patented
hinge blocks.
A variety of keepers allow
for neat dressing and accurate
alignment of the throw and
panel, which improves the
performance of perimeter
weather seals.
This new addition allows
joinery manufacturers to offer a
lock and handle for access doors
that can be used with a cylinder
of choice.
David Newton, Brio UK
general manager, explains: “We
routinely research and review
the marketplace for folding and
sliding door hardware systems, to
see where Brio can add value for
customers.
“The 286 dual point lock
was developed as an alternative
to using flush bolts on panels.
The lock is less intrusive than
flush bolts and also has the
very considerable advantage of
eliminating any bending down
or reaching up to lock or unlock
the door which is the downside
of flush bolts. This makes it very
friendly with regards to disabled
access as wheelchair users will
not have to rely on help to open
doors.
The new locking handle is
stylish, secure and simple – the
perfect accompaniment for our
folding door systems.”
Added to the design and
manufacturing excellence is the
company’s rigorous product
testing and quality assurance.
The 286DL locking handle is
cycle tested in excess of 100,000
operations and comes with a
10-year warranty. It’s available in
a variety of finishes for matching
flexibility, including stainless steel
for coastal areas.
