Two new products
makes hardware
decisions a lot easier
SOLD SECURE DIAMOND 3*
SECURITY CYLINDER
» MILA IS OFFERING CUSTOMERS
the ultimate in cylinder security with the
launch of a Sold Secure Diamond Standard,
BSI 3* Kitemark cylinder.
Part of Mila’s proven and hugely popular
ProSecure hardware range, it gives fabricators
a simple way of complying with the latest
TS007 security hardware requirements, as well
as a powerful new sales opportunity.
Anti-drill, anti-bump and anti-pick, the new
ProSecure cylinder is independently tested
and fully accredited to what are recognised as
being the most rigorous industry standards.
It is one of only a small number of cylinders
available in the UK that come with the
reassurance of both the Diamond Grade and
3* Kitemark approvals, and the logos are laser
etched onto either end of the cylinder face.
The new ProSecure cylinder is
manufactured from brass and hardened
carbon steel and features a whole raft
of innovative features designed to give
the homeowner absolute confidence in
their security. That includes anti-pick pins,
hardened steel anti-drill pins in the barrel and
low and high driver pins to prevent cylinder
bumping. There is also a high strength carbon
steel cam protection block to prevent
snapping and plug extraction.

One of the key
features of the
cylinder is that it is
engineered with a snap
secure sacrificial point
which will break if it is tampered with from
the outside, ensuring that the internal parts
of the cylinder can’t be damaged, and the lock
can still be operated safely from the inside.
For additional homeowner peace of mind,
the Mila ProSecure cylinder comes with three
restricted profile dimple keys as standard and
a unique warranty card number which means
that only the card holder can order additional
keys for their cylinder.
Mila is supplying the new cylinder in matt
nickel or matt brass finishes and with a thumb
turn option for the inside if required.
Managing Director Richard Gyde says that is
an important addition to Mila’s range because
it gives fabricators another risk free route to 3
star compliance. He says: “We already offer our
2 star ProSecure handle and 1 star cylinder for
doors being fitted with a conventional handle
and now we can offer the same level of security
performance for doors being fitted with
standard handles or escutcheons.”

Contemporary
square pull
bar collection
» MILA IS LAUNCHING A STYLISH
new range of square shaped, stainless steel pull
bars in its trusted Supa™ range, perfect for the
new generation of contemporary aluminium,
timber, composite and PVC-U doors.
Sleek and modern in brushed stainless steel, the
new collection includes inline, offset and square
options in 1200mm lengths to give customers a
choice of looks for even the most high-end door
designs. They can be back to back, concealed or
through-fixed to suit any type of door, and come
with the option of Supa™ square escutcheons for
a fully suited contemporary look.
The new pull bars offer
what Mila is calling the
‘ideal combination’ of looks
and performance, with a
market leading 25-year
guarantee on the finish to
make them an even more
attractive sales proposition.
The guarantee comes
from the fact that the
bars are manufactured as
standard in marine grade
316 stainless steel designed
for coastal and high pollution
areas. They have been
successfully weather tested
to an impressive 1000 hours
in a salt spray environment,
which is way beyond the 480
hours required for a Grade
5 rating under the corrosion
test BSEN1670: 2007.
This new collection is part of Mila’s proven
Supa™ stainless steel hardware range which
already includes hugely popular round pull bar
options in a variety of sizes and shapes.
Managing Director Richard Gyde says
that Mila is keeping pace with demand from
customers who want pull bars which suit the
styling of their contemporary new door ranges
but who don’t want to sacrifice either quality
or performance for distinctive aesthetics. He
explains: “These Supa™ bars offer something
really stylish and contemporary but also come
with all the reassurance of a Mila guarantee
and Mila service and support. That, we think,
ticks every box for customers selling into the
premium retail market in particular.”
