HARDWARE 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. 60 » F EB 2020 » CL EARVI E W- UK . C O M 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.” www.mila.co.uk 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.”
