HARDWARE
Leading the
way with smart
security
» MIGHTON HAS
underlined the credentials of
the Avia smart lock as the most
secure product of its type on the
market, thanks to an unbeatable
combination of traditional
mechanical hardware, recently
approved by Sold Secure,
and market leading software,
regarded as the most secure
platform available.
Mighton’s chairman,
Mike Derham, commented:
“Despite the surge in interest
in smart home products, many
homeowners are still wary
about the security credentials of
smart locks. Not only does Avia
benefit from the security that
the Apple iOS operating system
provides, which includes 265-
bit data encryption to mitigate
the threat of hacking attempts,
but it also incorporates a
manual key – unlike other smart
locks on the market – which is
crucial to winning homeowner
confidence.”
Hardware reliability
makes aluminium
business easy
Avia was the first
smart lock to achieve the
Government’s Code of
Practice for consumer
Internet of Things (IoT)
security, earning accreditation
from the British Standards
Institute (BSI) as a result, as
well as recognition from the
European Telecommunication
Standards Institute (ETSI TS
103 645), the first globally
applicable standard for
consumer IoT security.

» BRISTOL BASED
aluminium glazing specialist Nova
Aluminium Systems Ltd prides
itself on being strictly a trade
supplier, serving large and small
installers with contracts ranging
from £2000 - £200,000 in value.
Nova manufactures aluminium
windows, doors, curtain walling
and shopfronts in all RAL
colours, with the bi-folding door
being one of their biggest sellers.
They elected to use greenteQ
Clearspan bi-fold hardware on
this enduringly popular product.
Nova Production Manager Jason
Ford says “Aluminium is the go-to
material for bi-folds due to the
colour options, strength and slim
sight-lines. The greenteQ bi-fold
solution includes everything we need
from the running gear, to handles,
profile cylinders and locks, right
down to magnetic catches. We can
either order from VBH per kit, or in
bulk alongside all the other window
and residential door hardware that
we source from them.”
greenteQ Clearspan is now the
hardware system of choice for
many bi-fold door manufacturers.
One of the reasons that so many
use the system is that it is covered
by VBH’s Q-secure hardware
guarantee, giving end users a free
10 year security guarantee.

VBH Marketing Manager Gary Gleeson
advises, “The addition of Anti-Panic to the
range now enables fabricators to gear up their
emergency exit doors using hardware from an
established brand that they trust.
“All Anti-Panic bolts and latches are tested,
certified and CE marked to the relevant
BS EN1125 or 179 standards, and they
are available for single and double PVCu,
aluminium and timber doors, plus there is the
option of fitting an outside access device too.”
greenteQ Anti-Panic devices are reversible,
cutting down on a fabricator’s stock holding
and eliminating handing errors.
