Door and hardware
companies Excel in
new partnership
» » EXCEL DOOR SUPPLIES,
the Yorkshire-based supplier of
composite doors, has reported
solid business growth throughout
its seven years of trading. With
recent investment to the tune of
£100,000 in new CNC router
equipment, the company is also
planning to open a distribution
depot in the Midlands. Working
in close partnership with ERA,
the security expert, Excel Door
Supplies says it has built up a
loyal customer base over the
past seven years with installers
and homeowners throughout
Yorkshire.
Utilising ERA’s comprehensive
range of door and window security,
including the new SureFire multi-
point lock and the Invincible
Cylinder, Door Handles and
Hinges, Excel supplies bespoke
composite doors to complement
any property style.
Steven Panesar, Managing
Director of Excel Door Supplies
says:
“It is very valuable when a
supplier’s commitment to service
matches ours. The team at ERA
goes above and beyond the call of
duty to provide a great personal
and technical service to us. I
would go so far as to say that part
of the reason for the success of
the company is down to our close
partnership with ERA.
“A good example of this is the
way the ERA team of designers
and technicians walked us
through using the new SureFire
lock when it was introduced.
In addition, we’re now known
throughout Yorkshire as the
company specialising in the
Invincible Cylinder, which is
highly regarded for its strength
and solidity.
“Our customers understand the
importance of having hardware
that’s truly suited in order to
create a properly co-ordinated
look, and that’s something we
can really rely on with ERA.
We’re looking forward to the next
twelve months, and are keeping
a close eye on new product
developments from our partner.”

HARDWARE HEROES
» » HERO PRODUCTS
highlighted by Carl F Groupco
include PN hardware by
Roto. Carl F Groupco is sole
distributor of this range in
the UK and commends the
brand for its durability, quality,
functionality and innovation.
Carl F Groupco’s relationship
with the manufacturer
dates back to 2001 – it is a
partnership that continues to
flourish following the acquisition
of Peder Nielsen by Roto in
2016.
In February 2018, Carl
F Groupco reinforced its
relationship with Roto with the
addition of the TSL espagnolette
to its catalogue – this meant that
Carl F Groupco now offered the
full Roto Twin-Cam Security Lock
(TSL) range for casement and
reversible windows. The ability
to use this espagnolette with
PN by Roto reversible hardware
enabled the company to supply
the full range of Roto reversible
window sets with lock and hinge,
with all components tested to
Grade 5 corrosion resistance.
When used with the appropriate
supporting components, all of
the hardware is compliant with
PAS 24.
The quality and reliability
of Roto hardware, backed by
customer demand, has led
to Carl F Groupco stocking
the full range of TSL and
SSL espagnolettes. Featuring
single-cam security locking,
the SSL espag is designed for
outward opening and is ideal
for top or side hung outward
opening casement windows.
Profile related keeps are
available and the espagnolette is
compatible with all leading profile
extruders.
Recently, Carl F Groupco’s
technical product team liaised
with Liniar providing advice
regarding hardware for a new
window profile range. The new
Liniar window, designed with
rotating sash for easy cleaning
inside the property, is particularly
suited to high-rise applications.
The established PN by Roto
UNI Reversible Hinge and TSL
Espagnolette complement the
window’s design and will be sold
directly to Liniar customers by
Carl F Groupco.
With a history dating back
over 70 years and over 7,000
product lines, Carl F Groupco
is a leading UK hardware
distributor. Headquartered in
Peterborough, the company is
also represented in Scotland
with a Cumbernauld distribution
facility.
