Offering Customers Versatility
Without Compromise
Kenrick has reported a successful first six months since the launch of its
high specification Excalibur split spindle door lock, during which a number of
high volume customers have added the lock to their range of products.
»»Many top hardware
distributors and fabricators have boosted
their suite of products with the split spindle
door lock which brings greater flexibility to
fabricators who want to quickly and cost
effectively fabricate either a lever/lever or a
lever/pad system from just one lock.
The versatile door lock is a development
beyond traditional twin spindle locks which
require a longer back plate for all types
of operation. It incorporates a standard

92mm centre, which has been designed to
accommodate both long and short back plate
handles and either a solid spindle to make a
lever/lever lock or a split spindle to create a
lever/pad lock.
Steve Williams, Sales and Marketing
Director at Kenrick, said: “As the window
industry gathers pace in 2015, there is more
pressure on fabricators to deliver products
within even shorter
timescales but without

compromising on performance. This product
is an intelligent alternative to traditional twin
spindle locks. We believe the door lock has
been in demand since we launched it last year
because it brings guaranteed speed, simplicity
and versatility to the fabricator so they can
increase production rates and make the most
of better trading conditions.”
The door lock brings an added benefit for
installers who can easily alter the operation
of the door set after installation by
simply changing the handles and
spindles without needing to
change the lock or re-route the
door sash.
As well as bringing greater
convenience to the fabricator
and installer, the Excalibur
split spindle door lock also
offers guaranteed levels of
security for the homeowner.
Durable and robust, its three
hooks, two steel anti-lift bolts
and three rollers ensure exceptional
performance and smooth operation.
For greater flexibility, the Excalibur split
spindle door lock is extendable and utilises
a gearbox which is sprung on both spindles
to avoid the need to buy more costly sprung
handle sets. A wide choice of components,
including a one piece keep, individual hook
roller and centre hook latch and roller keeps,
is also available.
