SUREFIRE STABILITY FOR FORCE 8
COMPOSITE DOORS WITH ERA
The auto firing multi-point lock, SUREFIRE, from
security experts ERA, has helped Force 8, a leading
window and door manufacturer to offer their
customers a superior range of composite doors.
» DENNIS SUMNER, FORCE 8’S
Managing Director explains: “ERA’s
SUREFIRE 3-latch system provides enhanced
stability. The last thing customers need is
to find locks seizing into keeps, which can
occur on single-latch options if a composite
door bows. I’d highly recommend ERA’s
SUREFIRE multi-point lock because it’s
secure and simple to use and easy to fit. To
eradicate the bowing of composite doors we
have introduced a more highly reinforced door
slab, and brought in a heat-resistant paint.”
SUREFIRE delivers effortless multi-point
locking: simply close the door to fire all
locking points and turn a key to deadlock. The
effortless functionality of SUREFIRE coupled
with clever design, ensures that doors fitted
with SUREFIRE will always be pulled into
the correct position, avoiding issues associated
with misalignment, resulting in reduced calls
backs.
The versatility of SUREFIRE for timber and
composite doors combined with the option to
have a different gearbox position, depending
on the style of the door, delivers maximum
security and effortless door operation.
A concealed motor can be added or retro-
fitted to any SUREFIRE, this can then be
used alongside an access control device/ system
to transform the mechanical MPL into an
electro-mechanical motorised solution.
SUREFIRE not only delivers many levels of
security, including anti-jemmy hooks, anti-saw
protection and three stainless steel latches, it
also improves the overall performance of the
door by aligning the door, and sealing it firmly
against the frame every time.

furniture.
These exciting new finishes and designs
include Monkey Tail, Regal and Noble

matching letter plates, all under the Fab &
Fix brand with the patented Hardex finish,
which is backed by a comprehensive 10-

finishing touch to any door, where
consumers want to enjoy the luxury
appeal of Pewter and Forged Black

composite doors are on the up, it’s also an
opportunity for installers to offer a bespoke
composite door with true heritage and
architectural appeal.
Stephen Nadin, Managing Director of
Endurance Doors commented: “We’re
always eager to launch new products
and with a robust product development
programme in place, we’re also looking to
add value to our proposition. This means
that we can support our trade customers
with a point of differentiation and the
promise of an exceptional, solid and secure
composite door.
“Not only do our doors look
exceptional, but they perform incredibly
well, thanks to a number of unique
product features including our Moisture
Barrier System and wet glazing process.
It’s also part of the reason why so many
companies are making the switch to
Endurance.”
