PROUD SPONSOR OF ALUMINIUM EXTRA
‘ORIGIN’ OF ALUMINIUM HAS NEW NEMSIS…
Origin, the UK’s leading manufacturer of aluminium
doors and windows, has chosen the Nemesis
multi-point window locking system from Kenrick
for its brand new aluminium window.
» » BUILT FROM HIGH-GRADE
aluminium, the Origin Slimline Window has
been designed with an ultra-slim frame (65mm)
to maximise the amount of light and achieve
ultimate views. To maintain the window’s
signature slim sightlines, it was essential that it
incorporated a locking system with the shortest
possible backset and the smallest mushroom
cams that would fit snugly inside the sash.
Having reviewed every other system on the
market, Origin chose Nemesis from Kenrick.
Neil Ginger, CEO at Origin, explains: “We
launched our new Slimline Window in response
to a significant demand for a slimmer sightlined
window that offered a wider customer appeal,
without compromising on quality. This initially
posed a challenge for us because we needed to
source a multi-point locking system that was
compatible with its narrow frame. Obviously,
the system had to incorporate enough locking
points and offer first rate security, but crucially
it needed to be short enough to fit correctly
inside the sash. It was also essential that the
window lock was competitively priced..
“Although we have just launched this
product, we’ve already received so many
enquiries for it and have doubled our order
with Kenrick. We’re confident that Kenrick will
be able to keep pace with the growth of this
product and I’m looking forward to a long and
successful partnership with them.”
Steve Williams, Kenrick’s sales and marketing
director, added: “Origin has put considerable
thought into the design of its new window.
We’re delighted to have delivered what they
want from a bespoke locking system and
played a role in bringing this new window to
market.”
Nemesis is a high security bi-directional
twin cam espagnolette window locking
system that has been designed to offer rapid
installation for the fabricator, whilst providing
ultimate security for the homeowner. Secured
by Design and PAS 24: 2016 accredited, it
features a robust offset handed die-cast gearbox
and bi-directional twin cam locking. It also
corporates stainless steel faceplate drive bars and
mushroom cams (5mm and 7mm heights) to
enhance both its appearance and longevity.

made adding the line and the
necessary investments completely
worthwhile,” Colin adds. “We

the tools they need to really grow
their business and meet any
demand. We are delighted to see
that our customers have really got
