HARDWARE& SECURITY

CONCEALED FIXING HANDLE RANGE REVEALED
»»WINLOCK SECURITY, THE UK’S
leading manufacturer of door and window
handles, has unveiled an innovative range
that promises to purge all peeves from handle
hardware.
The Lifetime Concealed Handle range is
cleverly designed to improve the performance
and look of door furniture by eliminating
corrosion and sagging, whilst concealing all
visible fixings.
No more unsightly chipped, discoloured
or damaged screw heads. With the Lifetime
Concealed’s internal cover plate all screw fixes
are hidden, resulting in smooth clean lines,
both inside and out.

No more fatigued, sagging handles. The
Lifetime Concealed’s sprung handles are made
from hollow stainless steel or aluminium, both
of which are lightweight and far less likely to sag
than zinc, brass or cast stainless alternatives.

Akin to the high performance TS 007
Lifetime Security range, but at a highly
competitive price, the Lifetime Concealed
handle also guarantees customer satisfaction for
15-years on the exposed external parts, all of
which are made from 304-grade stainless steel.
Winlock Security Ltd MD, Alan Parker,
said: “We set ourselves the objective of
producing a door handle range that would
eliminate corrosion issues at an acceptable
cost, whilst also significantly enhancing
the overall look and performance of our
customers’ doors.”

NEW RANGE OF FRICTION STAYS
»»KENRICK HAS
strengthened its suite of hardware
solutions with the launch of a
comprehensive range of friction

available in stack heights of 13mm
and 17mm to suit most profile
systems.

for PVcU, timber and aluminium
windows from Kenrick is
constantly evolving and we now
have an extensive collection of
around 1,100 products in our
portfolio. Providing a long,

trouble-free service life at a
competitive price, this range of
friction stays satisfies the needs
of the fabricator, installer and
homeowner.”
Kenrick has also developed
an egress friction stay - available

applications - to satisfy the
requirements of Approved
