HARDWARE & SECURITY
“ Exceptional reliability, quality, aesthetics and value”
»»
IN A TIME-PRESSED industry, finding ways to save time and make life easier for customers is more important than ever. It’ s something Epwin Window Systems has always understood and thanks to its in-house Safeware hardware range, fabricators can order both their profiles and hardware in one single process.
Safeware offers all the benefits you would expect from an Epwin Window Systems brand. The unrivalled range includes branded locks, hinges, handles, stays, cylinders, vents and furniture for all Epwin Window Systems’ product types. Every item in the range has been chosen for its exceptional reliability, quality, aesthetics and value. When correctly specified, they also comply with Document Q, hold the Secured by Design accreditation and all relevant BSI Kitemarks for complete peace of mind. The Safeware brand maintains high stock levels at its Telford warehouse so there’ s no need to worry about product availability or delays to schedules.
There’ s also the benefit of having the flexibility to choose exactly the level of security and aesthetics required without having to worry about profile compatibility, something that delivers another tick in the box of simplicity.

HOME SECURITY EXPERTS, ERA, has achieved the prestigious Investors in People Gold accreditation, reflecting the company’ s commitment to its team.
The Investors in People standard, which ERA first achieved in 2014, measures how well an organisation meets three key criteria; leading, supporting and improving, through a performance model of progression. ERA’ s Gold accreditation indicates even higher performance in people management, which is bench-marked against global industry practice.
Nicky Purba, Human Resources director at ERA explained,“ We have worked hard to ensure that ERA’ s core values are embedded throughout the entire business and inform every decision we make.
“ We lead by example and actively encourage open communication via regular staff meetings with elected departmental representatives and senior management. This has enabled us to empower our team to make decisions and to act upon them with confidence.
“ In addition, we can see a direct correlation to business performance and Investors in People. It has enabled us to recruit high calibre personnel which has in turn improved our productivity.
“ With Investors in People running through everything we do, our approach to customers reflects the positive environment in which our team works.”

STAINLESS-STEEL HANDSHAKE FOR HARDWARE COMPANY
»»
LEADING TIMBER FABRICATOR Glyngary has partnered with VBH to develop a PAS24 certified door solution. Glyngary, a family-owned window and door fabricator since 1985, saw an opportunity to develop a door specification and security hardware package that helps them stand out from competitors.
Glyngary wanted a long-lasting product using hardware which could match the performance of Accoya, the world’ s leading long-life sustainable wood, guaranteed against rot for 50 years. VBH’ s stainless steel greenteQ
Coastline range is corrosion resistant, has a long-projected lifespan, a proven security record and a 25-year guarantee, so it was the obvious choice. It was used with the stainlesssteel Yale Mantis 3 multipoint door lock which is also corrosion resistant.
The range is made from Grade 304 stainless-steel, so it’ s exceptionally resistant to corrosion even in the harshest conditions. This is particularly relevant when using Accoya as, in common with most durable timber, there is a small amount of acid present in the wood which will attack base metal fittings.
Coastline’ s 25-year guarantee is the first of its kind and the range is also covered by the company’ s comprehensive Q-secure security performance guarantee.
