HARDWARE
Strategic Partnership is ‘great fit’
» » ESTABLISHED HARDWARE
distributor Carl F Groupco has partnered with
Yale to supply the leading lock manufacturer’s
full product range. This announcement is the
latest in a series of significant developments
by Carl F Groupco that will maintain the
company’s position at the forefront of the
UK’s Fenestration hardware market.
Carl F Groupco’s Managing Director John
Crittenden said:
“The Yale brand has instant consumer
recognition along with excellent product
and security guarantees. This is a great fit
with the Carl F Groupco philosophy of
supplying secure fittings backed by strong
warranties that our customers can trust. We
really like the fact that Yale products are
designed for the UK market and the majority
are developed and manufactured in Britain,
which resonates with many of our customers
and supports our On Time in Full delivery
ethos.”
Paul Atkinson Sales & Marketing Director
for Yale added:
“The relationship has been strong for many
years with Carl F Groupco stocking Defender
Friction stays and various Yale ranges,
however with our most recent acquisition of
Trojan Hardware the relationship has become
much closer and more strategic.”

SLIDING DOOR HARDWARE – WE HAVE LIFT OFF
» » LARGE PATIO DOORS THAT ALLOW
lots of natural light into the home have
become increasingly popular in the UK.
Although they look great, some door systems
can be difficult to manoeuvre.
Thanks to the flush lift and slide door
handle from HOPPE (UK), homeowners can
let light in without having to worry about how
to operate the door.
Lift and slide doors allow for much larger
glass panels than other door systems but,
despite the additional weight, are much easier
to use.
Architectural Ironmongers B J Waller
approached HOPPE (UK) looking for a
solution to a non-traditional sliding door
installation.
“We needed a handle for a pair of pocket
lift and slide doors that closed onto a corner
post,” said Adrian Bailey, technical sales
representative at B J Waller. “Standard lift
and slide handles would have collided with
each other, but as the HOPPE handle sits
flush to the door, it provided the perfect
fit.”
By turning the lever handle to 180º, the
panels lift off the track and slide open. The
advanced running gears allows you to move
multiple inline panels that weigh up to 440kg
each.
