HÖRMANN TRUEDOR has further strengthened the security credentials of its composite door range with the introduction of the new ISEO R700 S3 High Security Cylinder, now supplied as a standard feature across the range at no additional cost. Forming part of Hörmann Truedor’ s ongoing commitment to product development, the new ISEO cylinder ensures installers and homeowners benefit from the latest advances in door security.
Engineered to provide outstanding protection against today’ s most common methods of forced entry, the ISEO R700 S3 features a patented locking mechanism and has been independently tested to rigorous UK security standards. It has achieved TS007
3 Star certification and Secure Diamond accreditation, giving installers and homeowners confidence that the cylinder meets the highest recognised levels of domestic door security.
The cylinder incorporates a range of advanced security features, including anti-snap technology with sacrificial sections and an internal protection mechanism that helps maintain the security of the door even if the cylinder is subjected to a snapping attack. Additional anti-drill protection is provided through hardened drill-resistant components, while resistance to specialist attack methods is enhanced with Ice Attack Protection. A tungsten carbide cam assembly further improves both durability and security.
Designed with ease of use as well as security in mind, the ISEO R700 S3 benefits from precision engineering and tight manufacturing tolerances, delivering smooth, reliable operation throughout its service life. The cylinder is available in both key / key and thumb turn configurations to suit a wide range of residential applications.

Polar NE secure NHS contract on‘ completely unique’ £ 65m hospital project
A WINDOW and door specialist has secured a major new contract to help construct a £ 65m NHS mental health hospital.
Middlesbrough-based Polar NE will install more than 150 reduced-ligature windows and doors at Bradford’ s Lynfield Mount Hospital.
Yet incredibly, the team won’ t initially step foot in Yorkshire.
Instead, Polar NE will install the windows over 300 miles away at a factory in Lisburn, near Belfast- before each‘ living roomsized’ unit is carefully shipped across the Irish Sea.
It is another example of this unique style of construction- known as modular- being used to build an NHS mental health hospital.
“ We have worked on modular builds for traditional hospitals, but this is a complete unique mental health space, and we hope it will act as the blueprint for other projects going forward,” said Polar NE’ s Partnership Manager, Nick Sutton.
The project- headed up by main contractor McAvoy Group- will see the current central building refurbished, with en-suite facilities added across two wards, while an extra two-storey ward will be added to the existing site.
Outdoor garden spaces and recreational areas are also set to be added as part of the redevelopment, which is expected to be complete in 2028.
According to Polar NE’ s Operations Manager Rob Lofthouse, the work will see the award-winning company“ use a bit of everything” from its innovative range of unique products.
These include Polar’ s secure window and door products, developed specifically for demanding healthcare environments.
“ This is exactly the type of project where our experience and product range come together,” added Rob.
“ Time and time again, we find solutions that meet the very specific needs of mental health environments, and if we don’ t have them, we are uniquely skilled in that we can create them from scratch.
“ These projects require close collaboration, innovation, and a genuine understanding of what healthcare providers need- it is a sector we’ ve pushed the envelope in for over 25 years.”
