ERA’S PARTNERSHIP WITH TITAN TRADE WINDOWS
SECURES PAS24 COMPOSITE DOORSET SOLUTION
Security expert, ERA, has
completed testing to PAS24 &
BS6375 on a composite doorset
solution that enables Titan Trade
Windows to service the needs
of its developer customers more
proficiently than ever.
Thanks to the trials done at
ERA’s in-house UKAS accredited
facility, Titan Trade Windows
can now begin fabrication of
the composite door solution inhouse.
Achieving PAS24 certification,
the composite door comprises
a Vista slab fitted with ERA’s
hardware including the composite
door multi-point lock, door
hinges, door handle and the
highly acclaimed Sold Secure Diamond
Fortress 3* Euro cylinder.
With lock snapping widely
recognised as a form of entry
for intruders, ERA’s Fortress 3*
cylinder offers maximum resistance
against entry by the most
aggressive means of snapping,
along with protection against
picking, bumping and drilling.
The Fortress’s first defense is its
British Standard TS007 3* status
with the ‘3*’ clearly visible to
deter any would-be intruder. The
cylinder is independently tested
to Sold Secure Diamond and
the police’s Secured by Design
accreditation.
The 2 hook multi-point lock on
the doorset features twin high-security
hooks offering maximum
resistance to forced entry thanks
to the bi-directional throw. The
security of the lock is matched by
its aesthetic appeal as the radius
ends fit perfectly into the grained
edge-banding on the door.
Commenting on the new
composite doorset solution, Titan
Trade Windows’ Operations Manager,
Ben Vowles, said:
“We have always sought to
develop long-term partnerships
with our customers and suppliers,
as is the case with a number of
East Midlands regional developers
with whom we work closely.
ERA’s testing means we are now
in a position to fabricate the
doors ourselves and manage an
additional element of the build
schedule for the developers and

Reliable and easy to use, BeeSecure
enables users to detect movements within
their home, even if they are miles away.
The system features a central hub, called
the Bee-Hub, which links a series of devices
inside the home to an app on the user’s
phone. If a sensor on one of the devices is
activated, the homeowner is alerted with a
notification on their phone.
Devices in the BeeSecure range include
a motion sensor, an object movement sensor,
a camera, a smoke detector, a doorbell,
and a window and door sensor. The
window and door sensor is lightweight
and compact and it detects if windows or
doors have been opened. It also allows
homeowners to check remotely if all their
windows and doors have been properly
closed. The sensor unit can be fitted by
fabricators onto new windows and doors
and it can also be retro-fitted onto any
existing doors and windows around the
home.
Steve Williams, Kenrick’s sales and marketing
director, says: “Today’s consumers
embrace modern technology and smart
home security has the potential to transform
the way we live – making properties
more secure and home entry easier and
more convenient.
“BeeSecure is a brilliant early warning
system for homeowners, whether they are
at home or not. It can let them know if
anyone is outside or inside their home, if
any windows or doors are being tampered
with and even if smoke is detected inside
their property. Ultimately, it makes their
home and safer and more secure place
and gives them greater peace of mind.
“We’re proud to be at the forefront
of the industry by bringing a security
innovation that delivers what modern
homeowners want, whilst also helping
forward-thinking fabricators and installers
to enter the ‘smart’ market.”
Cost effective and easy to use, BeeSecure
has been designed to enable homeowners
to prepare their homes to be
fully-smart in the future. It is also very
versatile and the central hub can connect
up to 16 BeeSecure devices. Additional
devices can be added with the Bee-Repeater.
