GET A GRIP ON TILT / SLIDE PATIO DOORS
Hardware manufacturer , VBH , has recently introduced a new greenteQ handle set range for tilt / slide patio doors .
Tilt / Slide patio doors ’ ability to offer a large opening when in the Slide mode or controlled ventilation in the Tilt position makes them a popular alternative to standard inline sliding patio doors .
The new BGT10 handle sets are taken from VBH ’ s Continental greenteQ product range and , as such , are available in the finishes most popular in Europe . These are white , brown , F1 silver anodised , F4 bronze anodised , and F9 dark silver anodised .
There are Standard and Slim variants available . The Standard external lever stands off the door face by 51mm , while the Slim outer handle stands off by just 24mm , allowing it to pass the fixed mullion as the door slides open .
Rather than supply the handles in a set , VBH supply BTG10 as separate inner and outer halves . This ordering format allows fabricators to choose a Slim or Standard outer , as well as opting for different internal and external colours .

In response to requests from customers , the popular Alpha resi-door handle set is now available in 12 finishes .
VBH describe greenteQ Alpha as a premium quality handle set
for use with entrance doors and bi-fold doors . It features a number of benefits including sprung levers , thicker fixing bolts and a flange around the cylinder profile cut out . As a part of the greenteQ Suite , it is matched in colour and lever style to Alpha casement and tilt & turn handles , and Aspire lift / slide patio door handles .
Gary Gleeson , Marketing Manager at VBH says , “ Alpha was originally launched in eight painted and plated finishes , before we added our Enduro and Antique Black options in 2019 . A number of customers who buy these original finishes also have a need for gold and silver anodised finishes , and don ’ t like mixing handle styles to obtain these colours .”
