Epwin Window Systems achieves PAS24:2022 across its PVC-U systems
New flush bolt launched by ARRONE
The new 150mm flush bolt from ARRONE , a HOPPE brand , is available in both square and radius variants providing a choice for both door manufacturers as well as carpenters and joiners working on site . It joins the 200mm option which is already available in the AR326 range .
Flush bolts are morticed into a door and are used to lock down the inactive leaf of a double-door set . When the door is closed , the bolts are concealed from view providing extra security . The AR326 flush bolts are of a lever action function and are supplied with fixings suitable for timber doors .
Jonathan Walker , product manager at ARRONE , said : “ The new ARRONE flush bolts provide an unobtrusive solution for securing the inactive leaf on a double door assembly . With a satin stainless-steel finish , they blend seamlessly with commercial doors and coordinate with other door hardware .”
The AR326-150 has been included on successful FD30 and FD60 fire tests making it suitable for use on fire and smoke resistant door assemblies . This is subject to the scope of approvals on the actual door test evidence .

LILAC DOORS ARE SET TO SOAR IN 2024
RegaLead adds four new colours in lilac hues to its standard colour range . As Google searches for lilac doors increased by 271 percent over the past 12 months , and RegaLead has seen more and more request from customers for lilac shades , these were the inspiration for the new colours . RegaLead ’ s team of colourists found the lilac options within the RAL palette uninspiring and made the decision to develop its curated lilac colour shades that are perfect for doors .
Lilac Blush is the pinkest , offering a classic colour twist for traditional doors . The more muted and darker lilac Mulholland Drive
looks fantastic against black frames . Moroccan Sunset oozes lilac sophistication , especially when paired with chrome door furniture . While Plum Blossom is a charming lilac shade designed for homeowners looking to subtly set their home apart from neighbours .
Guy Hubble , Joint Managing Director at RegaLead said : “ Ideal Home published a report saying that lilac as a front door colour is set to soar in 2024 , backed up with comments from leading interior and exterior design trendsetters .
“ We know that the popularity of pink doors over the last few years shows homeowners are more than happy to stray from the black-grey-white palette . Lilac is a more romantic and playful version of grey , and pairs with both light and dark exterior paint colours as well as complementing a variety of architectural styles , and RegaLead ’ s four lilac hues means there ’ s something for every home .”

UAP Launches New Key Wind Lock for Pull Handles
Suitable for composite and timber doors , the Fullex Key Wind lock uses a key or thumb turn to engage and retract the bolts and latch . Once the door is closed , the latch can ’ t be operated without the key . Julian Roberts , Technical Services Director at UAP said : “ The Fullex Key Wind Lock is ideal for use with pull handles on the doors of residential properties , enabling homeowners to benefit from security , reliability , and functionality .
“ If , for example , an intruder tried to open the door just after someone had entered the house with their shopping , they wouldn ’ t be able to get in as the latch would hold the door shut .
“ A further benefit is the lock ’ s simplicity . Other key wind locks on the market require the key to be turned between 360 and 720 degrees . The Fullex Key Wind Lock enables the user to enter the door swiftly and easily .”
In addition , we have developed a matching escutcheon , providing the option of a full , cost-effective system , including a pull handle , Key Wind Lock , high security escutcheon and 1 Star cylinder .
