YALE 3 star locking barrel as STANDARD – As part of the PAS24:2016 compliance a security locking barrel can be required to the main entrance door . MFT chose to partner up with YALE and believe delivering household brands in the name of security will add additional confidence for the homeowner .
High quality FUHR main door lock as STANDARD – MFT believes FUHR to be one of the leaders in terms of high quality and robust locking systems . It is their belief that having a lock that not only protects against attack but is also incredibly reliable is key to trade confidence . Noone wants to have to go back to a customer ’ s house for failed locks … Patented pre gasketed aluminium clip bead with a quick release deglazing tool supplied with each kit as STANDARD – First of its kind , Made for Trade has developed what they believe to be the best clip bead on the market . The patented mechanism utilises an outer part of traditional powder coated aluminium to match the surrounding sash perfectly , but they have invented a way of harnessing the high tolerance and reliable snap characteristics seen in thermal break polyamide material to work as the clip element . With the high precision materials and equally high manufacturing tolerances , the result is stunning and MFT claims that it reduces beading time to a matter of seconds per sash . That is not all though . On those occasions that glass needs to be removed , a special deglazing tool that engages down the glass line to remove the bead quickly and easily in a couple of seconds has been included in each kit . This means the glass can be removed without risk of damaging the powder coating finish of the bead or sash .

Self-adjusting , floating roller hardware with sealed bearings for a true glide feel as STAND- ARD – One element in a bi-folding door that says if it is a quality product or not is how smooth the glide is . Therefore , MFT developed a unique roller bogey that has a floating axle across the two stainless steel tracks . By spreading the load equally across both tracks it not only vastly reduces wear from undesirable loads , but it also allows the bogey to function smoothly . This is essentially the same principal as to why suspension in a car is so important . The smooth glide is also enhanced using sealed bearings in each of the stainless-steel wheels . Even the stainless-steel lateral rollers that guide the door between the tracks have been designed to encompass sealed bearings .
Ergonomic anti-back-drive shootbolt handle with integrated key lock as STANDARD – Designed for added peace of mind for the consumer , MFT developed a shootbolt handle with two fantastic features . Firstly , the key passes through the handle

blade which makes it impossible to open the door whilst the key is still in situ . Ordinarily this could result in damage to the opposing sash from where the key fob would impact it as they concertina together but by ensuring the handle can ’ t turn whilst the key is still in , this issue is eliminated . Secondly , they designed the handle so it couldn ’ t be back driven from the outside if left unlocked . This essentially means that the key is a belt and braces safety net and not the sole means of security on the shootbolt handle . MFT believes that this feature will give great peace of mind to the consumer and only adds to the bold innovative approach the engineering team that developed the door took in the design process .
Rolled in thermal breaks on selected profiles to eliminate overspray onto the polyamide ensuring a high-quality finish as STANDARD – MFT managing director , Bradley Gaunt said : “ I don ’ t think the consumer appreciates spending money on a product that only works great , they expect it to look great too .

What often can let the side down is overspray on the thermal breaks which can be seen when looking at the sashes end on for example . It detracts from the quality feel and rightly so . You wouldn ’ t expect your car tyres to have overspray from your wheels and this is no different .” To solve this issue MFT have gone the extra yard and had any profile that is seen in this way to have each half of the profile painted first and rolled together with the thermal break second . They believe this creates a stark contrast and clean look that the consumer will appreciate and frankly should expect .
Bespoke designed and suited traffic and shootbolt handles with matching finishes as STANDARD – Along with the clever , innovative anti-back-drive

shootbolt handle , MFT developed its own bespoke matched traffic door handle too .
