18 | MARCH 2020 News Read online at www.proinstaller.co.uk Quickslide partners with Morley Glass to enhance product offering Leading window and door FAB&FIX DECORATIVE HARDWARE NOW OFFERS PEWTER OPTION With three decades of real world testing and featuring truly matching products, the Fab&Fix range of decorative hardware incorporates four distinct lines: Classic, Heritage, Architectural and S-Series, thereby ensuring a co-ordinated finished look for any application. Now, the security expert ERA has introduced the option of a Pewter finish to its Fab&Fix range of decorative hardware. The industry-renowned ‘Har- dex’ surface finish technology is only available on the Fab&Fix range. This resilient coating has surpassed 1,000 hours of prohe- sion testing, making it one of the most durable finishes available. The range offers a ten-year com- plete peace of mind guarantee, which covers function, the finish and also forms part of ERA’s ‘Total Security Guarantee’. This is the most comprehensive warranty on the market. If a property is protected by ERA’s high security locks and hardware, the com- pany guarantees to replace the homeowner’s damaged window or door and pay out a cheque for £5,000 in the unlikely event that their security is compromised. This payout is further enhanced if the homeowner has an ERA intruder alarm fitted. www.eraeverywhere.com manufacturer Quickslide has made the decision to put the ethos of ‘home grown’ at the heart of a new investment this year, as they announce a new partnership with local blinds supplier Morley Glass. The move will be of major interest to cus- tomers, as the decreased distance and an enhanced product offer- ing equals shorter lead times and an improved turnaround. “Our new relationship with Morley Glass began back in December to ensure that we were ready to hit the ground running with orders in January,” explained Managing Director Ben Weber. “When it comes to integral blinds, our customers are increasingly requesting wider variation in both colour and operating systems. We have taken on two of Morley’s core manual control products; the ‘C System’ which features a rotational cord and a cordless magnetic slider system, known as the ‘SV System’. Each of these are available in traditional, timeless colours including white, creams and greys, but for homeowners wanting to make more of a state- ment through their windows, the choice of bright primary colours provide a great alternative. The proximity of Morley’s premises to us means that we can support the wider cause to be eco-friend- ly by having vehicles on the road for less time, and making more efficient journeys.” The slim control style of the Morley Glass devices makes them ideal for integrating blinds into any product across the comprehensive Quickslide range; a benefit Ben expects to attract new business over the coming months. www.quickslide.co.uk (L-R) Ian Short, Morley Glass MD, Sandra Berg, Quickslide Marketing Manager, Ian Nowacki, Morley Glass Sales Manager Yale DWS and SWC Trade Frames celebrate 15-year partnership Scarborough-based trade fabricator SWC Trade Frames has been an advocate of Yale’s prod- uct range for over 15 years, particularly its multipoint door locks and most recently, its Platinum 3 Star cylinder. Plus, the company was the very first to launch Yale’s new £1,000 anti-snap cylin- der guarantee back in July 2019. Mark Catchpole, Sales Director at SWC Trade Frames, comments: “The relationship between SWC and Yale is truly invalua- ble. After partnering with Yale for so many years, we have developed complete faith in not only its product quality, but also the brand’s dependability. “We know that when we’re using Yale products, everything has been tried and tested to the maxi- mum standards. Plus, Yale’s commitment to informed design, responsible manu- facturing and sustainability considerations assures us that we are delivering top quality products to our own customers.” The Platinum 3 Star Cylinder is Yale’s most secure lock yet; so much so in fact that Yale is offering a £1,000 guarantee in the unlikely event that the cylinder is snapped under attack due to a forced break-in. www.yaledws.co.uk
