Mila Supa™ Door Knockers:
Where Design meets Durability
» THE ENHANCED RANGE of Mila Supa™ Door Knockers combines classic and modern aesthetics with outstanding durability to provide the ultimate finish for any front door.
Adding to the range, the SUPA™ door knocker is now available in an additional four distinct styles – Victorian Scroll, Doctor, Ponytail, and Modern Oval – offering distinct, high-impact styles and seven finishes: Polished Stainless, Brushed Stainless, Polished Gold, Luna Black Stainless, Luna Grey Stainless, Black Stainless, and White Stainless. The comprehensive range of SUPA™ Door Knockers is a welcome addition to the urn and slimline, providing flexibility to suit a wide range of door designs and customer preferences.
Crafted from high-quality 304 stainless steel, Mila Supa™ Door Knockers deliver exceptional longevity, backed by the highest industry standards. They have been independently tested to BSEN 1670 Grade 5 corrosion-resistance and have undergone 1,000 hours of NSS( Neutral Salt Spray) testing, making them ideal for application in the harshest weather conditions.
The range is designed for easy installation, with a concealed fixing bracket that allows fitting without drilling through the door. This simplifies the installation process while preserving the clean, decorative look of the knocker’ s sculpted profile and creating a flawless exterior finish. As with all Mila SUPA™ products, it is backed by Mila’ s 25-year Stainless guarantee.
Julie Holmes, Sales Director at Mila, comments:“ The launch of our Supa™ Door Knockers responds to growing market demand for highly visual front door accessories that enhance kerb appeal without compromising on quality or ease of installation. This makes them an ideal choice for fabricators looking to meet the latest trends.”
Building on the success of Mila’ s market-leading premium door hardware, the Supa™ Door Knockers join the fully suited Mila Supa™ range, which also includes door handles, letterplates, pull bars, escutcheons, escutcheon pulls, knobs, numerals, and more – helping fabricators deliver cohesive, high-quality door systems with confidence.

ASSA ABLOY EXTENDS P600 + CYLINDER PATENT FOR ENHANCED KEY COPY PROTECTION
» THE P600 + CYLINDER from ASSA ABLOY has had its patent extended to 2036, providing customers with total peace of mind that their keys are protected against duplication.
The only legal way of securely protecting key blanks, patents prevent unauthorised key copying and maintain secure key control, making them an essential requirement for any cylinder.
A robust, high-security solution, the P600 + is tested to the highest demands of EN 1303:2015. Built on cutting-edge pin technology, the cylinder is tested to 500,000 cycles and offers a staggering 170,000 masterkey combinations. This makes it ideal for large-scale projects in sectors such as healthcare, education, and local government.
With its paracentric key profile and extended key neck, the P600 + is designed to work with security hardware, providing enhanced security for
Euro profile cylinders. The cylinder is also fire-tested to BS EN1634-1 standards, ensuring it can be used on fire doors to prevent the spread of fire and smoke.
Available in a satin finish and in multiple profiles – including Scandi Oval, Scandi Round, UK Oval, Euro, and Round Threaded – the P600 + is also backwardscompatible with existing P600 platforms.
Sophie Potts, Product Category Manager at ASSA ABLOY, comments:“ There have long been misleading claims out there about key copying and how to protect against it, but the truth is that only patents ensure that extra keys cannot be legally obtained without the owners’ knowledge and permission. With the P600 + patent extension until 2036, we’ re providing our customers with complete peace of mind. Not only is the cylinder one of the safest and most secure on the market, but it is comprehensively protected from unauthorised key copying for years to come.”
