RICHARD REEVE TO TAKE
AXIM TO NEW HEIGHTS
TPG, The Parkside Group Ltd has
announced that Richard Reeve, Sales
Director will be exclusively looking
after one of its major divisions, Axim
Architectural Hardware. We caught
up with Richard to find out more.
» » RICHARD HAS BEEN WITH TPG FOR
15 years and is excited to take the leading
hardware brand to even greater heights.
He said, “Axim is one of the most trusted
brands in the industry for reliability and
quality. Axim celebrated 30 years of
business last year and having worked
throughout the industry I know that
the Axim TC-8800 series of Concealed
Transom Closers is well known for its
superb long-term performance and as
part of TPG, Axim, is backed up by market
leading delivery to its European wide
distributor and partner network.”
During the last 30 years Axim has
extensively developed its product range to
include all the hardware that top quality
commercial doors require. Richard
commented: “Just about everyone knows
the top performer - the Axim TC Series
of Concealed Closers; however, I am
not sure that everyone is aware of how
extensive the Axim product range actually
is. For example, the Axim PR Series Panic
Exit range is
comprehensive,
and the Axim Panic
Exit Locking Handle is one of the most
high-quality products I have seen which
fits across the entire range.”
The Axim branded product range
includes Emergency and Panic Exit
Devices that are certified to BS EN 179 and
BS EN 1125, a range of handles including
D-handles, Lever Handles, Pad Handles,
Pull Handles and Tube Handles, Floor
Springs which can take a door weight of
up to 150Kg, Locks including Mortice,
Dead Latch, Extension Flush Bolts for
security slave doors.
The Axim TC-8800 Series of Concealed
Transom Closer will fit most major
manufacturer’s doors and has three
different strengths. The TC 9900 is a
universal closer which is ideal for repair
and maintenance and where closers have
failed, the TC9900 offers a fast solution
without the need for costly repairs.
‘installers and
distributors can minimise
the closers they carry’
A SOLUTION FOR ALUMINIUM
& TIMBER DOORS
Richard continued: “Axim is known
very well in the aluminium door industry;
however, the Surface Mounted Door
Closer, the Axim FC Series, offers a
solution for both aluminium and timber
doors; in fact it even comes as standard
with fixings to suit both materials. This
means that installers and distributors can
minimise the closers they carry, and the
Axim FC-1000 Series has been tested for
Fire Rating to BS 476-22 1987.”
Offering innovative solutions has
been at the fore of Axim and launching
new products such as the Axim ES-2100
Electric Strike a remote access product
that offers installers a reduction in
installation and maintenance time. The
Axim LK-2100 Reversible Deadlatch offers
a non-handed solution which means that
installers and distributors can reduce
their stock-holding by only stocking one
Deadlatch instead of two.
Last year Axim had a face-lift with a
new revamped logo, which joined the new
website and Technical Literature which
offers extensive technical, specification
and installation information with speedy
navigation to get you to the place you need
to be, visit www.axim.co.uk
Axim designs and supplies a
comprehensive in-stock range of transom
closers, panic exit devices, electric strikes,
deadlatches, surface mounted door
closers, floor-springs, flush-bolts, letter-
plates, locks and handles through a pan-
European distributor supply chain.
