ERA’S FAB&FIX RANGE HELPS BOOST
GROWTH FOR HERITAGE TRADE FRAMES
» ERA, THE SECURITY EXPERT, IS
continuing to play a key role in helping
Heritage Trade Frames and its customers
continue to flourish in a competitive
market. The Bolton-based trade super
fabricator has enjoyed steady growth over
the past two years, and management are
clear that part of this success has been
thanks to the popularity of ERA’s Fab&Fix
range of decorative hardware with its
customers. Now the company is adding
the Fab&Fix Heritage range, it is confident
its addition will help its customers to
continue to attract the right type of
business.
Designed with a traditional look and
feel, the Fab&Fix Heritage range provides
the perfect hardware solutions for
creating a sophisticated style, which is
particularly ideal for cottage-type doors
and traditional flush casement windows in
period buildings. From door handles and
letterplates to stylish window hardware,
Heritage Trade Frames can now offer
homeowners a new choice of beautifully
designed hardware.
The range’s durable Hardex coating
is resilient enough to withstand up to
1,000 hours of salt spray testing, making
it one of the most durable finishes on the
market. Fab&Fix is perfectly suited down
to the last screw, and offers unparalleled
flexibility. This lack of restriction in suited
style, colour and breadth of range is
unique in the market.
Commenting on the new range, Phil
Cresswell, Heritage Trade Frames’s Sales
& Marketing Manager, said:
“Having worked with ERA’s team and
offered ERA’s Fab&Fix range of decorative
hardware for thirteen years we’re very
happy to recommend both the service
and range of products that the company
provides. Most of our business lies with
retail customers, and they recognise the
Fab&Fix range as a premium brand that
they can simply fit and walk away from,
secure in the knowledge that they are
offering an excellent product that will
stand the test of time.
“The fact that we’re now able to boost
their selection of Fab&Fix products with the
addition of the Heritage range is great news
for our retail customers. Those who are
already offering it say homeowners love the
finish and quality of the products.“

UNION launches new Fire Door Kit range
» THE ROLE OF A FIRE DOOR IN
supporting fire safety and integrity
within a building is critical. UNION’s
Fire Door Kit is a single box solution
that helps installers to ensure that they
are fitting correct and fully compliant
hardware.
Until now property owners, facilities
managers and installers have faced a
bewildering variety of hardware choices
when installing or maintaining a fire
door set. With the UNION Fire Door Kit,
all that worry, guesswork and lost time is
now a thing of the past.
Designed for common installation
situations, each Fire Door Kit combines
all the hardware needed to install or
repair a fire door. This includes hinges,
door closer, lockcase, levers and signage,
as well as installation instructions, fitting
templates, fixings and the performance
sheets to hand over to the building
owner for their records.
Crucially, every part included
in the Kit is tested to all relevant
42
standards, ensuring the door will meet
regulations.
There are four different Fire Door
Kits, each designed to work in a specific
application. The Sashlock Kit is ideal for
locking fire doors, while the Deadlock Kit
is a perfect fit for locking storage areas.
The Latch Kit is designed for non-locked
rooms, and finally the Corridor Kit is used
for push-pull non-locking fire doors.
Alison Aston, Category Manager at
UNION, said: “The Fire Door Kit range
is the easiest way to install or maintain
a fire door. We believe this will be a
huge benefit for property owners and
tradespeople alike, as they now have
a way to ensure a fire door is fitted
with all the hardware it needs to meet
legal requirements and work perfectly
too. It’s simple to stock, easy to order,
compact to transport and store on site –
Kit in one arm, door blank in the other,
job done.
“The UNION Fire Door Kit is ideal
for any owner/landlord, tradesperson,
facilities manager or caretaker wanting
to add or maintain a fire door to a
property. It brings instant safety,
compliance and peace of mind while
saving time, and it’s all from UNION, the
most trusted name in fire door safety
and security.”
