GOING FURTHER THAN DOCUMENT Q COMPLIANCE
» WITH ANYONE THAT IS INSTALLING a door or window in a new residential property now being required to ensure the product is Document Q approved , most in the industry would agree that compliance at this level is now the minimum standard for door or window hardware , even if not used in new residential builds .
Whenever there ’ s a ‘ minimum standard ’ in place , manufacturers like Allegion will regularly strive to improve on this ; our core value is indeed , to ‘ Have a Passion for Excellence ’. To comply with Document Q , PAS24:2012 is sufficient . However , at Allegion , we are always looking to go one step further . For instance , as part of a door system , our Brio Weatherfold 4s top hung exterior folding system and Weatherfold 5c rolling bottom system have both achieved the most recent PAS24 standard , PAS24:2016 . Recognised as the architectural standard in exterior folding door hardware , the Brio Weatherfold series is tried and tested , having been manufactured and installed at thousands of sites around the world , and is now even more secure to give specifiers and end users absolute peace of mind .
