ALL ABOUT THE DOOR
SASHSTOP Keeps on Delivering
SASHSTOP is proud to be celebrating its sixth year supplying products to locksmiths . Furthermore , we are delighted to have a patent granted for the “ SASHSTOP Original ”, our first product .
» SINCE 2017 , WE HAVE ENDEAVOURED to keep manufacturing new products to assist locksmiths in keeping our customers protected from burglaries .
At SASHSTOP , we believe that no locksmith should have to walk away from any job that they attend . Burglars will try any method possible to break into people ’ s homes and businesses . So , after engaging with locksmiths at exhibitions , we have designed a range of repair plates that will enable them to repair , temporarily or permanently , forced and burnt UPVC doors and windows .
We have designed and launched a range of cover plates , which can be fitted under door handles ; known as TORCHGUARDs . These will cover damaged doors that have been attacked by burglars , using the new technique called ‘ blow torching ’.
Before our TORCHGUARD plates were available , a locksmith would simply secure the doors temporarily and inform customers that a new door was required . However , with the use of these cover plates , this cosmetic damage can now be masked , whilst still offering structural integrity . A new 3-Star cylinder and handles can be fitted , leaving the door appearing better and providing a higher degree of protection .
We have also designed cover repair plates for doors where a crowbar or screwdriver has been used to attack , as well as corner repair plates ; where door welds have cracked under attack .
The repair cover plates come in all sizes to accommodate any lock backsets and some versions are reversable to fit narrow , old style profiles , and have been intended so they will not overlap the edges of the frames . We have also designed a discreet version too if you need to change the door handles and new handles don ’ t cover the screw holes properly leaving the door waterproof .
As working locksmiths , we appreciate some lock failures need to be drilled open
