Swinging Open in Half the Time
»»BOHLE HAS LAUNCHED ITS NEW
swing-door Self-closing Corner Fitting,
which in eliminating the recess required
to house traditional floor springs, trims
installation time by half.
The highly innovative solution replaces
the conventional floor springs used in
traditional internal swing-door selfclosing systems with a cutting-edge
hydraulic system.
A new addition to Bohle’s Patch Swinging
Door System, the new Self-closing Corner
Fitting doesn’t need to be recessed and can
be fitted in as little as 45-minutes, using just
four screws to achieve a fixing to the floor,
as part of a simple two-stage process.
This delivers a significant on-site time
saving compared to traditional installation
techniques, including time lost for cement
to cure.
Also featuring simple and easy zero
positioning of cover plates, the double
action ‘push/pull’ system opens to 90° and
features fully adjustable closing speeds.
Dave Broxton, Managing Director, Bohle
Ltd, said: “In traditional installations
a huge amount of time can be lost in
channelling out recesses to accommodate
floor spring housing and then waiting for
cement to cure.
“Our new Self-closing Corner Fitting
cuts installation time by half, to around
just 45 minutes from start to finish. On
multiple installations, the time saving can
be staggering, cutting time on site and
delivering more margin on each and every
job.”
‘cutting-edge
hydraulic system’
Suitable for use in buildings with a midrange footfall and underfloor heating, the
system is fully tested to 500,000 opening
and closing cycles in line with EN 1154.

Turning into a 3-Star
»»HWL WINDOWS GROUP HAS OPTED
to fit Avocet Hardware locks on all its
new composite and PVCu doors.
The Leeds-based Group, which
consists of HWL Trade Frames and
Nordic Aluminium, has a nationwide
reputation for supplying trade installers
with the very highest quality windows
and doors and has begun to exclusively
install Avocet’s TS007 3-star and SS312
Diamond accredited ATK snap secure
lock, and its popular 1-star Pioneer
cylinder.
Luke Boyes, HWL’s systems manager,
said: “It’s important to us to give our
customers’ choice, and Avocet delivers
exactly that. It has a depth of cylinder
options that is unrivalled in the industry
– from top of the range snap-secure
locks like ATK and ABS through to
standard 1-star locks that so many of our
customers still demand.”
Avocet’s ATK snap secure lock was
developed to assist companies seeking
to adjust to the implementation of
LOCKSMITHJOURNAL.CO.UK | MAR/APR 2016
Sponsored by ABUS
Document Q of the Building Regulations.
It is currently the only Euro-cylinder
for composite doors that carries the
Master Locksmith Association’s highest
rating – SS312 Sold Secure Diamond
accreditation –, a British Kitemark TS007
3-star rating and Secured by Design
accreditations.
ATK also features a thumbturn element
that incorporates Avocet’s new click
secure system, which makes use of a
positive click turn action that means it
can’t be bypassed with the wire tools that
make a great deal of other thumbturns
a major security risk. Additionally, its
use of a standard key allows all leading
locksmiths to produce them quickly and
easily, and without recourse to end-user
registration.
