Door manufacturer ABL Doors used Astra closers to help create sleek, elegant entrance doors for apartments at Denham Film Studios in Buckinghamshire. In its 1940s and 50s heyday, Denham Studios was a thriving film production studio producing classic British films such as Brief Encounter and Great Expectations. The site has now been lovingly developed to provide 224 conversion and new build homes, including 154 one, two and three- bedroom apartments and 70 four and five-bedroom family townhouses. Features within the new development include a cinema with bar and a community hall/ fitness space. The cinema – which was originally used to screen movies to Hollywood directors including Stanley Kubrick, Albert ‘Cubby’ Broccoli and Steven Spielberg – has been refurbished and turned into a cinema theatre and club for residents, while the main Grade II listed building has been converted into 49 apartments. In keeping with the high specification of the site, sleek aesthetics were a top priority for Weston Homes whose watchword for the development was luxury. That’s grand!

Throughout the UK over 1,000 doors are installed with Ultion every day and this sales trend is growing strongly, with security the key motivator in entrance door sales. The statistics are compelling when it is considered that many homeowners are reliant on a £3 cylinder to stop an intruder, with a reported 1,127 burglaries each day in England and Wales according to the statistics from the ONS and of these 834 were through a door. Ultion is a Kitemarked 3 Star cylinder that also carries Sold Secure Diamond, a standard set by the Master Locksmith Association, along with Secured by Design. It also offers extreme protection against lock drilling, bumping, picking and snapping even when the key is in the lock. With a history steeped in the locksmith sector, Ultion has also become a true flagship lock for locksmiths.
