LIGHTS, CAMERA, ASTRA! 3000 series
act as at Denham Studios development
» » 3000 SERIES CONCEALED DOOR
closers from Astra are playing a starring
role in making fire doors safe yet stylish at a
prestige residential development of an iconic
former film studio. 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! Over 1,000 doors a
day now sold with ultion security
» » ULTION CONTINUES TO
return unparalleled product
adoption as many of the UK’s
leading composite, French,
patio and bi-folding door
manufacturers look to offer
unrivalled security and benefit
from the strong sales messages
and marketing materials that
come with it.
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.
