Project Specification Group
adds inspirational architectural
ironmongery to its offering
» » WHEN CREATING A ROOM
designed to enthuse, invoke
and impress, every detail
matters. Project Specification
Group, a unit of ASSA ABLOY
Opening Solutions UK &
Ireland understands the
importance of quality and
attention to detail and has
therefore launched new ranges
of design-led ironmongery to
complement any project.
Architects, specifiers and
designers across the UK
can now opt for unique and
inspiring ironmongery from
a range of premium brands
including Elmes, Fusital and
Valli&Valli, as well as benefit
from industry expertise
from Project Specification
Group’s nationwide team of
consultants.
The new ranges of
architectural ironmongery
incorporate a wide variety
of materials such as bronze,
wood and chrome and have
been fashioned to make an
impact, with designs featuring
in prestigious projects across
the world.
With design icons including
Fosters & Partners, Zaha
Hadid and David Chipperfield
exclusively fashioning door
handles among the ranges, this
new offering is creating a buzz
across the architectural sphere.
One design of particular
interest is the H363, which
was created exclusively for the
Fusital range by acclaimed
architect and designer David
Chipperfield, who has been
knighted for services to
architecture in both the UK
and Germany. Effortlessly
fusing functionality with bold
and contemporary design,
Chipperfield has delivered a
piece of door furniture that
would set any room alight.
Tim Checketts, Specification
Director for Project
Specification Group, said: “An
aesthetically pleasing and
well-designed door handle
can make all the difference
to a room, adding finesse
with stunning subtle details.
Design-led ironmongery will
complement today’s modern
building designs and enhance
an architect’s vision, making a
statement in its own right.”
The new Elmes, Fusital and
Valli&Valli ranges complement
Project Specification Group’s
existing Skyline and Excel
Hardware ranges, which
combine aesthetics with
function, ergonomics, safety,
longevity and environmental
responsibility.
Project Specification Group
is also pleased to announce
its new capability in providing
bespoke ironmongery
solutions to suit specific
customer designs.

NEW 3 STAR CYLINDER FROM KENRICK
» » KENRICK HAS EXPANDED ITS
cylinder range with the introduction
of a new 3 star high security cylinder.
Independently tested to meet the latest
security standards of the British Standard
Kitemark (TS007 3*), the Kenrick 3 Star
cylinder has been designed for those
fabricators who want a top of the range
door locking solution at a reasonable
price.
The new Secured by Design approved
cylinder features multiple high security
pins to provide maximum security and
excellent resistance against the known
cylinder attack methods – picking,
drilling, snapping, bumping, pulling and
screwing.
Steve Williams, Kenrick’s sales and
marketing director, says: “With more
than 70% of burglars gaining access to
a property through a door, the choice of
hardware for that door is a very important
decision for any homeowner. Sadly, the
number of attacks on doors is increasing
because intruders can quickly and quietly
manipulate the cylinder and gain access
to a property – typically in less than 15
seconds. We need to stamp this type of
crime out and offer far greater peace
of mind for the homeowner. Our new 3
star cylinder eliminates any possibility
of tampering with the cylinder, making
homes much less vulnerable to attack.
“The real beauty of our cylinder though
is that it meets the standards of TS007
on both sides of the cylinder, which
means that fabricators only need to stock
one cylinder for both open in and open
outdoors. It’s also compatible with an A1
key blank, so homeowners can easily buy
extra affordably-priced keys from the high
street if they need to. These great features
have already enticed two major fabricators
to Kenrick because they wanted a reliable
and versatile solution with absolutely no
drawbacks.”
The cylinder is manufactured in a
polished brass or a nickel finish and can
be easily retro-fitted with no additional
preparation. It is available as Paired Alike
or Thumb Turn and in all sizes from
70mm to 110mm in 5mm increments.
The cylinder has also been tested to
100,000 cycles and comes with a 10-year
mechanical guarantee.
