‘A key part of our commitment
to our customers’
» » YALE DOOR AND WINDOW
Solutions has achieved a
product-specific Environmental
Product Declaration (EPD)
certification for its Revolution
Window Hinge.
The globally recognised
declaration provides
environmental information on
the Yale Revolution Window
Hinge and the materials used
to make it. It also details the
manufacturing processes
involved, including the
environmental implications of
the raw material used, energy
efficiency, transportation
impact, and waste
generation.
Paul Atkinson, Sales and
Commercial Director for Yale
Door and Window Solutions,
comments: “This is a key
part of our commitment to
providing customers with a
range of sustainable products.
The Revolution hinge
already offers class-leading
functionality and quality,
so the addition of an EPD
positions the product as both
an industry and environmental
leader.”
Thanks to its unique
patented dual closing
function, the hinge can be
switched after installation
between anti-blowback
and easy close functions
depending on specification
and housing requirements.
Onsite configuration allows
for increased flexibility across
housing portfolios with
multiple building types and
also helps reduce time and
costs associated with returns
or contractors carrying high
levels of stock.

OPENING DOOR TO MORE KEY
CUTTING OPPORTUNITIES
» » UNION, PART OF THE
Door Hardware & Access
Control Group, a business
unit of ASSA ABLOY Opening
Solutions UK & Ireland, is
advising locksmiths that they
may be missing out on valuable
revenue opportunities.
The Willenhall-based lock
manufacturer is recommending
UNION’s outlets do not miss
out on additional business
opportunities, over the belief
that 112A profile key blanks
for UNION differ cylinder
ranges cannot be purchased or
reproduced.
It has been reported that
because many locksmiths and
key cutters understand that
key blanks such as the 112A
profile feature patent protection,
there is a misunderstanding
that replacement key blanks
cannot be purchased or copied.
However, this patent protection is
designed to maintain key cutting
with locksmith professionals
and ensure that end users utilise
genuine UNION key blanks.
Independent locksmith
and key cutting professionals
can seize additional business
opportunities by cutting new
keys from blanks for a range
of popular UNION cylinders,
such as the 112A Profile, which
is available from most major
wholesalers.

Blanks for these cylinders
can also be ordered from
UNION directly with
immediate dispatch, enabling
locksmiths or key cutters to
offer additional customer
services, quickly and easily.
