SUREFIRE STABILITY FOR FORCE
8 COMPOSITE DOORS WITH ERA
» THE AUTO FIRING MULTI-POINT
lock, SUREFIRE, from security experts
ERA, has helped Force 8, a leading
window and door manufacturer to offer
their customers a superior range of
composite doors.
Dennis Sumner, Force 8’s Managing
Director explains: “ERA’s SUREFIRE
3-latch system provides enhanced
stability. The last thing customers need
is to find locks seizing into keeps, which
can occur on single-latch options if
a composite door bows. I’d highly
recommend ERA’s SUREFIRE multi-point
lock because it’s secure and simple to use
and easy to fit. To eradicate the bowing
of composite doors we have introduced
a more highly reinforced door slab, and
brought in a heat-resistant paint.”
SUREFIRE delivers effortless multi-
point locking: simply close the door to
fire all locking points and turn a key to
deadlock. The effortless functionality of
SUREFIRE coupled with clever design,
ensures that doors fitted with SUREFIRE
will always be pulled into the correct
position, avoiding issues associated with
misalignment, resulting in reduced calls
backs.
The versatility of SUREFIRE for timber
and composite doors combined with
the option to have a different gearbox
position, depending on the style of the
door, delivers maximum security and
effortless door operation.
A concealed motor can be added
or retro-fitted to any SUREFIRE, this
can then be used alongside an access
control device/ system to transform
the mechanical MPL into an electro-
mechanical motorised solution.
SUREFIRE not only delivers many levels
of security, including anti-jemmy hooks,
anti-saw protection and three stainless
steel latches, it also improves the overall
performance of the door by aligning the
door, and sealing it firmly against the
frame every time.

Stephen Nadin, Managing Director

development programme in place,
we’re also looking to add value to our
proposition. This means that we can
support our trade customers with
a point of differentiation and the
promise of an exceptional, solid and
secure composite door.
“Not only do our doors look
exceptional, but they perform
incredibly well, thanks to a number
of unique product features including
our Moisture Barrier System and wet
glazing process. It’s also part of the
reason why so many companies are
making the switch to Endurance.”
