this autumn
» » AS THE LEAVES TURN AND THE
nights draw in fast, autumn
is traditionally the time when
homeowners think about battening
down the hatches and fortifying their
properties against burglars and bad
weather.
For locksmiths, fabricators and
contractors, however, security isn’t
a seasonal concern but a year-round
requirement. Anyone retrofitting
an existing door must now ensure
that the cylinder and handle they’re
fitting always meet the 3-star TS007
certification. This standard was
specifically developed to address the
rising number of break-ins and aims to
deliver maximum protection against
five common forms of cylinder attack,
including drilling, snapping, plug
extraction, picking and bumping.
The standard relates to both the
cylinder and protective door furniture.
The goal is to meet the highest 3-star
rating and this can be achieved by
mixing and matching TS007 complaint
hardware to add up to those magic 3
stars.
Window Ware stocks a range of
security hardware from some of the
biggest and most trusted brands.

» » THE VIDA ALL-PURPOSE SCREW
pack provides a convenient and efficient
solution by containing a selection of
screws.
Vida screws come in packs offering a
mix of popular sizes for versatility, with
features that make them resilient and
reliable.
Designed to suit an assortment of
materials – hardwood and MDF for
instance – these screws do not require
pre-drilling. The Pozi recess prevents
cam-out and improves torque, and the
double countersunk head decreases the
likelihood of sheer and assists completion
of countersinking.
Also, the screws’ low torque coating
enhances insertion time, provides
extra driving torque and protects from
corrosion. It also has a 40° deep single
thread that provides a secure fixing with
high pull-out resistance and an easy-start
slash.
Whatever your next project – be it
commercial or DIY – these screws are
the ideal solution, saving you time and
money when selecting the right screw
for a job.
A pack of Vida All Purpose screws is
available at the great price of £12.50.
Available from IronmongeryDirect,
along with over 15,500 other products,
orders can be placed as late as 8pm for
next working day delivery, and by 3pm
on weekends.
