HARDWARE & SECURITY 5X Normal 3 Star Test Standard Brisant-Secure has purposefully created a lock that is at the top of its game for quality, durability and performance. » » RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THAT OVER 85% of door buyers say security is the most important factor when buying a door and they’re prepared to pay for high performance and build quality. Molybdenum is 25% denser than iron. In Ultion WXM the two-part plug has increased engagement with the new curved cap and this section is moulded from molybdenum. This is then coupled with the thicker WXM key. Improved drill protection is delivered with 20 anti-drill points and the core shielded with a new molybdenum plug. Lockdown Mode becomes Double Lockdown Mode. The BS EN1303 test requires standard 3 Star locks to achieve 100,000 cycles. If the lock and key meet the required 100,000 cycles, it can be sold in the UK with this accreditation. Ultion WXM is still going strong at 500,000 cycles. It’s the extra molybdenum that is keeping it going strong. www.brisant-secure.com New additions to greenteQ Aspire range » » THE GREENTEQ ASPIRE HARDWARE range, designed for contemporary sliding doors, has been expanded to include a new Bi-fold Intermediate Handle, Sprung Door Handle and Escutcheon Plates. Designed to operate locks on the intermediate points of a bi-fold, the Aspire Intermediate Handle uses 43mm fixing centres, matching most intermediate locks in the market. It is suitable for use on aluminium, PVC-U and timber bi-folds and, standing at only 16mm from the face of the profile, allows the sashes to fold back neatly in the fully open position. Rob Norman, Lifestyle Product Manager at VBH says: “We introduced the Aspire furniture range to complement our hardware offering for on-trend ‘Grand Designs’ styled, oversized and heavy sashes. With the trend showing no signs of slowing, the addition of the Intermediate Handle and Sprung Door Handles/Escutcheons means homeowners can benefit from stylish, contemporary hardware on their front door and rear bi-fold. Our 10-year corrosion and mechanical guarantee comes as standard, and fabricators and installers can order online via VBH24, or call their local Area Sales Manager for a demonstration of the range.” www.vbhgb.com New BSI certificate for DOM UK » » DOM UK LTD - A specialist manufacturer of high security locking solutions, has recently been awarded the ISO 9001:2015 quality management system certification by the British Standards Institute (BSI) By meeting the extensive criteria and internationally recognised mark of quality, DOM UK proves its commitment to consistently delivering quality outcomes for partners, suppliers and employees. 64 By achieving the ISO 9001:2015 certification, DOM UK has demonstrated that it will work tirelessly to meet the quality standards that it’s partner network, suppliers, and all stakeholders expect.
