HARDWARE
HARDWARE UPGRADE FOR VERTICAL SLIDERS
» » QUICKSLIDE HAS ADDED A
further bonus to its Vertical Sliding Sash
windows with a switch to Fab&Fix Hardex
hardware from ERA.
The move, part of the Yorkshire fabricator’s
recent consolidation of hardware suppliers, not
only gives a step-up in looks and performance
but also further endorses the company’s full
ten-year guarantee on all products. The new
hardware items have the additional bonus that
they are also available in a wider range of eight
colours and finishes.
Both the standard and the Heritage ranges
manufactured by Quickslide – which are
also available via its newly acquired sister
company Welglaze – will now predominantly
use ERA products, as Marketing Director
Tom Swallow explained, “These are premium
products that are tested to retain their
finish for longer without showing tarnish
or pit-marks, and that is why we are more
than happy to include them in our ten-year
guarantee.”
The move is part of Quickslide’s ongoing
strategy of establishing close, long-term
partnerships with major suppliers, which
has already brought benefits from working
this way with companies such as Edgetech,
Pilkington and Synseal.
Yorkshire-based Quickslide is best-known
for its acclaimed sliding sash windows.

Lock-Lock Successfully Launched at FIT Show
» » THE2017 FIT SHOW WAS
another spectacularly successful
event for Brisant Secure. Brisant’s
stand was in a prime spot at the
entrance to the VIP area, in Hall
7. It won the Most Creative Use of
Shell Award too, for the design.
It was Lock-Lock, Brisant
Secure’s new security handle,
which had everybody talking. The
handle not only looks great, its
patented design protects against
cylinder picking, bumping,
drilling and snapping. Flick the
switch on the inside handle and
you activate Lock-Lock’s unique
spindle block, so the door can’t
be opened from the outside, even
if the cylinder is breached. If the
spindle can’t be turned the door
won’t open. And it’s also available
for doors that are only ever locked
from the inside, so no key is
required: just the internal switch
– which makes it ideal for use on
conservatory, patio, bi-fold and
double doors.
Lock-Lock is available from
June in a range of finishes. It
fits both PVC-U and composite
doors, with reinforced M6 bolt
fixing options in both 122mm
and 211mm. A Lever Pad option
will also be available.
