HARDWARE& SECURITY

A Traditional Choice
»»Leading hardware
manufacturer, Kenrick has significantly
increased production of its high security
timber door lock as the industry sees a
growing consumer appetite for quality timber
entrance doors.
Production rates of the door lock are at an
all-time high since it was launched two years
ago to cater for the rising demand for timber
among discerning homeowners. The door lock
has been designed to offer the highest levels
of security for the end user, whilst making
installation faster and easier for installers
working within tight timescales.
Steve Williams, Kenrick’s sales and
marketing director, says: “Timber is often
the preferred choice for traditional and
country style properties, particularly in
rural and conservation areas where planning
regulations have become more stringent.
Homeowners are definitely becoming more
sophisticated in the choice of material for
their entrance door and they don’t want it
to be compromised with an inferior door
lock.

“We’re delighted with the success of this
product and believe it is one of the best
systems available in the industry today,
offering a host of features that are unmatched
by other products.” Steve adds.
The doorlock has a 45mm backset optimises
the handle clearance from the outer frame for
ease of use, whilst fully adjustable keeps enable
the hooks to fully compress the gaskets when
locked.
For the installer, there is a high level of
adjustment available on the keeps, which
ensures that it is fast and simple to fit without
undermining overall security or performance.
The lock’s 20mm wide faceplate features radius
ends to enable easy preparation and fitting on
a timber door sash.
Its fully adjustable keeps can be easily
routed into the outer frame to provide a
completely flush finish. The latch is fully
adjustable and the hook keeps can be adjusted
to +/- 2mm to ensure that the door provides
adequate sealing compression.
