HARDWARE& SECURITY
Double Growth
»»TOTAL HARDWARE HAS
celebrated another year of
impressive growth with the
company achieving recordbreaking sales with not one, but
two locking systems from its
long-standing partner Kenrick.
The Leeds-based distributor
has trebled its sales of Kenrick’s
Interceptor high security
espagnolette in just three months
and has also seen sales of Kenrick’s
Standard Euro Profile cylinders
leap by 40% in the last year.
Chris Pell, General Manager at
Total Hardware, explains: “It has
been a fantastic period of growth
for our business and we are really
pleased to mark this great double
success with Kenrick. Our long
alliance with Kenrick dates back
to when Total Hardware was
established in 2004 and it has
stood the test of time because
Kenrick delivers consistently high
quality products at competitive
prices, which is just what the
fabricator wants. With such high
volumes in this sector, a reliable
service is essential and Kenrick
has been instrumental in helping
us to maintain our very high
standards of distribution.
Steve Williams, Kenrick’s Sales
and Marketing Director, added:
“We’re delighted to celebrate
this double milestone with
Total Hardware. Our 12-year
partnership with them is built on
trust, reliability and innovation.”

DOORS NOW AVAILABLE WITH LEADING LOCK
»»AMBITIOUS BRISTOL-BASED
fabricator, The Window Outlet, one of the
fastest-growing businesses in glass and glazing,
has partnered with leading lock suppliers
Ultion to offer high-security Ultion Cylinders
as standard on all its Solidor composite
doors, and as an optional extra on all of its
aluminium doors.
Where many standard locks are highly
susceptible to snapping, Ultion’s innovative
system shifts into lockdown mode when
physically attacked, putting the central cam
lock down, and engaging two sacrificial
sections protected with molybdenum, a
substance 25% denser than iron.
Ultion locks have been tested to the highest
TS007 standard of 3 stars, and feature 11
pins that can create a staggering 249,970 pin
combinations. Also, whereas the anti-snap
capabilities of many locks are completely
nullified if the key is left in the lock, Ultion
Cylinders are snap-proof regardless.
“According to the Office of National
Statistics, 73% of household break-ins
focus on the front door. When end-users
are selecting a door product, security is at
the forefront of their mind – and offering
your customers chance to upgrade to an
Ultion Cylinder is the perfect way to win
over security-conscious end-users,” said The
Window Outlet MD Ben Warren.
