HARDWARE& SECURITY
Take your pick of pocket hardware
» » SLIDING AND FOLDING DOOR
hardware manufacturer, P C Henderson,
is pleased to announce the launch of its
new Pocket Door Pro range of sliding door
hardware. Available in standard, soft close,
self-close, fire rated and automated variants
– the new system is set to be one of the most
flexible and versatile pocket door hardware
systems on the market.
The new 120kg capacity system has
been designed using a high quality, robust
aluminium frame making it ideal for
new builds and areas of heavy use such as
educational buildings, hospitals, hotels,
office blocks and disability access areas.
Designed with ease and speed of installation
at the forefront of the product development
process, the product comes with pre-
assembled components and a push together
frame.
“Pocket Door Pro comes with a number
of detailed design elements to make the
installation process as easy as possible.
The track is provided with a machined cut
out allowing hardware to be removed for
adjustment without removing the entire
system. All of the framework is pre drilled,
saving the installer vast amounts of time
on measuring and drilling – as well pre-
assembled parts so that the framework can be installed using a simple ‘push and click’
approach”, commented Andrew Royle, Sales
and Marketing Director at P C Henderson.
Pocket Door Pro Fire Rated is also part of
the new range which is a fully certified pocket
door system to FD30 or FD60 standards. The
kit contains all the benefits of the standard
system with the addition of a specially
adapted FSC Redwood liner kit complete
and intumescent seals. The process of finger
jointing reduces any issues with twist, bow
and cupping, making it ideal for this type of
application.
The system is available in seven different kit
variants (catering for doors up to 2315mm
x 930mm), 120mm or 125mm finished wall
thickness as well as a variety of functionality
options – including soft close, self-close and
automated. A high-quality liner kit is available
as an optional extra, providing customers with
the freedom to create their own method of
finish as and when required.
and I posted on Facebook about the poor
standard of locks on everyone’s doors. After
a recent incident the enquiries flooded in
and I’ve had to work weekends to cope with
demand.”
Steve Stewart, CEO of Brisant Secure
concluded: “The latest figures show that
217,350 new homes were added to the housing stock for 2016-2017. We have to
question how many of these had a 3 Star,
Sold Secure Diamond door cylinder fitted
on all exit doors, as locksmiths such as Tiger
Locks are seemingly fitting them en-masse
after localised break ins.”

fitted with basic cylinders that can be snapped
in less than 10 seconds. With around 900
homes broken into through the door every
day and 85% of these through snapping,
homeowners are becoming increasingly
worried about their safety.
