New heritage hardware range
» » QUICK TO LAUNCH NEW
products for the composite door
sector, Endurance® Doors, is now
offering the recently announced
and perfectly engineered Fab&Fix
heritage door handle, as part of its
extended hardware range, through
its partners ERA.
This new Lever Lever and
Lever Pad handle range is offered
in antique black, along with
hardex chrome, gold and graphite
and is designed within a suite
of perfectly matching products
including letterplate and bull
ring knocker. The operation of
this new handle has been tested
to in excess of 200,000 cycles
and the finish across the range
meets the requirements of BS EN
1670:2007 Grade 5 Corrosion
Resistance (480 hours).
Many consumers like the
traditional appearance of some
of the period inspired designs
within the Endurance® Doors
collection and the availability
of a new heritage hardware
range that’s designed to last is a
major plus, at a time when some
antique hardware options have
high failure rates and a short
operational lifespan. These new
finishes will also be featured on
the Door Designer.
Stephen Nadin, managing
director of Endurance® Doors
commented: “We’re one of the
first companies in the UK to
make the investment.”

UPGRADING DOOR HARDWARE
» » VEKA TRADE FABRICATOR CONSORT
has just announced that all its residential doors
will be supplied with Trojan’s stainless steel
door hardware. Jeff Dunn, Head of Sales and
Marketing at Consort, said: “Our industry
has experienced a noticeable increase in the
volume of door hardware that is pitting and
corroding. This can cause much irritation to the
homeowner resulting in a remedial visit for the
installer. Stainless steel hardware is not affected
in this way, which is why Consort will be using
Trojan’s stainless steel door hardware on all
residential doors from 6th March 2017.
As well as helping to reduce callouts, the
decision to switch to stainless steel hardware
will give Consort installers an additional
USP at the point of sale. Jeff said: “The
anti-corrosion benefits of stainless steel gives
homeowners added reassurance that they are
investing in a high-quality product for their
home.”
Jeff added : “The decision to move to
Trojan’s TS007-compliant 2 Star high security
stainless steel hardware on our Magnum
composite doors was well-received by our
customers . Having this evidence made the
decision to introduce stainless steel across all
door ranges a simple one.”
