HARDWARE& SECURITY
BUTCHERED, ATTACKED
AND PAS 24 SECURE
When Kestrel Aluminium Systems took
Lock Lock to an official, independent
test house for the PAS 24 assessment
of a door, the handle withstood some of
the most rigorous abuse ever seen on a
test video for a product of this type and
can be seen at www.bit.ly/2GqN2IW.

being increasingly adopted by
the locksmith sector, but also by
aluminium systems houses such as
Kestrel, their respective fabricators
and also by the entrance door
sector as a whole. It’s based on a
registered edgeless design that’s
not only beautiful in appearance
but is purposeful in application,
as the handle body cannot be
grabbed by tools for forceful
removal.
The video shows a sustained
attack for over a minute in a test
house environment with a full
set of available tools and once the
handle is finally removed, Lock
Lock’s unique patented spindle
stops the would-be burglar thanks
to several clever design details. In
relation to this PAS 24 test, Lock
Lock is also the only security
door handle that carries the Sold
Secure certification from the
Master Locksmiths Association.

selling opportunities
strengthened
» » YALE HAS DEVELOPED
its smart door locking range
and marketing support to help
fabricators and installers get to
grips with the new technology
and provide a superior product
offering for end-users.
In October of last year, Yale
released its TV advert for the
Conexis® L1 to raise awareness
and promote the lifestyle
benefits of Smart Door Locks to
homeowners.
What’s more, in 2017 the
Smart Living suite opened its
doors, providing a space for
Yale’s customers to familiarise
themselves with the smart
products first hand, as well as
ask any questions.
As the popularity of smart
door locks increases, Yale has
also extended its range to offer
a variety of new finishes. The
Conexis® L1, which launched
last year, as well as the popular
Keyless Smart Door Lock have
both been updated to include
brand new colour options.
The new colours give
homeowners more choice to
select a finish that suits their
style of door. The satin nickel
and polished brass finishes
have been designed to suit
both traditional properties and
modern homes alike.

AN END TO PITTING HARDWARE CALLBACKS
» » ASK MANY INSTALLERS ABOUT THE
biggest frustrations in their business and the
answer you’ll get back is about callbacks to
replace pitted or failing hardware. But talk to
any installer who uses Trojan’s Stainless-Steel
hardware and they’ll tell you that callbacks are
a thing of the past.
Zinc or aluminium-based plated or
painted products will corrode sooner or
later as a result of salt or acid erosion attack
especially if the surface coating is damaged.
It’s a problem that has big cost implications
for installers. Every callback takes time
away from new installations that generate
revenue for a business. Plus, if hardware

starts to fail, it doesn’t matter how happy
a customer was when the installation was
first completed or how well the complaint
about the failure is handled, the customer’s
opinion of the installer is likely to be
negatively affected.
Trojan’s market leading 25-year surface
finish guarantee protects installers against both
these issues.
So, if you would like to protect your
business’s bottom line and preserve your
well-earned reputation, Trojan’s Stainless-Steel
range has the answer.
