opportunity to discuss our latest
product developments with
those in the industry. 2018 was
a huge year for Eurocell and
our hard work has positioned
us as not only the number one
profile systems company in the
UK, but also the top recycler
of PVC-U frames. With even
bolder ambitions and targets
in place for the business
throughout 2019, we’re looking
forward to celebrating our
successes with customers new
and old at FIT.”
Builder, TV personality and
Eurocell Champion, Craig
Phillips, will also be on stand
each day. Attendees will
be able to chat with Craig,
who has recently completed
his ‘Dream Build’ home
project, fitting Eurocell PVC-U
windows and bi-fold doors
throughout to maximise
thermal efficiency.
Visitors to Eurocell’s stand
will also have the chance to
win £1000s of pounds worth
of prizes in a competition
running throughout the show,
with a prize draw to win a

The Big Apple Smart
Lock Launch
» » MIGHTON PRODUCTS, WHICH
launched its new Apple HomeKit-based
multipoint Avia smart lock at the high-tech
Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las
Vegas earlier this year, is to make the
product available to the UK window and
door home improvement market through
the UK’s leading hardware distributor Mila.
Mila and Mighton will be exhibiting together
at the FIT Show on a stand dedicated
exclusively to this exciting new product
(H30).
Avia, the world’s first Apple HomeKit
smart lock to be developed for multipoint
systems, is controllable using iPad, iPhone,
Apple Watch, keypad and fob and is a full
function smart lock that revolutionises
entrance door security: the multipoint locks
are secured by simply raising the handle
and unlocked using the app installed on
an Apple iPhone or iPad; by using a highly
7 2 MAY 2019
secure key fob from a range of up to 300
metres, or via an electronic keypad.
Mila’s Managing Director Richard Gyde
says: “There are more than 1.3 billion
users of Apple products worldwide and
the prospect of offering such an advanced
product, the world’s first for multipoint door
locks, is very attractive. Demand is growing
for smart locks and we look forward to
working with Mighton, a long established
specialist hardware supplier, to develop the
home improvement market with them.”
Mila will use its extensive market
presence and expertise to introduce the
Avia smart lock to resi door manufacturers
and installers serving the home
improvement market, with demand expected
to grow as smart technology becomes more
broadly acceptable in this marketplace.
Mighton is also developing further related
smart home products based upon Apple
HomeKit technology,
which is regarded as the
most secure and robust
available.
Mighton’s Mike
Derham believes that
Mila has the market
reach to ensure that Avia
realises its full potential
in the sector: “We operate
on the periphery of the home improvement
market and believe that Mila will ensure that
the full potential for Avia will be realised. As
the only Apple HomeKit-based multipoint
smart lock, demand for Avia will be strong
and companies that offer Avia as an option
for their customers will enjoy the kudos that
the Apple HomeKit brand and technology will
bring to their product.”
