HARDWARE
STAINLESS STEEL DOOR KNOCKERS
PROVING POPULAR CHOICE
» » THE TROJAN GROUP
added two door knockers to its
renowned Stainless Steel range
last year and they are proving
to be a popular addition. Tony
Chadwick, Trojan’s Group
Managing Director, said: “The
aim of the Slim Urn Door
Knocker and the Contemporary
Door Knocker was to increase
the number of design choices
on offer and help bring Trojan
quality to a wider audience.
Sales suggest we’ve done exactly
that.”
They have been designed with
the installer in mind because they
are face fixed so there is no need
to drill through the door, making
installation quicker and easier.
Both have a slimline
contemporary design that will
appeal to today’s discerning
consumer. Both suite with all the
other products in the Stainless-
Steel range to provide a totally
coordinated approach. Both
are available in a full choice of
finishes including Polished/
Brushed Gold (PVD), Polished/
Brushed Stainless, White and
Black. And, perhaps most
importantly, like all the products
in the Stainless-Steel range, both
products come with a 25-year
anti-corrosion guarantee.
The sales of the door knockers
demonstrate Trojan’s ability to
spot trends and react to them
with value-added products that
enhance fabricators’ and installers’
portfolios.

Emergency hardware
supports safety standards
» » ESTABLISHED HARDWARE
supplier Carl F Groupco is
promoting its extensive range
of panic and emergency exit
gearing, which meets stringent
safety standards for public and
commercial installations.
Commenting on the
importance of offering support
to the hardware sector, John
Mitchell, Carl F Groupco’s
Technical Manager explains:
“It can be time consuming
for fabricators to translate
standards into hardware selection
– recognising this, we ensure
that we are well versed in the
regulations that impact this
process and ensure we are fully
equipped to advise customers on
the best route to achieve panic or
emergency exit doors.

“It’s important to establish
exactly where the door set
will be fitted and who will be
using it - this will determine
what hardware is required to
meet regulations. Non-public
buildings, for example, where
potential users have received
full door operation training,
require hardware to meet the
EN 179 standard for emergency
exits. However, if the door is to
be fitted to public buildings or
other premises where occupants
may not be familiar with exit
routes and hardware devices, the
door will need to meet EN 1125
for panic exit.”
