VBH Unveils New PVCu Catalogue
VBH has unveiled Issue 2 of
its catalogue of hardware and
ancillaries for the manufacture
and installation of PVCu
windows, doors and patios.
Much has changed with
VBH’s range since the
publication of Issue 1 and,
although many stalwart
products carry through from
that first issue, the majority
are new. The company’s own
greenteQ range has expanded
hugely and features heavily with
products for all frame types.
VBH built its business on being
a major distributor of branded
hardware and the catalogue does
much to reinforce the message that
this is still the case, despite the
emergence of greenteQ.
There is no shortage of branded
hardware from VBH’s key market
partners. New developments such
as new manual and automatic door
locks, door handles, 1 and 3-star
profile cylinders, security handles,
letterboxes, parallel sliding and
bi-fold patio systems, folding
openers, security window locks,
shootbolts and even cat flaps from
well known brands such as Dr.
Hahn, Hoppe, Roto, Siegenia, Yale
and others all feature.
Readers may notice that there
is no tilt and turn section. VBH
advise that, due to the large
number of tilt and turn options
on offer, they have produced
stand-alone Tilt & Turn catalogues
for each of the three Tilt & Turn
brands that they distribute. Each
of these catalogues includes
systems for PVCu, timber and
aluminium windows.

FULL HOUSE FOR KENRICK
AND DUNSTER HOUSE
Hardware supplier Kenrick has
developed a bespoke version
of its Excalibur door lock for
Dunster House, the UK’s leading
garden buildings company. The
specially created lock is being
used extensively on the Dunster
House range of timber log
cabins and garden rooms.
Having used Kenrick’s locking
systems for their range of PVC-u
windows and doors, Dunster
House had no hesitation in asking
Kenrick to create a specially
engineered solution for the timber
range.
The bespoke locking system was
developed using Kenrick’s standard
centre lock case and was adapted
with a 900mm long lock with two
roller cams. The lock features a
16mm wide face plate with radius
ends which can be easily fabricated
into the timber profile at Dunster
House’s factory. The lock provides
better compression to the door
frame and has improved both the
security and weatherproofing on
the timber buildings.
Part of Kenrick’s renowned
Excalibur range, the door lock has
been function tested to in excess
of 100,000 cycles and also exceeds
the requirements of BS EN 1670
Grade 4 (severe) rating for salt
spray corrosion resistance.
