All new locking solution for stable doors
The MACO C-TS stable door lock system is the latest addition to the C-TS
‘combined’ door lock range available from hardware specialist VBH.
The bottom lock features a key
operated lock case, so no handle is
required on the lower door, just a
profile cylinder and escutcheon cover. The top door features C-TS lock
which can be used as a standard lift/
lever (lever/lever) or a split spindle
(lever/pad) lock if preferred.
‘The new MACO lock
is a superb solution
for PVCu, timber or
composite stable doors’
The new stable door lock includes steel
hooks on both leaves as standard and manufacturers can choose to order locks with
or without ‘intelligent security’ IS cams. The
lock has a true stable door function, offering
the choice of opening just the top door or
opening both leaves together as one unit.
Gary Gleeson, Marketing Manager VBH
commented: “The new MACO lock is a superb solution for PVCu, timber or composite
stable doors. As with all C-TS locks, the
solid steel tapered hooks provide supreme
strength coupled with a very smooth closing action.
“The choice of coupling shootbolt
lengths on the lower half means that
only a small hole needs to be drilled
through the transom for the bolt to pass
through. This represents great time,
effort and cost benefits to door manufacturers used to fitting other products that
require the lock itself to be fed through
the transom.”
The MACO C-TS Stable Door Lock is
available from VBH in a choice of 35mm
or 45mm backsets.

KEEP YOUR HANDS
PROTECTED WITH
SAMURAI STEEL
The new Showa S-TEX® 376
protective glove has been
added to Globus’ portfolio to
provide a reliable solution to
workers in all industries, for
the secure handling of oily
components and materials
that present a high degree
of mechanical risk.
Injuries to fingers and hands
rank as the highest of all workplace injuries and are also the
most preventable. Laceration
injuries can also be incredibly
costly both financially and in
terms of the quality of life impact.
The Occupational Health & Safety
Administration based in the US
(OHSA) estimates that the combined indirect and direct costs of
a laceration injury are £23,700
with downtime, loss of productivity and potential legal costs all
contributing to that figure.
In addition to cut protection,
the glove is comfortable and
allows hand dexterity so that
performance is not compromised.
The S-TEX 376 glove is made using SHOWA’s Hagane Coil® tech-
nology and offers blade cut resistance to help users to work safely
and comfortably when handling
objects with sharp edges and slippery surfaces. The three-quarter
nitrile coated base protects from
oils, grease and abrasion whilst an
additional coating of nitrile foam
covers the palm and fingertips to
provide long lasting grip in wet
and oily conditions.
Showa’s patented Hagane Coil®
constituent within the lightweight
13 gauge liner combines Hagane
stainless steel with polyester to
provide extremely high levels of
cut resistance. It uses a unique
coiling technique that twists the
polyester yarn loosely around the
stainless steel core. This allows
the steel core to be protected
when the hand bends and flexes
for maximum protection, comfort and performance. It may be
interesting to know that Hagane
steel is the high carbon steel
used in forging Japanese Samurai
swords.
Steve Shale, Marketing Manager
of Globus, said: “It’s always good
to enhance our range with gloves
that will have a significant positive
effect on wearers’ safety – this
glove offers protection against
cuts and lacerations, which are all
too common in industry. Workers
shouldn’t be at risk of getting
cuts to hands caused by ineffective hand protection. When hand
safety challenges are analysed,
specific task-related gloves can be
specified that not only protect the
workforce, but encourage productivity too.”
