Increasing
supply with
door lock
Leading MACO distributor Window Ware has
supplied the new MACO M-SPAG telescopic
shootbolt espagnolette and C-TS Combined door
lock to Harpenden Windows, with great results.
Paul Booth, Owner of the Hertfordshire-based manufacturer said:
“We have used MACO products now
for a while on casements, and so
the move to M-SPAG was a simple
choice, given the speed of fitting and
the flexibility it gives us. Moving to
the C-TS combined door lock was a
bigger step, and we are delighted
with its smooth operation and reliability.”

Closers make
prestigious grade
Bedford-based Window Ware stocks both
the MACO M-Spag telescopic shootbolt and
C-TS combined door lock hardware and has
also been delighted with the interest in the

about the new range speaks volumes.”
Andy Omand, Sales and Marketing Manager of MACO UK added: “Our new series
of innovative products brings a whole range
of solutions for differing window and door
styles using minimal products.”

concealed closers from Astra Door
Controls have been specified and fitted on one of London’s most prestigious developments, The Lancasters.
The Lancasters, on the northern edge of
London’s Hyde Park, took five years to complete and has involved the renovation of
an entire terrace of fifteen magnificent 19th
century houses. The development has been
carried out by Northacre PLC with commercial property developer Minerva PLC.
The seven-storey, grade II listed terrace was
most recently occupied by the Lancaster
Gate Thistle Hotel but has now been meticulously remodelled to create 77 individual
properties including 10 penthouses and two
town houses.
The specification for the interiors was
lavish, retaining the original style and grandeur of the Victorian houses. Ironmongery

Ltd in Art-deco style polished chrome, and

growth.
Demand for foiled products is growing rapidly,
according to Sarah Starkey,
Business Development
Manager for the Evolve
range, and some colours
“Now we have focussed
on the most popular foils so
that we can streamline production and stockholding
and ensure we provide the
best levels of service at all
‘Growing rapidly’
times while fabricators can
continue to access all the
popular foils if required.”
Continuing, she adds, “We
have always had a comprehensive foil range and the
level of uptake shows that
our customers appreciate
this. Now that demand for
foils and colours, as well as
Vertical Sliders, is growing
all across the industry, we
want to make sure that
Synseal fabricators and
installers are in the best position to go on making the
very most out of both these
trends.”
The Evolve VS range will
now be available in White,
Woodgrain White, Golden
Oak, Cherrywood, Cream,
Grey, Irish Oak, Black/
Brown and Chartwell Green,
as well as all colours as ‘On
White’ options.

were selected to retain the clean lines of the
common areas and because, with full adjustability, they were powerful enough to handle the doors’ weight and width, offering all
the adjustability and control of an overhead
closer, even for fire doors.
