Triple glazing trend

Barrier Components has introduced
its new stainless steel 304 system
for bi-folding doors, tested to accommodate door sash weights up to
120kg.
Vistafold 120S has been designed to meet
increased demand driven by the current
trend towards triple glazing and is a system
that performs smoothly and quietly during
operation.
Suitable for both residential and commercial applications, Vistafold 120S offers an
adjustable, secure and weather tight bi-folding solution. The system is sold in either
component or kit form and is an important
addition to the already popular Vistafold
range.

steel wheels and pins and a satin anodised
aluminium track. Odd leaf sets are available from launch with an even leaf system to

established brand supplying architectural
hardware for the steel gate, sliding door and

PLATINUM PROTECTION
AGAINST CYLINDER ATTACK
Lock specialist Yale has launched its new Platinum
3 Star Cylinder, designed to provide superior
strength against known cylinder attack methods.
In response to growing concerns amongst
consumers and rising
media reports on lock
snapping, Yale is encouraging installers to
advise their customers
on the best door hardware to help prevent
such attacks and ensure their home security is up to standard.
With this in mind, Yale
has recently launched a
new Platinum 3 Star Cylinder, designed to defend
homes with its anti-snap,
anti-bump, anti-pick and
anti-drill technology, enabling installers to offer
customers an innovative
solution that will deter
even the most determined
intruder.
The cylinder has been
independently tested by
the BSI (British Standards
Institution), to be awarded the British Kitemarked
TS007:2014 3 Star accreditation, meaning no additional security furniture is
required to comply with
the standard. As a result,
installers can simplify the
range of door hardware
they carry and encourage
price conscious customers
to upgrade, as they do not
have to replace the whole
door set. The cylinder has
also been approved by
Secured by Design, the
official UK Police initiative
supporting the principles of
designing out crime.
The Yale Platinum 3 Star
Cylinder has a snap-off
front section that sacrificially breaks away if attacked,
meaning there is less of the
cylinder to grip. It also has
advanced pin tumbler technology and durable nylon
key head for ease of grip
and identification.
Steve Ross, cylinder business development manager
for Yale’s parent company
Assa Abloy, said: “We are
committed to developing
products to help combat
known methods of cylinder
attack and the Yale Platinum 3 Star Cylinder is no
exception. This product
enables installers to provide their customers with
a robust security offering
that doesn’t break the bank
and can be easily fitted in a
matter of minutes.”
Available in both brass
and chrome finishes, the
cylinder comes supplied
with three keys as standard
and is available in Box or
Visi packaging.
