HARDWARE & SECURITY FOCUS NEW RANGE OF FRICTION STAYS FROM AT PRECISION
The UK’s Leading Glass & Glazing Newspaper
HIGHLY ANTICIPATED REGAL HARDWARE HERITAGE DOOR HANDLE HITS THE MARKET
Leading aluminium hardware supplier AT Precision has strengthened its range of market-leading products with the launch of a comprehensive suite of friction stays. Designed to combine optimum weathersealing, security and operational performance, the friction stays are suitable for both uPVC and aluminium windows, and are available as 17ml stack height. There are three versions in the range – standard, egress and easy-clean egress – which all have the crucial advantage for fabricators that they can be fitted on standard profile systems without any additional preparation being required. The new range follows on from AT Precision’s £60K investment in an equally high-quality range of espagnolette window handles, available in chrome, satin, silver, grey, black and white. AT Precision Sales Director Michael Hewitt comments: “We’ve always placed product quality and competitive pricing very high on our agenda, and the addition of this new range of friction stays means that our customers can easily satisfy all their aluminium hardware needs with reliable products that are built to last. “Our range of hardware for aluminium windows and doors is constantly growing, and because we manufacture in-house, we’re able to offer our fabricator customers affordable prices that are hard to come by in the current market. It’s our goal to provide
a long-standing and trouble-free service to all our customers, and the new range of friction stays has been a very worthwhile addition to our product portfolio.” AT Precision’s Everglide range includes rollers, top guides, pull handles, hinges, cleats and shootbolt handles, all of which are made from cast aluminium and are compatible with major systems. The company also manufactures the Everseal range of gaskets, also compatible with major systems, and supplies the Ingenious Duplex MPL from Ingenious Locks, as well as plastic ancillaries which include injection-moulded cill end caps and adapter caps. The company manufactures all its bi-fold hardware and gaskets in-house, meaning it can offer products directly to fabricators, cutting out the middle man and potentially saving them thousands of pounds a year. AT Precision also promises next day delivery on all orders made before 1pm, and free delivery on orders within the UK over £250. Visit www.atprecision.co.uk

EASY & CONVENIENT SECURITY Both post boxes have sleek outward facing letter flaps for added protection from the weather. Big enough to fit C4 envelopes, the drop front opening makes collecting post easy and will ensure that important letters aren’t cramped inside.

With these features allowing customers to personalise their own letter box, the Classic range is highly popular. A sleek post design is embossed on both post boxes as an added touch of elegance.

Window Ware adds a new heritage door handle to its top-selling Regal Hardware range and thereby fulfils fabricators’ wish lists for a fully suited solution. The period style door handle is a very natural progression for the popular Regal Hardware brand, which has taken the market by storm with its eye-catching monkey tail and pear drop casement window handles, matching stays and pegs, plus dummy and working butt hinges. Homeowners who invest in new flush sash windows for their period properties often want matching French doors installed at the same time, so having a full complement of coordinated heritage hardware is really going to simplify sourcing and make life easier for fabricators. Window Ware’s Product Manager, Rob Vaughan, concurs, “We know from regular conversations with fabricators, especially those working with The Residence Collection flush sash systems, that there is a real need for a heritage door handle which suites perfectly with the rest of the Regal Hardware range. After months of careful research and meticulous product design, we think the Regal Hardware designers have nailed it with their exquisite new door handle offering!” Just like the rest of the Regal Hardware range, this door handle comes in a choice of traditional monkey tail or pear drop designs AND customers can take their pick from the full palette of 9 stunning finishes, including ever-popular black and on-trend rose gold. “Fabricators will be able to tell the quality the moment they take these handles out of the box,” insists Rob. “The generous lever gives the handle a distinctly solid feel and, importantly, makes for a firm
and super comfortable hold. No detail is overlooked and if you look closely and you’ll find the well-recognised ‘R’ seal of quality reassuringly stamped into the face of every back plate.” As you’d expect, the door handle has been rigorously tested to guarantee performance and long-lasting durability, with a well-proven spring cassette that will resist lever droop, and screw/ spindle packs included as standard to suit 70-75mm thick profile systems commonly used for flush sash French or single doors. Longer 90mm screw and spindle packs are also available with pre-marked cut lines at 44mm and 62mm to accommodate a range of PVCu, composite and timber door thicknesses. To reduce stock holding for fabricators, the levers and back plates are supplied separately and can be assembled during door manufacturer to work for both leftand right-handed operation. “These heritage handles are going to make a stylish statement on any door,” adds Rob. “We’re confident they’re going to be a big hit with homeowners looking for something a bit more special.” The new Regal Hardware heritage door handle is in stock and available to buy now.
