BRISANT SECURE LAUNCHES NEW DDA DOOR HANDLE

Ultion announces the launch of a new door handle shape that combines cuttingedge design with DDA compatibility. This new design offers a sleek and modern aesthetic while ensuring adherence to the strict requirements of the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA).

One of the standout features of the Sweet DDA Door Handle is its impressive 20-year anti-corrosion guarantee. With multiple coatings of brass and nickel, this handle maintains its pristine appearance, even when exposed to harsh conditions such as saltwater for over 8000 hours. Remarkably, this exceeds the flagship EN 1906:2012 corrosion standard by an astounding 30 times.

In addition, the Sweet DDA Door Handle boasts a distinctive curved backplate, elevating the aesthetics of any door it adorns. With its unique 'edgeless' design, Sweet seamlessly blends into any home decor, be it contemporary, traditional, country-style, or urban cool.

The Sweet DDA Door Handle ensures easy installation with its 211mm fixing centres, making it compatible with most UK doors. Furthermore, customers have the freedom to choose from five colour options, including gold, silver, black, satin nickel, and white, allowing them to personalise their door hardware to suit their style.

What sets the Sweet DDA Door Handle apart is its exceptional build quality. While many handles undergo testing for the standard 100,000 cycles, Sweet exceeded expectations by continuing to operate flawlessly even after an astounding 360,000 cycles. This unparalleled endurance ensures that Sweet will reliably serve homeowners for years to come.

"We are proud to offer a product that not only elevates the aesthetics and performance of any door but also ensures that everyone, regardless of their abilities, can effortlessly interact with their environment." said Nick Dutton, CEO of Brisant Secure.

Select, a long-time fabricator in Liniar, switched to Supa™ from Mila’s ProLinea door handle and letterplate last year and now supplies stainless steel hardware as standard on all its doors, complete with a 25-year guarantee on both mechanical operation and finish.

For Select’s customers, there are significant benefits in terms of being able to promote the long-term durability of the hardware, the fact that it is more sustainable than the zinc alternative, and the vastly reduced risk of remedials.

Mila’s Supa™ range is available in either SS304 extreme for mainstream use or SS316 marine grade material for coastal and high pollution areas. The entire range has been independently performance tested for corrosion resistance to BSEN1670 Grade 5 and has sailed through more than 1000 hours in a salt spray test.

Nigel Court, Select’s Operations Director, commented: “When Mila offered us its Supa™ range at minimal additional cost, we saw a great opportunity to significantly upgrade our standard offering and give our customers a real USP in an increasingly competitive marketplace. We now offer everything from the standard Supa™ door handles and TS008 letterplates to the Supa™ pull bars and escutcheons and SupaSecure™ and

“In characteristic Mila style, the marketing team have gone the extra mile and helped us produce a bespoke brochure for the new products, which makes it easy for our team to explain the benefits of all the different stainlesssteel options and win new business.”

Select chose Mila as its hardware supplier more than 5 years ago and since then, the two businesses have developed a strong partnership.

Nigel Court added: “We rely on Mila to help us identify products which will benefit our business –whether that’s by speeding up fabrication or generating new sales opportunities. The Supa™ range is a great example of that, alongside easy to fit and easy to sell products like the Yale friction stay and the new Mila Heritage window and door hardware.”

“The Mila products are a great fit with our Liniar profiles too. The Heritage range complements Liniar’s Resurgence Flush sash really well and, as one of the first fabricators to take on the innovative new system, we are already talking to

Mila about designing and testing cost-effective new hardware solutions to work with Liniar’s Zero90 Passivhaus certified PVC-U window system.

“We get excellent service from the whole Mila team. As well as our sales manager Karen Paskin, there are onsite technicians available to give expert advice to our retail customers on hardware adjustment and lots of logistical and testing support on commercial contracts.

“For instance, Mila supplies Select with the Ukrainianmade Axor range of concealed gearing tilt and turn hardware and they have ensured continuity of supply for all our largescale commercial projects. Mila even provided us with bespoke tilt and turn display boards for the factory floor with all the relevant part numbers to give our fabrication team a quick and easy reference point for fitting the gearing. It all adds to the value we get from the partnership.” More details on Select Windows at: https://www. selectwindows.co.uk/ and on the Mila Supa range at: https://www.mila.co.uk/ the-stainless-steel-edit/
