Integrated performance doorsets.
More than a door.
The next logical step in performance doorset development. The integrated performance doorset solution has been created so that all the components of the doorset (door leaf, frame and performance critical architectural ironmongery) are fit for purpose, work together as a unified product and meet certified performance levels. Because all the components are assembled in a quality controlled factory environment, as opposed to being supplied separately, performance is guaranteed and achieves significantly improved on-site quality along with time savings. We achieved a similar leap in performance some years ago when we progressed from supplying door leafs to supplying performance doorsets comprising of door leaf, frame and hinges. Our product offering places strong emphasis on stringent testing and third party certification wherever possible. We can provide the most comprehensive data available anywhere in the market.

The performance characteristics of a doorset are dependent on all of the component parts working together. Only by testing the complete assembly is it possible to ascertain its true fire, smoke, acoustic or mechanical performance.
All Leaderflush Shapland Laidlaw integrated performance doorsets are fully certified to recognised performance standards, while all our fire resisting products are manufactured under the BWF Certifire and BM TRADA independent product conformity schemes.

We also ensure all items of performance critical architectural ironmongery adhere to our certification requirements. This avoids the inadvertent use of non-standard components, which could undermine and diminish the fire, security or acoustic performance of the doorset installation. This is of greater concern when doors and architectural ironmongery are procured from separate sources.

Why specify a fully integrated doorset?
An end result which is greater than the sum of its parts.
Compliance
Superior efficiency
Superior durability
Our doorsets are fully compliant with relevant Building Regulations, Technical Standards and Department of Health recommendations.
The use of factory prepared and installed architectural ironmongery ensures the door and its hardware are working at their most efficient. It is proven that the majority of maintenance issues are caused by incorrectly or inaccurately installed ironmongery.
Superior durability and life cycles are ensured, while site preparation is eliminated as much as possible, increasing the accuracy of fitting, particularly of critical architectural ironmongery items such as hinges, lock cases and concealed door closers. This reduces stresses placed on the door, frame and operating hardware.
Improved quality Attention to detail is an important aspect of a complete, integrated performance doorset. The factory preparation and, in the case of nonprojecting hardware, fitting of the architectural ironmongery produces the quality of finish which simply cannot be achieved on-site.

Single source supplier The resources and experience of Leaderflush Shapland Laidlaw ensures trouble free scheduling and delivery of our integrated solutions from a single source.
Cost savings Savings in site management costs, which are usually required to oversee the coordination of multi-supplier provision, are achieved.
Time saving Enhanced aesthetics We prepare our doorsets for architectural ironmongery in our factory and supply all items that make up the doorset, to ensure a greatly enhanced appearance.
Reduced work on site improves site co-ordination and reduces the risk of snagging and remedial work, making it more cost effective.
Guarantee The integrated performance doorset is subject to a 10 year guarantee, assuming normal wear and tear. Conditions and usage must be in accordance with our recommendations. CE marking Leaderflush Shapland Laidlaw has created the integrated doorset with a view to moving towards the requirements of CE marking. This will enable us to CE mark products once the product standard for internal fire doorsets has been ratified.

A doorset is far more than a door and frame. The advantages of factory preparation cannot be overstressed. Whether for aesthetic reasons, to reduce the amount of on-site work during installation or to optimise the accuracy and efficiency of the working doorset, preparing the door and frame for glazing and ironmongery in the factory pays dividends. This is particularly so with items such as pivot sets, concealed door closers, lockcases and hinges where sections of timber need to be removed from the door and/or frame.
• Door performance options consist of heavy-severe duty, fire, smoke, acoustic, security and anti-radiation functions • Doorset configurations - available in all common configurations • Door frame - available in a selection of frame types, sizes and materials

In the case of lift-off hinges, door leaf and frame are factory machined and the hinge leaves are pre-fitted to the door and frame. Fixed pin hinges are factory fitted to the door leaf.
• Door seals - according to performance requirements • Drop seals - for acoustic, smoke control or pressurisation purposes • Architraves where required, depending on frame type • Vision panels including options for style, glass type and beads.

Not only is the site preparation of doors and frames for the ironmongery impractical and time consuming, the end results are more often than not inaccurate and incapable of withstanding the rigours of use.
Achieving optimum performance. Aside from abuse or misuse, the most common cause of door failure is poorly fitted architectural ironmongery. Misaligned hinges for example can seriously reduce the efficiency of the door which in turn will affect the operation of any door closing device and the ability of the door to latch correctly. Factory preparation for standard ironmongery items ensures optimum performance is achieved, not only of the ironmongery items but the complete door assembly. For fire door constructions, it ensures the minimum amount of timber is removed from the door which guarantees fire/acoustic performance.

Anti-ligature ironmongery Avoiding ligature points, the fitting of specifically designed anti-ligature ironmongery calls for fine tolerances to be maintained. Such accuracy can only be achieved with factory preparation of the door leaf and frame.

To facilitate the production of fully integrated doorsets, we have selected the most appropriate performance hardware components for inclusion within the integrated package. The components have been fully tested and selected on the basis of: • Compliance with the most up to date performance requirements, being CE marked where appropriate • Offering the highest levels of standards compliance
• Simplifying and speeding up the installation process • Maximising the benefits of factory preparation and in some cases factory fitting of components • Suitability for the widest range of doorset sizes, configurations and applications.

Combining performance critical and surface mounted operating architectural ironmongery creates visual compatibility, enhanced aesthetics and offers the highest levels of standards compliance. Performance levels are guaranteed and the installation process is both simplified and speeded up by maximising the benefits of factory preparation and, in some cases, factory fitting of components.
By incorporating all of the performance critical architectural ironmongery as a fully engineered unit, the performance is guaranteed. Following manufacture, mortising Leaderflush Shapland Laidlaw ironmongery is included at no additional cost. This factory preparation and, in the case of non-projecting hardware, fitting of the ironmongery produces the quality of finish which simply cannot be achieved on-site.
Where a specific aesthetic concept for a building is required we can mortice for all architectural ironmongery hardware against free issue samples should an alternative ironmongery range be selected.
The value of choice - Leaderflush Shapland Laidlaw acknowledges the value architects and designers place on the ability to select the architectural ironmongery that complements the aesthetic concept of their buildings. The final selection of the non-performance critical surface mounted architectural ironmongery is therefore not limited to a handful of designs but can be selected from any of our ranges.
