Celebrating First Anniversary
as exclusive UK Distributor
»»With a reputation as a pioneer
in the field of precision engineered door
and window hardware, Schüring has
enjoyed global success over the last 55 years.
And thanks to the exclusive distributor
arrangement with VITA, this success has been
replicated in the UK during the first year of
the partnership.
Stewart Lamb, Managing Director of VITA
Hardware Ltd, comments, “We’re celebrating
the first anniversary of VITA’s exclusive UK
rights to the distribution of the Schüring range
of German hardware and are delighted with

the brand penetration into the UK PVCu
fabricator market so far. With a comprehensive
range of UK focused products, the current
offering includes premium door hinges,
locks and accessories and specialist hardware
for tilt and turn, side hung and sliding
windows. The Schüring multi-point lock has
been particularly well received thanks to its
premium security features.
“With more than three decades of
global experience in hardware design and
manufacture, including in the UK for 15
years, we never forget that VITA’s own roots

lie in the door and window handle market.
This legacy dovetails perfectly with Schüring’s
innovation, durability and ethos of in-house
development, manufacture and distribution.”

Corrosion problem solved
»»Hull-based Vulcan
Windows has upgraded its
composite and PVCu door ranges
with high quality stainless steel
hardware from leading supplier
for the trade, Total Hardware. The
move reflects Vulcan’s commitment
to provide customers with the
best possible products, as well as
its strategy to eliminate callouts
due to hardware finish issues.
Vulcan Windows has been
manufacturing and installing
windows and doors since 1973,
and is now offering a wide range of

aluminium and PVCu products to
the trade on a nationwide basis.
Working in geographical
proximity to the coast, the
Company’s installation division
used to encounter regular
problems involving corrosion
of their door hardware.Vulcan
operations manager, Paul Walker,
commented, “We are obsessed
with quality and needed a
hardware solution that would
reflect our high standards. We
turned to our supplier, Total
Hardware, who recommended

a range of door furniture
manufactured in 304 stainless steel
from Trojan, which offers ultimate
corrosion resistance and comes
with a 25 year guarantee on all
finishes.”
“Switching to stainless steel was
definitely the right decision for us
as it makes more economical sense
to invest in high quality products
than to deal with service calls due
to hardware finish problems.”
