HARDWARE& SECURITY
GIVING CUSTOMERS CHOICE
»»HWL WINDOWS GROUP HAS
opted to fit Avocet Hardware locks on all its
new composite and PVCu doors.
The Leeds-based Group, which consists of
HWL Trade Frames and Nordic Aluminium,
has a nationwide reputation for supplying
trade installers with the very highest quality
windows and doors and has begun to
exclusively install Avocet’s TS007 3-star
and SS312 Diamond accredited ATK snap
secure lock, and its popular 1-star Pioneer
cylinder.
Luke Boyes, HWL’s systems manager, said:
“It’s important to us to give our customers’
choice, and Avocet delivers exactly that. It has
a depth of cylinder options that is unrivalled
in the industry, from top of the range snapsecure locks, like ATK and ABS, through
to standard 1-star locks that so many of our
customers still demand.”
“We’re delighted to make the switch and
look forward to growing with Avocet as it
further extends its lock and home security
offering.”
Rob I’Anson, sales director of Avocet
Hardware, said: “A lot of the noise we make
in the press is about ATK, ABS and our fight
against lock-snapping, but people should
never forget that we do have the biggest
selection of cylinder locks available.”

Easy fit Tilt and Turn hardware
»»HARDWARE SPECIALIST VBH NOW
stocks Titan AF, the latest tilt and turn system
from Siegenia.
Titan AF is available in both surface fit
and ‘Axxent 24+’ concealed hinge options
and has versions to suit PVCu, timber and
aluminium windows with sash weights of up
to 150Kg.
Titan AF hardware clamps into the
Eurogroove prior to screw fixing and VBH
advises that the ‘click-on’ coupling feature
makes the hardware extremely easy to fit.
Each AF window includes a Sash Lift Roller
to ensure the sash locates into the frame
smoothly and correctly.
The concealed hinge solution features
Axxent 24+ hinge components. Axxent 24+’s
low stack height helps overcome air gap
clearance issues but does not adversely affect
the hinge’s strength.
VBH Marketing Manager Gary Gleeson
says, “Titan AF has been tried and tested in
continental Europe before Siegenia developed
‘The Axxent 24+
hinges are a brand
new development’
the tilt before turn, or TBT, version used
here in the UK. The Axxent 24+ hinges are a
brand new development. Their load bearing
capabilities and compact size, along with
the fact that no jigs are required to fit them
are sure to gain a lot of admirers amongst
fabricators, installers and specifiers.”
