HARDWARE & SECURITY
‘ Natural progression ’ well received by customers
|
»»
ALMOST A YEAR AFTER launching its ground breaking Part Q compliance system , leading window and door hardware specialist Coastal Group has extended it further ahead of imminent changes to the Regulation .
With increasing numbers of specifications likely to come under Part Q , Coastal is
|
currently testing a range of new products to join its compliance .
According to Coastal Group MD Loren Jenner , the wider product testing is a natural progression of its increasingly popular Part Q Compliance system .
“ The Part Q Regulations have had a major impact on the industry and we are determined
|
to enable joinery firms to continue manufacturing and supplying quality timber doors and windows in line with Part Q , hence the extension of the service with wider product groups being tested and incorporated into it ,” said Loren .
“ Our Part Q programme has gone down brilliantly with our customers and we have
|
|
been delighted with the initial response we have had from the growing numbers of firms signing up for it who are saying they are not only saving time and money , but are improving work flow as they are able to continue working across all construction requirements .”

DON ’ T LET THE WINTER WEATHER AFFECT YOUR BOTTOM LINE ANY MORE THAN IT HAS TO
»»
FOR MANY INSTALLERS , THE ONSET of winter means an increase in callouts as a result of failing hardware . Zinc and aluminium-based hardware will start to fail sooner or later because the damp weather we experience in winter speeds up the corrosion process , resulting in disappointed customers , callouts and replacements that are costly to your bottom line .
Tony Chadwick , Trojan ’ s Group Managing Director says “ Our Stainless Steel hardware solves the problem because of its corrosionresistant properties . It seems that more and more of our customers are seeing the benefits of our Stainless Steel range for themselves as sales continue to increase rapidly and costly call outs are becoming a thing of the past .”
Trojan ’ s Stainless Steel range includes door handles ( available at three price points so there is a product for every budget ), letterplates , door knockers , door numbers / letters , escutcheons , T-bar pull handle variants and a central door knob . Products are available in Polished Gold ( PVD ), Brushed Gold ( PVD ), Polished Stainless , Brushed Stainless and White or Black powder coated over stainless , offering a perfectly suited solution .
