HARDWARE& SECURITY
Stay Secure
AllYear Round
»»UAP is constantly coming up
with new and innovative concepts in order
to maximise security, and in order to provide
24/7 protection all year round, it is essential
to invest in durable, resilient door hardware,
which has been designed to last.
UAP already supply a diverse range of door
viewers, letterplates (including the innovative
DOORMASTER) and double Kitemark
euro cylinders, and has now added to their
collection of door hardware by introducing the
versatile Door Stay. This item of quality door
hardware does not need replacing on a regular
basis.
David Jennings, the MD of UAP explains:
“We always do whatever we can to keep things
fresh and exciting. The revolutionary Door
Stay has many attractive features and benefits
which cannot be found on any other piece of
door hardware, making it completely unique
and original.”
David concludes, “A carefully constructed
slider contains special friction screws to hold
the door open in mild wind conditions, so
that it remains stable and steady. The Door
Stay really is in a league of its own as far as
door hardware is concerned.”
He continues, “The restrictor limits door
opening to a preset position, or to a maximum
of 90 degrees, and includes an easy-to-fit
eurogroove and bracket to frame. Our Door
Stay is perfectly suitable for all major PVCu
profiles.”

The Ultimate Test
»»UAP has recently
added another fantastic product
to its already impressive collection
of door hardware. The UAP Door
Stay is versatile, easy to install and
has been designed with durability
in mind. All of these qualities
make the Door Stay an extremely
cost-effective item of quality door
hardware.
And in order to assess the
corrosion resistance of UAP’s own
Door Stay brand against one of its
closest competitors, UAP decided
to conduct a small experiment
with some fascinating results!
Mark Rushton, UAP Quality
Control Manager, explains: “The
corrosion resistance was tested using
a special salt spray cabinet, which
produces a corrosive environment
of dense saline fog, so exposed parts
were subjected to severely corrosive
conditions. The chrome door stays
were then deposited in the cabinet
78 » M AY 2015 » CL EARVI E W- UK . C O M
and were removed after 144 hours
(6 days).”
He continues: “Both door
stays were subjected to the same
exposure in the salt spray machine
over a period of 6 days.”
“The first Door Stay had a very
poor performance, with almost
severe corrosion of the chrome
coating, whereas UAP’s own
brand Door Stay performed to
an acceptable standard, and only
displayed some small areas of
mild corrosion.”
Mark concludes: “Judging by
these findings, the chrome finish
on the UAP branded Door
Stay was far superior to the
coating on the other Door Stay
sample.”
