HARDWARE& SECURITY HARDWARE WARRANTIES EXTENDED Endurance® Doors has extended the warranties on its range of solid and secure composite doors with all handles, letterplates, knockers and spy holes covered by a comprehensive 10 year warranty for all finishes. »»THE HARDWARE industry has in the past been plagued with pitting handles and in longevity in general, so this move by Endurance® Doors and its hardware supplier, Fab & Fix, is a major confidence boost for installers and consumers. The full length handles from UAP are also backed with a 10 year warranty, along with the Kerto LVL door slab, the proven CoolSkin® door skin and the Rehau white and foiled frames. Long warranties are a fundamental part of the Endurance Doors offering, and since 2002, the company has been developing its solid timber core based offering to offer a greater life expectancy. Recent developments include tape foiling to the glazing apertures and the innovative RocFoam technology to the base of the slab, which have been introduced to extend the life span of their doors far beyond others in the sector. Stephen Nadin, Managing Director of Endurance® Doors commented, “Our solid timber core doors are designed to last longer than other composite doors.” www.endurancedoors.co.uk TOTALLY-TAILORED ENTRANCE COMPOSITE DOORS »»ONLINE WINDOWS & Doors, based in the West Midlands, has switched to Entrance®, AMK Hardware’s new composite door brand. Online Windows & Doors has been an AMK Hardware customer for more than five years, and has always been impressed with its service and quality. So when they heard about Entrance, it seemed a logical step to take. Entrance supplies everything except the frame; all the components needed to make a door so fabricators can sell matching composite doors and windows using their own profile. The package is totally tailored, so its composite door is unique to the business. Adrian Bhella, Managing Director of Online Windows and Doors, sees the advantage. “We’ve worked with AMK Hardware for a long time, and always used their hardware, so it was a natural progression to buy from Entrance. It’s more convenient to buy the slab and hardware from one supplier. And we know from experience that AMK Hardware offers great customer service. Making the change from our previous supplier was simple and cost effective. It means we can offer customers our own label doors, using the same profile we offer for windows.” www.entranceway.co.uk 98 » M AY 2016 » CL EARVI E W- UK . C O M
