HARDWARE&SECURITY
Pulling power of new handle
range proving to be a hit
Hardware distributer VBH is reporting great successes with
the greenteQ stainless steel pull handle series.
»»The range was
developed by VBH head office
in Germany, where doors are
commonly fitted with key
operated (wind-up) locks and pull
handles have long been used in
place of a lever handle set.
VBH (GB) invested in stock
in January this year and can now
deliver most of the nine basic
designs from their main Kent
warehouse. All greenteQ Pull
Handles are manufactured from
hard wearing 1.4301 austenitic
stainless steel (grade 304-A2),
which provides good resistance to
weather- and pollution-associated
corrosion. There are options of
90° or 45° projection, and with
standard or extended legs.
VBH advise that, depending on
the design selected, the handles
are available from 300mm–
1800mm high and can be used
either singularly or in pairs on
many door materials including
composite, PVCu, timber,
aluminium and glass.
More door manufacturers than
ever are offering their customers
more choice in terms of door
style and operation in a bid to
differentiate their products from
the norm, thus achieving a higher
value sale. This in turn leads
to further options of locking
system and furniture. Where pull
handles were once the preserve
of commercial doors they are
now being specified on many
domestic installations in the UK
and Ireland.
‘top quality,
competitively
priced products’
VBH Area Sales Manager Jan
Zammit states ‘It’s important for
anyone involved in sales to be
provided with a steady stream of
top quality, competitively priced
products that are available from
stock. We’re extremely lucky at
VBH (GB) that not only do we
have our own greenteQ products
that have been developed
specifically for the UK and Irish
markets, but there is also a huge
range of products developed by
our colleagues in Germany that
we can bring into our market.
The stainless steel pulls are a
prime example of this and are
proving a huge success with my
customers.’
The greenteQ Pull Handle
series features in the latest
