HARDWARE&SECURITY Getting a Hold on Pull Handles UAP Limited has entered the growing pull handle market with its offering of corrosion resistant stainless steel pull handles. To launch the new line, UAP is releasing a range of satin stainless steel straight length pull handles. These incorporate UAP’s Nanocoast® technology and so come with a free lifetime guarantee against surface corrosion. UAP consulted with several door manufacturers during the design process to ensure the handles met the desired specifications of the majority, and didn’t have any downfalls that may be present on pull handles currently on the market. The result of this research is a range of high quality pull handles that are produced from 1.5mm grade 304 stainless steel, have a 38mm diameter for a sturdier construction and an easier grip for people with limited hand movements, and three different fitting options. UAP’s MD David Jennings said: “We decided to enter the pull handle market as we felt that we could add some real value to it. We have received nothing but positive comments from our customers; the feedback we are getting is that the handle is well designed, has a ‘High quality’ robust feel and are a good quality product.” For more information contact the UAP sales team on Sales@ uapcorporate.com.
