Manu- factured from stainless steel for ultimate cor- rosion resistance, the Unicorn Let- terplate meets the requirements of TS008 which means it can be used on doorsets that need to comply with the require- ments of PAS24: 2016 or Document Q of Building Regulations. Tony Chadwick, group managing director, com- mented: “Trojan is re- nowned for delivering the products that the market needs and the TS008 Uni- corn Letterplate is another example of this.” The features of the TS008 Unicorn Letterplate reflect the skills and ingenuity of Trojan’s product designers. The inner protec- tive housing has a unique concealed hinge mechanism to prevent attack. The inner flap has a positive stop feature for maximum protection from ‘fishing’ while the inner flap projection is below door handle height for added protection. www.trojangroup.com SWISH SUITS ANY PROPERTY Swish installer World Group based in Carlisle has completed a large-scale renovation.
