DOORS & SECURITY HARDWARE Swinging conversion The Compact Swing Operator is a new automatic door opening system by Ingersoll Rand Security Technologies.Designed primarily for the retrofit market, the Compact Swing provides a quick, easy and cost effective method of converting manual doors to an automatic opening. The system is an independent,surface mounted operator which provides a quick and simple retrofit solution for existing timber, metal or glazed doorways or for new build applications. An automatic door can make a significant contribution towards energy saving which makes it a popular choice for lobbies and entrances as well as for corridor doors and retail environments. It also helps satisfy the requirements of the DDA and Doc M of the building regulations. The operator is manufactured in highgrade extruded aluminium with a lowprofile design.With an overall height of just 11cm and depth of 12cm, it is aesthetically designed to fit most existing profiles and can be adapted on site to suit a variety of door and frame widths. Because the components are mounted on a first fix backplate,lateral adjustments of the drive mechanisms achieve perfect alignment of the operator with the opening. The operator features numerous control functions including: manual operation, adjustable opening and closing speed, delayed action, and push-and-go (where the opening cycle is initiated by gently pushing or pulling the door). Two versions are available either using a slide track mounted on the door for fixing on the ‘pull’ side or with projecting arms for fixing to the ‘push’ side. Ingersoll Rand offers a full design, installation and commissioning service backed by a national network of installation and service engineers, all trained to BS7036 standards. ❐ Tel 01926 707400 www.ingersollrand.co.uk Sales of the ABS Snap Secure cylinder were double the previous record month in January and February’s sales were 50% ahead of average sales in 2010.The ABS Snap Secure cylinder is claimed by Avocet to be the most secure on the market, being the only cylinder to date to achieve the new Sold Secure Diamond Standard. ABS Secure managing director Steve Stewart says:“The ABS Snap Secure cylinder has been successful because it’s an easy-fit security solution which provides homeowners with additional peace of mind that their property is safe from forced entry.” The cylinder is so secure because of its design.While the external half of the cylinder is sacrificed when under attack, the internal half will always remain secure with the cam retained in the locked position. According to Avocet it doesn’t need additional security measures such as security handles or cylinder guards. Stewart says: “The Sold Secure Diamond Standard replicates real life methods of attack, including snapping – a growing method of attack used by burglars. Fear of crime is high amongst consumers so being able to offer a real security solution is a big sales opportunity.We’ve had a tremendous response from our customers, and we expect it to continue.” ❐ Tel: 01484 711700 www.avocet-hardware.co.uk 24 The Fabricator 2011
It’s afact. 88% of ‘A’-rated energy efficient windows have PVC-U frames. More precisely, that’s 327 PVC-U window systems from atotal of 372 ‘A’-rated by the BFRC*. Perhaps not surprising, when you consider the natural insulating properties of PVC-U, its long-life durability and minimal maintenance requirement. PVC-U windows are rated Aand A+ for domestic and commercial installations inthe BRE Green Guide to Specification Sophisticated multi-chamber profiles maximise thermal efficiency and minimise usage of raw materials PVC-U windows are given aminimum 35-year life cycle by the Building Research Establishment PVC-U -the No.1 choice PVC-U is virtually maintenance free, requiring just occasional washing to maintain its appearance To find out why PVC-U is the material of choice for windows, visit www.pvcaware.org *BFRC website figures at June 2009 The British Plastics Federation, 6Bath Place, Rivington Street, London EC2A 3JE t 0207457 5000 e pvcaware@bpf.co.uk
