Steve Williams, Kenrick’s sales and marketing director, said: “Opportunist burglary is becoming increasingly common with figures from the Office for National Statistics showing that 64% of burglaries in England and Wales happened while residents were at home. People need to be vigilant and guard against this invasive crime, so we want to prompt everyone to think about how vulnerable they are to sneak-in thefts and to take measures to secure their homes properly. “It’s so easy to leave doors and windows unlocked while you sit out in the garden in the sun, but this gives a burglar the perfect opportunity to sneak into your home and steal your valuables without you even knowing about it. Perhaps even more sinister is home invasion burglary, where a burglar physically forces their way into someone’s home as they open their front door. “Falling victim to this type of crime is very upsetting, especially when so many of us have been affected one way or another by coronavirus. It is, however, easy and cost-effective for homeowners to protect themselves from these types of crime with the proper security products.” Designed to combat against opportunist burglary and home invasion burglary, Kenrick’s Excalibur Fast Lock is a high security door lock that provides fast, secure locking on the front door – the route into the house for more than 75% of burglaries. The Excalibur Fast Lock operates in the same way as a standard lever/lever lock. Its main difference is when closing the door; the user simply lifts the lever as they enter through the door and it is then securely locked from both sides without having to use a key. To unlock the door, the user turns the key and pushes the handle down. www.kenricks.co.uk £2,000 SECURITY GUARANTEE FROM ENDURANCE Endurance Doors says it boasts ‘arguably the most secure composite door’, thanks to a number of product innovations – and now the security guarantee from its own-branded ABS dimpled key 3-Star cylinder has been increased to £2,000. This ‘unrivalled’ 3-Star cylinder, developed in partnership with ABS, is a standard offering with all Endurance Doors, and it carries the Sold Secure Diamond mark and is Kitemarked. With the door slab itself having survived a heavy sledgehammer test, courtesy of Hunter from ‘90s TV series Gladiators, a feat which has been widely shared on social media, Endurance Doors says its security proposition is now ‘stronger and more robust than ever before’. Each Endurance Door is supplied with five dimple keys as standard and additional keys can be cut at hundreds of outlets across the UK. The cylinders are also manufactured outside of China, on ‘cutting-edge’, automated production lines, and they have endured an extended cycle test to ensure they have a life expectancy well in excess of ten years, while the precision engineered key has been designed to last a lifetime. endurancedoors.co.uk GET AHEAD OF THE CURVE WITH ALUTECH SYSTEMS ‘Aluminium doesn’t have to be so square’ according to Alutech Systems, who says its latest product launch is set to be a big hit with ‘trend-setting homeowners wanting something a bit different for their property to stand out from the rest of the street’. The Yorkshire-based systems house has just introduced a new curved edge aluminium profile as a premium option to its BF73 systems for bi-folding doors, French doors and single doors. The rounded edge of the external facing sash gives the illusion of even slimmer sightlines, which, says Alutech, are already slimmer than 68% of the market. Available in all the same colours as the standard BF73 profile, Alutech says the new curved sash gives fabricators and installers the opportunity to increase their margin per door leaf. The BF73 system has been designed to be quick and easy to fabricate and install. The system offers a unique adjustable jamb feature for maximum adjustability during the installation stage. The optional adjustable jamb offers easier installs with 4mm tolerance. www.alutechsystems.co.uk 38 T I JULY/AUGUST <strong>2021</strong> PRACTICAL CONTENT FOR THE GLAZING INSTALLER & HOME IMPROVEMENT SPECIALIST
