NEW CATALOGUE LAUNCH FOR CARL F GROUCO

with Yale’s Lockmaster door locks and several of its largest-selling window lock ranges, including
the Rapide and Yale Shootbolt systems. Soon to follow from Yale’s range of smart hardware are its

Turn window hardware. www.yalehome.co.uk/sync-smart-home-window-and-door-sensors
COMPLYING WITH DOC L
With the new building regulations coming into force in June this year, Endurance Doors has confirmed
that its engineered timber door platform complies with the new legislation, assuring continued strong
growth through its Installer Partner network.
The engineered timber door leaf is a carbon sink, sourced from renewable forests within Europe and that the
slab and frame are recyclable at the end of their useful life.
Stephen Nadin (pictured), Managing Director of Endurance Doors, commented: “The new changes to Approved
Document L building regulations do not affect Endurance Doors as we are categorised as a timber door manufacturer. Yet at the same time we have a product
development programme in place that is designed to meet the needs of any future legislation and further reduce our impact on the environment, thanks to
our strong partnership with Metsa Wood and Rehau, among other business partners.” www.endurancedoors.co.uk/
A 'DISTINCT' NEW BROCHURE FOLLOWING REBRAND
UK composite door supplier Distinction Doors has launched a brand-new product brochure.
It is the first marketing tool to be released following the company’s rebrand, announced recently. Echoing the
ethos of the new brand identity, the brochure acknowledges how the business has solidified its position as a
premium composite door supplier.
Bethaney Larkman, marketing manager for Distinction Doors, explained: “It’s a brave new design that’s very
different from our familiar product directory brochure. The content is radically different, and we have focussed
on our USPs to target strongly against the competition.
“Factors such as design and packaging are vital elements in the buying psychology of premium products so
it’s essential that we arm our fabrication customers and their customers with the right tools.”
