SUPASECURE HANDLE ACHIEVES SOLD SECURE 'SILVER'<br />
Mila’s popular SupaSecure TS007 two star door handle has just become the highest rated security handle in the UK,<br />
scoring an unprecedented ‘Silver’ grading from Sold Secure.<br />
Mila reports that the stainless steel SupaSecure is the first and only handle to have been awarded the coveted Silver<br />
grading alongside its PAS24 and SBD accreditation, and giving its customers ‘absolute reassurance’ that they are fitting and<br />
promoting the most secure option available – in combination with either a 1-star or a 3-star cylinder.<br />
Previously, the highest grading achieved by a two star handle in the Sold Secure attack test administered by the Master<br />
Locksmiths Association (MLA) was Bronze, but the inherent strength and design innovation in the SupaSecure have enabled<br />
it to go one better. The handle is available now in a choice of polished or brushed stainless and polished or brushed PVD gold<br />
finishes. www.mila.co.uk/supasecure-door-handles/<br />
ENDURANCE LAUNCHES 'NEXT GEN' LOCKING SYSTEM<br />
Endurance Doors has developed a new PAS 24 certified, multipoint locking system for use<br />
across its range.<br />
The Guardian5 ‘next generation’ system has been designed to offer multiple benefits – including<br />
exceptional levels of security, impressive reliability and a ‘fitter-friendly’ design that makes fitting<br />
doors easier for Endurance’s installer partners.<br />
Offering greater tolerances when throwing the deadbolts as well as superior frame compression,<br />
this latter feature provides the homeowner with a better experience when opening and closing the<br />
door, and also allows installers more movement and flexibility during the fitting process.<br />
The Guardian5 employs five strategically located, nickel-plated twin deadbolts with a 20mm throw<br />
that fully inserts into heavy-duty, high-grade steel keeps. www.endurancedoors.co.uk<br />
HURST LAUNCHES AUGMENTED REALITY SALES TOOL<br />
Hurst Doors has launched a new augmented reality sales tool, which allows homeowners to superimpose a<br />
selection of Hurst’s composite door styles against their property using their mobile phone or tablet.<br />

360º 3D rendered image which they can then superimpose against their property on the screen of their device.<br />
Hayley Barker, Head of Marketing at Hurst Doors, said: “We want our customers to have all the tools they need to<br />
support them in providing their customers with the ultimate retail experience and guidance when choosing the perfect<br />
