Sliding and folding door hardware manufacturer – P C Henderson –
has launched its new Twinbolt locking system for use with its leading exterior
door hardware system, Securefold.
Twinbolt is a sophisticated locking system for exterior folding
doors whereby one simple turn of a handle engages a 22mm throw to securely lock
the doors at the top and bottom of the system.
Designed as a stylish and more concealed alternative to flush
bolts, which require manual locking in two separate areas, the product is set
to be a popular addition to the range.
New features include the system being able to work with any euro
cylinder lock meaning installers have the freedom and flexibility to use their
preferred choice of lock – as well as an increased throw of 22mm, providing
added security. This feature also provides installers with greater
flexibility in regards to the gap between the door and the frame, an important
factor due to timber doors often expanding and contracting after installation.
A range of accessories are available to add to the refinement of
the product including a stylish Malta Handle Kit and routing rubber cover
strips available in a variety of colours. Finer details such as the inclusion
of a factory set handle height (1050mm) and easy adjustment of the top lock rod
- to suit standard and non-standard doors heights - demonstrates the high
standard of design and manufacturing from P C Henderson.
Andrew Royle, Sales and Marketing Director at P C Henderson,
commented, “Although the previous version of Twinbolt worked extremely well,
customer feedback told us that it required increased flexibility. The new
system will accept any euro cylinder lock which makes the system a lot more
future proof for any future lock or handle changes. The system as a whole is
the perfect add on for our Securefold system, it’s discreet, stylish,
convenient, requires effortless operation and we’re confident it will be received
well by the market”.
Developed as a direct result of customer feedback, the system is
available in five kit variants suitable for top hung, bottom rolling, mortice
and non-mortice Securefold systems as well as P C Henderson’s heavier weight
capacity system, Securefold 150.
Securefold is a an exterior folding door hardware system which is
available for top hung wooden doors weighing up to 50kg, 100kg or 150kg as well
as bottom rolling doors weighing up to 80kg. A high security version of the
product - Securefold Ultra – is also available which Twinbolt can be used with.
