Available now, the new hardware collection caters for both traditional and contemporary applications and includes a variety of colours, styles and functionality types to choose from. Andrew Royle, Sales and Marketing Director at P C Henderson commented: “We’ve sold flush pulls and lock sets for a number of years now but the range was very focused. As the popularity of sliding door hardware in the home has grown, so has the requirement for increased variety. People naturally want their door hardware to complement the surrounding décor”. The new range includes an innovative door edge pull, perfect for pocket doors, soft closing doors and heavier doors which need a little more leverage. Style options include oval, rectangular, circular or square and finishes includes satin, chrome and a new contemporary matt black finish. A new indicator lock has also been introduced which is ideal for sliding pocket door systems used in bathrooms and en-suites. “As well as homes, our sliding door hardware goes into a wide range of applications including hotels, restaurants, schools, hospitals and office spaces – all which have different requirements for additional hardware. Our new collection ensures there’s an option for virtually any application”, continued Andrew. P C Henderson has a vast selection of sliding and folding door hardware to choose from, catering for doors weighing between 8kg and 8000kg.

In many cases, doors that are part of the emergency exit route could also be used as entrances into a building, but the hardware requirements are different for such uses. The new ARRONE lever-operated, outside access devices AR885L and AR886L are designed to overcome these issues and make use of existing doors to improve the access into the building. The new lever handles have been added to complement the existing ARRONE AR880 range of panic and emergency exit hardware. Both handles have been tested to EN179 for emergency exit devices and BS EN 1125 panic exit devices. In addition to standard testing, the handles have been tested in excess of 33,000 cycles and torque tested to a force of one kilonewton to ensure they can withstand typical levels of real-life usage experienced in commercial buildings. Jonathan Walker, ARRONE product manager, said: “Previously, the ARRONE range only offered the access device with knob-turn functionality but we developed the lever handle alternative after many requests from customers. We can now offer specifiers a handle that is compliant with BS 8300 and improves access in and out of a building for all building users, without compromising on security or safety.” Both AR800 handles are suitable for use on both single and double timber doors, including fire doors, up to 54mm thick. The AR885L is supplied with a 40mm lock cylinder, whereas the AR886L allows building owners to install a cylinder of their choice.
