And yet, they are fixed to entrances and fitting rooms, powder coated to colour match their frames - hidden in plain sight. We sell thousands of units every year and have only had a handful of returns over 30 years – and most of those have been as a consequence of vandalism. It’s such a reliable product that in most cases, you can fix and forget it, says Strand Hardware’s Sales Director, Craig Fox: “The FP 200 is one of our most popular products and is renowned for its quality and durability. That’s why we are happy to offer our warranty because we are so confident in its credentials. This also falls in line with architects’ requirements for 10 to 20-year guarantees for hardware and building fittings.” Buyers are urged to beware of cheap imitations. In recent years, the hardware market has been flooded with cheap alternatives. Many do not meet British or European standards and some are made with poor quality fixings which can break or splinter post-installation, which become a hazard in themselves. At best, these ‘impersonators’ fail to offer the flexibility of Strand’s market leader with few options for bespoke requirements. When it comes to finger protection it is important to stress that one size doesn’t fit all and that paying for quality can also provide value for money and hassle-free convenience. Over a lifetime, that’s got to be worth the investment.
