Commercial

Low rise curtain walling can be integrated with other products from our ranges to create the option for openers, giving architects the opportunity to create stunning enveloping vertical glass walls. It is one of the best performing fully thermally broken commercial systems in the UK.

Hardware Options

Essential hardware choices for safety, access and performance.

Concealed Panic Bar

Concealed Panic Bars

A concealed panic bar enables fast and safe emergency exit. This life-safety device incorporates a latch or concealed vertical rods to secure the doors while allowing instant release when the bar is pushed.

Other Options: Range of sizes for single or double doors.

Can be used in conjunction with an entry trim for external access. This will cost extra.

Entry Trims

Entry Trims

Entry trims allow controlled external access to doors fitted with panic hardware. The trim overrides the panic bar mechanism to allow entry from outside.

Material: Stainless steel trim with zinc alloy lever.
Finishes: Dark bronze, black or silver.
Options: Three lever styles with optional cylinder override.

Electrical versions are available in 12V or 24V DC, in fail-safe or fail-secure duty.

Electric Strike

Electric Strikes

Electric strikes are access-control devices allowing doors to be released remotely. They are typically used where internal staff allow visitors entry from inside a building.

Options: Fail-safe or fail-secure configurations.

Doors fitted with electric strikes must open either in or out — not both. Only the strike plate is supplied, not the electrical control system.

Pad Handles

Standard Pad Handles

Pad handles are a durable push-pull style handle commonly supplied on commercial aluminium entrance doors.

Colour Options: White, silver anodised, or colour matched to the door.

A practical and reliable standard handle option.

Solid D Handles

Solid D Handles

Stainless steel pull handles designed for heavy-duty commercial applications. These provide a stronger architectural look compared with standard pad handles.

Finishes: Satin or polished stainless steel, or powder coated black, blue, grey or white.

Available in multiple handle styles and sizes.

Paddle Handles

Paddle Handles

Paddle handles provide an alternative to lever handles and are commonly used on commercial doors where a push-pull operation is preferred.

Escutcheon: Zinc alloy, black finish.
Colours: Satin anodised, dark bronze or black.

Supplied as an upgrade option over standard pad handles.

Mechanical Code Locks

Mechanical Code Locks

Mechanical code locks provide secure access without the need for electrical systems. They are often specified as an alternative to electronic keypads or magnetic locks.

Finish: Stainless steel.
Option: Code-free version available.

Can be installed as an external entry trim for controlled access.
