as a stylish more concealed alternative to flush bolts. Henderson has launched the Twinbolt locking system for use with their leading exterior hardware system, Securefold.
The Twinbolt is a sophisticated locking system for exterior folding doors, whereby the user simply turns a handle to engage a 22mm throw to securely lock the doors at the top and bottom of the system. This means that the door will be
New standards prompt GAI guide publication
A raft of revised British Standards has prompted the publication of three new technical guides from the Guild of Architectural Ironmongers (GAI). BS 3621: 2017 specifies the performance requirements and test methods for a mechanically operated single-point lock assembly. It gives ironmongers clarification on how to conform to BS 3621 and the classification for locks in respect of other British and European standards.
BS 8613: 2017 covers Finger Protection Devices for Pedestrian Doors. It will help health and safety and risk assessment professionals to select the appropriate finger protection products to prevent entrapment.
In January 2018 BS 8300 was revised and the 2009 version was withdrawn. The 2018 version was split in to two standards, one covering the design of an accessible and inclusive built external environment and the other on the design of an accessible and inclusive built internal environment.

This feature also provides installers with greater flexibility in regards to the gap between the door and the frame, an important factor since timber doors often expand and contract in varying temperatures after installation.

A Perry & Co is launching its new CE Marked and CERTIFIRE Approved PerryShield range of fire door ironmongery. The complete protection kits has been designed at a price point that enables specifiers to fit fire approved ironmongery onto applications without having to worry about spiralling costs.
The fire-resistant door hardware and intumescent kits are designed to ensure there is no compromise to fire door integrity in an emergency, providing a fire rating of either 30, 60 or 120 minutes.
Ian Dunnaker, company director at A Perry & Co (Hinges) Ltd, explains, “Adhesion to
budgets is dominant in the fire rated product sector. Traditionally, here is where corners have been cut, as price points have dictated that ironmongery has to be affordable and meet stringent cost criteria. Yet, as we know from recent catastrophes, it’s imperative that the safety and security of products is paramount. “The price differentials between the new PerryShield range of hinges and standard ‘non-certified’ hinges are now minimal. This means customers can have the confidence that they can afford to select the products without compromising on safety and security, and risk rising costs.”
