Quality Engineering is Priority for Owlett-Architectural

Owlett-Architectural, the UK's newest distributor of architectural ironmongery, has revealed its full range of new products designed to offer customers a wider choice of quality ironmongery at competitive prices. Each customer can expect next-day delivery across the UK with quality marks and superior engineering integral to the range.

The highlight of the Owlett-Architectural products is the range of stainless steel lever handles, pull handles, escutcheons and signage. Fashioned with grade 304 stainless steel, these all benefit from advanced engineering. The lever handles are a case in point with four-point fixings providing a far more robust and sturdy installation than other products already on the market. In addition, the popular stainless steel items have also been replicated in high-quality aluminium along with a dedicated contract aluminium range.

These showcase products are backed up by locks, hinges and door closers of a similarly high build quality. These products are tested to EN 12209 where applicable and carry the full CE mark and Certifire approval.

The full range of lock cases is available in all UK sizes and offers both British Standard and non-British Standard configurations, along with a UK size contract range, a full Din standard lock range and a range of architectural latches to complete any specification. A comprehensive masterkeying capability is one of the features of the new range of six-pin cylinders.

A range of grade 13 hinges successfully tested to EN 1935 with an all-important CE mark and Certifire approval are available in both polished and satin finishes and a selection of 3" x 2" hinges complement the range to provide products where fire testing is not a requirement.

Door closers are available in fixed power size 3 and optional 2-4 by spring adjustment and by template fixing, making them suitable for a variety of different applications. Each door closer can be fitted with a variety of different covers and with several different finishes.

Graham Sims, commercial manager at Owlett-Architectural, said: "We've spent several months designing and testing our products to ensure we have a comprehensive product range suitable for all kinds of commercial specifications. As the new kids on the block, we need to stamp our mark on the industry - that's why we've insisted on superior build quality to ensure our products are of the highest calibre.

"As part of Owlett-Jaton, the UK's largest provider of fasteners, fixings and hardware, we can already boast stock levels and a distribution infrastructure that rival our competitors. That's why we can offer competitive prices. But it's important for customers to be aware that we also have the facility to bring in products from many other leading brands to complete almost any specification. From hotel locking to panic hardware, in almost any particular make and model - we can incorporate that into an order with minimum hassle."
