Working in Joint Venture with one of the country’s leading doorset supplier we provided all ironmongery as part of an integral offer. Due to the high end specification of the building the ironmongery supplied was mainly sourced from the UK and using high grade 316 stainless steel thought out the scheme along with a number of bespoke handles as designed by the architect. Bespoke signage was also provided to a number of doors in order to match with the clients branding elsewhere within the building.

Due to the high usage and security requirement of such a building from the outset, there was a need for quality products to be provided throughout in order to meet such demands. In response to such requirements, we decided to use Swiss fabricated locksets and door furniture with supporting test evidence or in excess of over 1 million cycles! Enabling us to provide the client with a warranty of 25 years. This together with our technical knowledge and support throughout ensured the building was delivered on time, fully conformed and certified, meeting all the requirements of a high profile public building.

A New retail and leisure facility located in Stockport which will comprise a ten screen cinema, and retail space required us to provide a robust and cost effect ironmongery package to all front of house and back of house doors. Due to the public use of the buildings all ironmongery had to fully conform with the Equality Act of 2010, fully confirm with the Fire Certification of the doorsets as well as being robust enough to stand up to the heavy usage of a public building.

The refurbishment of this grade 2 listed building meant much of the ironmongery had to be in line and match the existing patterns, some of which had been in-situ for over 100 years. Working closely with a Midlands based manufacturer who still had the original patterns and designs, we were able to provide the client with exact replacements to those that were installed originally as well as the ability to refurbish and refinish some existing products we were unable to supply. We also provided a full supply and installation of power assisted operators to a number of doors in order for the building to meet equality act requirements.
We've seen our business develop into a core provider of Architectural Ironmongery solutions to the UK construction industry.
The 13 years of continued growth has seen our team develop to 22 full time and 4 sub contract installers with our Head office and main warehousing are located in Liverpool City Centre, subsequent office and warehousing in St Asaph North Wales and satellite offices servicing the South West and Wales along with The Greater Manchester region.
Our strategy to provide a more integrated offering has seen the development of strong relationships with the UK’s leading door sets providers. This enables both expertise to develop a robust global assessment within the fire standards of doors and ironmongery, whilst allowing both skill sets to understand every need of the project from their own core knowledge base.
From our particulars the necessity to provide an easy operational product portfolio compliant to The Equality Act (which incorporates the previous Disability Discrimination Act and BS8300) and the consciousness of long term, low maintenance client costs, and design choice, provides specifiers the ability to signature any project within budget commitments.
Continued business development and requirements of our customer base has also seen the introduction of an access control division which assists in the global assessment of determining the compatibility of electronic solutions and their fire integrity. All of which is in line with the ever increasing need for fire standards to be adhered to. Supported by our in house installation team and service department providing on going software support along with yearly maintenance plans.
Throughout this site you will find some of the successfully completed projects we have undertaken over these proceeding years. We would be grateful for the opportunity to discuss further our commitment to providing unrivalled service in ensuring longevity, easy operation, maintenance conscious product portfolios and fully compliant packages to any size of project.
