Hinged PVCu Entrance Doors

Handles: There can be two different styles of handle fitted to your doors:
Style 1: The handles are similar on both sides of the door.
Style 2: A normal handle is fitted to the inside with a rounded “pad” handle on the outside only. It is important you identify the handle style on your doors.

Style 1 Operation: The door can be opened from either side by unlocking and depressing the handle.
To Open: Unlock, depress handle and open door.
To Close: Push or pull door closed to engage latch. Lift handle upwards as far as possible to engage hooks between door and frame.
To Lock: Turn key and check security by attempting to push handle down.

Style 2 Operation: When unlocked, the door can be opened from the inside with the handle or with a key from outside.
To Open: From inside – unlock, depress handle and open door.
From Outside: Unlock and depress pad handle downwards to disengage hooks. To open door, turn key once more to release latch.
To Close: From either side, push or pull door closed to engage latch only. Lift either handle upwards as far as possible to engage hooks between door and frame.
To Lock: Turn key and check security by attempting to push the handle down.

Note: Optimum weather and draught proofing will be achieved by ensuring hooks are engaged.

French Doors

French doors include a Master door which always opens first. The remaining door – the Slave – is operated independently but can only be opened when the Master door is open.

To Open: Unlock, depress lever handle and open Master door. To release Slave door, unlock, depress lever handle and open.
To Close: Push or pull the Slave door to and lift handle as far as possible to engage shoot bolts. This is imperative otherwise, when closed, the security of both doors would be compromised. Push or pull Master door closed. Lift handle upwards as far as possible to engage hooks between door and frame.

To Lock: Turn key and check security by attempting to depress both Master and Slave handles downwards.

Check: For maximum security and peace of mind, it is suggested that all catches and shoot bolts are engaged and key locked.

In Line Sliding Patio Doors

Handles: Keyholes and handles are fitted to both sides of the door. A small lever engages catches between door and frame.
To Open: Unlock and operate the small lever to release catches. Slide open.
To Close: Reverse opening procedures.

We had an orangery fitted in timber alternative windows and doors to match our Period property. Very happy indeed.

Great experience getting our one window in to match existing, that was installed with you almost 20 years ago. The Window looks great and is great quality. Thank you.

Excellent service from start to finish. Have already recommended to friend. Hannah, I wanted to say a special thank you to you. The care you took when you came to quote won the work before I had even seen the figure. All the touches you thought of have worked well.

The work was carried out extremely professionally and with great attention to detail. Both fitters are a credit to your company, and we enjoyed having them working in our home.
