Innovative SecuriFold and CentreFold folding handles from VBH’s greenteQ Clearline range
are growing in popularity among aluminium and PVC-U fabricators due to their unique
design. Both products fold down vertically when not in use– a neat feature that is proving
appealing for aspirational-style home improvements.
SecuriFold has been developed with bi-fold and slide and fold doors in mind. When stacking
these types of doors in the open position, sashes don’t fold back neatly due to the
projection of the door handle. In contrast, SecuriFold folds snugly against the backplate.
Alu-tec, part of the Climatec Group, has recently increased its orders of SecuriFold handles
due to the growing demand. Jenna Harrington at Alu-tec says: “SecuriFold is one of the
many innovative products that we use from VBH when fabricating our aluminium bi-folds
and we know we can rely on their technical and customer service support.”
The CentreFold handle stands off the face of the profile by only 15mm, and is designed to
work with a Clearspan intermediate door lock on both AluK and Smarts aluminium bi-fold
door systems. The handle is part of VBH’s PAS24 spec, and is used by Leeds based Nordic
Aluminium on their Clearspan security bi-folds. Nordic regularly supply these bi-folds for
new build contracts as they are fully Document Q compliant.
Both handles are covered by greenteQ’s standard 10-year guarantee, and come under
VBH’s Q-secure approved scheme, the most comprehensive security guarantee on the
market. To find out more, visit www.qsecure.co.uk and follow @vbhgreenteQ.
