New timber doorset guide

A guide designed to help building professionals correctly specify CE marked timber doorsets has been published by the Door & Hardware Federation (DHF).
 
Specifiers, architects, contractors, clients and other professionals can download the guide, ‘Specifying CE marked timber doorsets’, from the DHF website: www.dhfonline.org.uk
 
The DHF, the voice of the UK door and hardware industry, has produced the guide to help building professionals prepare for new CE mark legislation being introduced in July 2013. From that date it will become a criminal offence to place a construction product covered by a harmonised technical specification, such as doorset, onto the market without a CE mark.
 
The guide spells out the standards to which any CE marked timber doorset needs to be tested. It also details the benefits to the specifier in choosing CE marked timber doorsets over traditional multi-supplier sourced door assemblies.
 
The guide has been produced by the recently formed specialist DHF timber doorset group. This was set up in response to the growing preference from specifiers and contractors for complete pre-assembled doorsets, or factory-prepared doorset kits of parts, to be delivered on-site.
