Doc Q and Lifetime Homes standard
22nd November 2016

Eurocell has introduced an in-line PVC-U patio door system that, when specified to PAS24 standards, automatically meets Approved Document Q of the Building Regulations. The Eurocell Euroslide system has been developed specially to meet the challenges of the amended Part Q; and it is believed to be the first patio door to conform this stringent security standard as well as Lifetime Homes Standard specifications, where applicable.

Euroslide incorporates a fully-fabricated aluminium interlock with a three-point locking mechanism that has three pairs of 304-grade stainless steel interlock protectors and is operated by a small ergonomically-designed lever located just 900mm above the floor.

The height of the lever enables it to be used easily by everyone including wheelchair users, which means that the door meets the guidelines set out in Lifetime Homes and also the trend towards ‘multi-generational’ dwellings. This system can be installed with Eurocell’s low threshold to comply with Part M access requirements.
