Switch to new lock on all SBD doors
24th November 2015

North East Panels, based in Washington, Tyne & Wear, has made the switch to the new AVOCET ATK snap secure lock on all of its Secured by Design doors.

The company, which produces over 400 completed door units per week, will be fitting the new TS007 3-star rated and SS312 Diamond accredited Euro cylinder with immediate effect. In addition, Avocet’s Affinity door handle is now being fitted as standard on all its SBD doors, and its bar handles are to be used across all doors.

National Sales Manager Jimmy Wood (pictured) said: “Having made the difficult decision to switch suppliers, the job of selecting a new one was as straightforward as they come – Avocet is known for delivering the right products at the right prices and we were delighted with what they were able to offer us.”

ATK also comes with a standard key, which allows all leading locksmiths to produce them quickly and easily, and end-user registration isn’t required.

The new range also includes one of the only Sold Secure and Secured by Design rated thumbturn locks on the market. Incorporating Avocet’s new click secure system, it makes use of a positive click turn action, which means it can’t be bypassed with the wire tools that make a great deal of other thumbturns a major security risk.

Avocet Hardware Sales Director Rob I’Anson, added: “We expected a positive reaction to ATK, but to be awarded this significant piece of business from North East Panels so soon after securing the SWC Trade Frames account really is beyond even our most optimistic, pre-launch expectations.”
