Independent hardware specialist Carl F Groupco has added the new Kenrick Captive Door Hinge to its portfolio. John Crittenden, Carl F Groupco’s Managing Director, said: “We’ve partnered with Kenrick for nearly 20 years because their product portfolio delivers what our customers need. The new Captive Door Hinge is a further example of an intelligently designed Kenrick product that is already proving popular with customers.”
The Secured by Design-accredited Kenrick Captive Door Hinge can achieve the requirements of PAS 24 without additional security devices, such as dog bolts. John commented: “The hinge speeds up installation times giving our customers greater scope to improve their efficiencies.”
The fast-to-fit Captive Door Hinge can carry an impressive weight, with loads up to 120kg when four hinges are fitted and an 80kg with three hinges, making it suitable for the most demanding of projects.
The hinge is available in standard or slim variations depending on profile stack heights and can be used with profile related packers for sculptured sashes. It is available in nine colours so offers a solution for every style of door and décor.
It is manufactured with a zinc die cast body with stainless steel pin and the quality of the hinge is evident in its accreditations. It is endurance tested to 100,000 cycles and has achieved a minimum of 240 hours salt spray testing for painted finishes and 480 hours for lorica finishes. It comes with a 10 year mechanical guarantee.
The Kenrick Captive Door Hinge joins Carl F Groupco’s extensive portfolio of Kenrick products, reflecting the strength of the partnership. John said: “We work hard to build strong relationships with our suppliers and keep our finger on the pulse so we can remain a proactive distribution partner to our customers.”
Combined with an uncompromising commitment to customer service, Carl F Groupco is seeing strong sales growth as more and more customers see the difference a reliable and proactive hardware supplier can make.
