Kestrel Aluminium Systems and ASSA ABLOY are celebrating a long and fruitful relationship that has seen the two brands collaborate on ASSA ABLOY’s new Concealed Vertical Rod (CVR) exit hardware range.
The new range offers universal application on all Kestrel Aluminium Systems’ Commercial Door and Frame products and has been tested to PAS 24 on its single and double Thermal Commercial Door sets.
In the development stages of the new CVR hardware range, Kestrel Aluminium Systems was one of the main system houses that aided ASSA ABLOY. By providing its decades of knowledge on the industry, Kestrel was able to help create a range that was missing from the market.
The ASSA ABLOY Touch Bar Panic Unit offers an aesthetically pleasing solution and provides additional safety benefits thanks to its low projection from the door face. This makes it ideal for areas such as sports halls, gymnasiums, hospitals, and schools with high traffic and risk of abuse, as well as front of house, where elegance is key.
The Push Bar Panic Unit is ideal for all door types, including fully glazed doors without a mid-rail. It can be cut to size, as can the Touch Bar Panic Unit. The two-point shootbolt locks into the threshold and the transom is withdrawn by pressing down on the push bar. The Push Pad Emergency Unit offers a more discrete solution for areas where users are familiar with the space and evacuation procedures with the same shootbolt lock mechanism.
The new Outside Access Device (OAD) and Security Escutcheon are elegantly designed to complement and enhance any Kestrel Aluminium Systems’ door set escape routes.
Crispin Jedrzejewski, Head of Technical & Design, Kestrel Aluminium Systems comments: “We have a long history with ASSA ABLOY, going back nearly 30 years. Our collaboration on the new CVR Exit range is the latest example of the great work we do together. This is a relationship that we value hugely because of the way it enables both brands to feed off each other’s expertise to create better products for our customers.”
