Abloy UK creates bespoke locking solution for Secure Information Boxes

Abloy UK has supplied the Safety Letterbox Company Ltd with a bespoke Sentry CL811 Camlock for use in its Secure Information Boxes, assisting life safety and complying with new regulations and legislation for high rise buildings.

The Safety Letterbox Company Ltd is a British manufacturer, designing, manufacturing and supplying mailboxes and parcel boxes from its UK factory in South Wales for over 38 years.

The company needed a bespoke locking solution for its Secure Information Box solution to meet a number of strict requirements.

Following the tragic Grenfell Tower disaster, the Fire Industry Association (FIA) and the National Fire Chiefs Council (NFCC) took decisive action by introducing The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, came into effect in January 2023.

These regulations state that existing high-rise residential buildings over 18 metres, as well as new builds over 11 metres or 7 storeys, must appoint a responsible person.

This person is responsible for maintaining hard copies of the building’s floor plans, a single-page orientation plan, and the name and contact details of the responsible person.

All this essential information must be stored in a Secure Information Box (formerly known as the Premises Information Box), which should remain easily accessible for firefighters during emergencies.

These details are essential for fire responders during emergencies, and by offering quick access to this information, the Secure Information Box enhances safety and efficiency in critical situations.

The Safety Letterbox Company Ltd’s Secure Information Box meets these requirements and is suitable for either internal or external location.

It not only complies with the law but also adheres to the highest security standards such as BS EN 1303, the European standard on cylinders for locks used for security and protection to keep belonging and dwelling places safe.

It is also tested and certified to Secured by Design standards STS205 BR2.

Jon Parry, Commercial Manager at The Safety Letter Box Company Ltd, said:

“Since the introduction of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, there has been a huge appetite for our Secure Information Box.
“We worked collaboratively with Abloy UK and valued them as a trusted advisor to create a unique and bespoke Sentry CL811 Camlock for use within the solution.
“We are proud to currently be the only the British manufacturer producing this product in the UK.
“Our in-house research and development team has plans to evolve the range further in partnership with Abloy UK, and they are currently developing innovative new products that we are excited to launch in the future.”

Shaun Powell, General Sales Manager - OEM at Abloy UK, added:

“At Abloy UK, we are committed to providing high-quality locking solutions that meet the strict safety and security standards required for critical applications.
“Working with The Safety Letterbox Company Ltd on the development of the bespoke Sentry CL811 Camlock for their Secure Information Boxes has been an exciting collaboration.
“We are proud to support their efforts in enhancing fire safety in high-rise buildings by offering products that comply with the latest regulations and ensure easy access for emergency responders when it's needed most.”

DHF issues warning following school accident

Tamworth-based Door & Hardware Federation (DHF) has urged caution regarding reducing gaps at hinges, following an accident at a school in Surrey involving a five-year-old boy.

During a resulting UK Health and Safety Executive investigation into the incident, it was revealed that the boy’s hand slipped and went into the reducing hinge gap of a doorset in the school; there was no guard installed and the incident led to the tip of his middle finger becoming detached. In a newer building at the school, hinge guards had been fitted on the doorsets.

The trust was prosecuted under Section 3(1) of the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, duty of care to persons other than employees and in October this year, was fined £6,000 and ordered to pay an additional £6,875.70 in costs.

“The subsequent investigation discovered the trust had failed to identify the hazard which meant hinge guards were not installed on the doors in the older building,” explains DHF’s Senior Training & Compliance Officer, Nick Perkins.

“This particular case serves as a timely reminder that all significant hazards must be identified and risk assessed, and where necessary, protected or eliminated, even on manual doors and gates. Clearly, the risk based on degree of harm, likelihood of occurrence and frequency of exposure means that reducing hinge gaps are high risk in premises with considerable numbers of vulnerable people present.

“Whilst for powered doors, gates & barriers there is a very clear requirement in supply of machinery safety law to eliminate or protect all reachable reducing gaps, there is also a need to risk assess all doors, gate and barrier installations (including manual systems) under health and safety law, especially those fitted with spring loaded self-closing devices.”

Ultimate responsibility for safety within and about a premises lies with the owner or manager, but it is important to note that maintenance providers also have a legal obligation to identify and inform their clients about the safety of doors, gates and barriers they are repairing or maintaining; where possible, they are required to leave the system (hand it back to the client) in a safe condition.

Information regarding the supply of machinery safety law comprises UK:

Supply of Machinery Safety Regulations 2008, and Republic of Ireland: European Communities (Machinery) Regulations 2008; National health and safety law comprises UK: Health & Safety at Work Act 1974, Northern Ireland: Health & Safety at Work Order 1978, and Republic of Ireland: Safety, health and welfare at Work Act 2005; Workplace Safety Law comprises UK: Workplace (Health, Safety & Welfare) Regulations 1992 , Northern Ireland: Workplace (Health, Safety & Welfare) Regulations (NI) 1993, and Republic of Ireland: Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (General Application) Regulations 2007.

“DHF also delivers training for Automated Gate Group, Industrial Door Group and Garage Door Group members on the topic of reducing gaps; in addition, further information can be found in DHF publication, TS 013: https://bit.ly/DHFTechnicalSpecifications,” concludes Nick.

DHF represents all the key players in the following sectors: locks and building hardware, doorsets, industrial doors and shutters, domestic garage doors and automated gates.

With the ultimate aim of maintaining and raising quality standards throughout the industry, all DHF members must meet minimum standards of competence and customer service. They all operate within a Code of Conduct governing standards of workmanship, quality assurance, training, safety, business integrity and CE marking compliance.

Marlon Clickfix and Jewers Doors Brighten Farnborough Airport’s new Domus III Hangar

Brett Martin’s Marlon Clickfix polycarbonate panel glazing system has provided a key architectural feature for Farnborough Airport’s new state-of-the-art hangar – Domus III.

Incorporated as part of the hangar’s extensive door system, the Clickfix panels allow daylight to flood the hangar and reduce the need for artificial lighting in the highly sustainable facility.

Farnborough Airport is widely considered the home of British aviation, as the location of the first powered flight on UK soil in 1908.

In summer 2022, Farnborough Airport embarked on a bold £55m investment programme to significantly enhance its facilities and infrastructure to improve customer experience.

This programme included the development of a striking 175,000 sq. ft, four-bay hangar facility, which would increase the Airport’s overall hangar capacity by over 70%.

With some of the most ambitious environmental targets in the sector and a commitment to identifying and minimising the effects of aviation on the environment, Farnborough Airport was keen to set a new benchmark in terms of aviation design with the hangar and ensure sustainability was at its heart.

As such, aviation specialist architectural practice Gebler Tooth designed the facility – known as Domus III - to incorporate the latest state-of-the-art technology and drive environmental performance.

This included the use of translucent automated doors along the entire length of the building, to optimise the level of natural light inside.

Alongside an intelligent artificial lighting system that dims when the daylight is sufficient, this would ensure that the facility is highly energy efficient.

The doors would also ease aircraft manoeuvrability and help to mitigate unnecessary emissions from aircraft handling.

Jewers Doors was awarded the contract to supply and install the doors by main contractor McLaughlin & Harvey.

Jewers Doors specified its Esavian Type 126 power operated steel frames, powder coated RAL 9007 with Brett Martin’s Marlon Clickfix VF90 clear glass polycarbonate cladding panels to create the doors.

Each door measures approximately 7.3m wide by 10.6m high and has four equal-width leaves that run on four independent tracks.

Marcus Allen, Director of Jewers Doors Ltd commented:

“Marlon Clickfix was ideal for this installation as it provided the required natural light penetration, evenly distributed and devoid of solar glare.
“Efficiency was also an important factor in its specification; but with a U value of 0.99 W/m2K, Marlon Clickfix ticked all the boxes for this project and integrated well with our door frames.”

Marlon Clickfix is manufactured from premium multiwall polycarbonate.

The 40mm interlocking modular panels have low thermal conductivity, resulting in their low U value and providing highly efficient wall construction.

With two framing system options, façades of up to 12m in height can be created with a seamless finish and continuous corners.

Along with the clear panels installed at Farnborough Airport, Marlon Clickfix also comes in a pearlescent finish, with special colours and colour matching available upon request.

The hangar also features a 280m-long symphonic rainwater harvesting system, eco-friendly heating systems and a fully integrated building control and energy monitoring system to further minimise energy consumption.

It will be rated by BREEAM, the world’s leading sustainability assessment method for infrastructure and buildings and is set to achieve some of the highest environmental standards.

Simon Geere, CEO at Farnborough Airport, commented:

“Domus III represents a monumental leap forward in aviation hangar technology, setting new standards in the industry with a state-of-the-art facility that not only cements Farnborough Airport’s position as London and the South East’s premier hub for air connectivity but also reflects our commitment to drive environmental performance across every part of our business.”

McLaren 750S named Top Gear Performance Car of the Year

The McLaren 750S has won Top Gear Magazine’s Performance Car of the Year at the annual Top Gear Awards, with McLaren being presented with the trophy at the awards event held in London last week.

The award is presented to the winner of Top Gear Magazine’s annual Speed Week event, which gathers the year’s best performance cars, as rated by the publication, for a week-long test on road and track.

The 750S was tested on the Navarra circuit in northern Spain before heading to the picturesque and challenging roads in the Pamplona region, along with other Speed Week finalists.

The 750S was crowned Speed Week winner after impressing the Top Gear judges, who were vocal in their praise of the 750S’ abilities on road and track, particularly its huge performance, scintillating driver feedback and connection, engaging character and strong quality.

These achievements informed the reasoning behind the 750S taking victory expressed by Top

Gear’s writers:

“Very few cars engage your senses like the 750S – not because of any vices, but simply because the forces coming at you are so alien. It is outrageously fast and agile, it communicates so clearly and it's so willing to adjust its line and angle of attack according to driver inputs. There's shock and awe but also fingertip subtlety.”

Top Gear Magazine, December 2024

“Thank you to Top Gear for naming the McLaren 750S its Performance Car of the Year. This award is recognition of its incredible performance and class-leading supercar credentials. The verdict is also testament to McLaren's determination to consistently push boundaries and beat our own exceptional benchmarks in driver exhilaration and desirability.”

Michael Leiters, Chief Executive Officer, McLaren Automotive

New Fab Aluminium hails Jack Aluminium Systems’ JD47 as commercial door system of choice for latest project

Aluminium systems manufacturer, Jack Aluminium Systems, has supplied its JD47 Commercial Door System for a recent replacement project, in partnership with New Fab Aluminium.

Located in the Victorian Quarter shopping centre, in the heart of Leeds city centre, Wirral-based supplier, New Fab Aluminium, was tasked with replacing the two main entrance doors with a more modern automatic sliding door that harmoniously aligns with the exterior of the English heritage building.

Looking for a high-quality commercial door system that would be able to withstand high traffic, deliver on needs for superior security and offer versatility in design, New Fab Aluminium’s Managing Director, Michael Cleary, selected Jack Aluminium Systems’ JD47 as the solution.

Michael discusses the unique values of the JD47 system, saying:

“The JD47 system offers a straightforward, fuss-free fabrication and installation. Plus, with the variety in design, we were able to supply the doors in a bronze anodised colour – helping us blend the new doors with the existing aesthetics of the surrounding building. It is the all-round functionality of the JD47 system that aided in our ability to complete the installation in just seven days, helping reduce disruption within what is a very high footfall area.”

“Aside from the product, the support we had from the entire team was second to none. As soon as I spoke to Ash about the project, he couldn’t have been more helpful, and the customer service team were a fantastic support throughout the entire process,” adds Michael.

Ash Pearson, Jack Aluminium Systems’ Sales Manager, reflects on working with the New Fab Aluminium team, saying:

“It’s fantastic to see our JD47 system in the Victorian Quarter, and we were more than happy to be a part of helping the New Fab Aluminium team get this over the line so quickly.

“Our JD47 system continues to be one of our most popular ranges at Jack Aluminium Systems, and it’s no surprise. We have designed the system with the fabricator in mind, so ease of fabrication is a given with JD47.”
