Total Hardware has announced three of its most popular products have achieved Secured by Design Status.

Greg Morris, sales and marketing co-ordinator at Total Hardware, said: “Secured by Design is a valuable accreditation, offering additional benefits to specifiers and homeowners alike.”

The products now available with Secured by Design status are: the Duration Friction Stays, including the Standard, Egress and Easy Clean variants; the Flush Sash and High Security Quad Locks; and the Quantum MK3 Cranked and Inline Window Handles.

“The Secured by Design accreditation gives fabricators peace of mind, knowing that the hardware has passed rigorous testing,” Greg said. “These products will take their place alongside the other products in our range with this valuable accreditation.”

All the accredited products come with 10-year mechanical guarantees and the Quantum MK3 Cranked and Inline Window Handles also come with a 10-year surface guarantee.
