ERA has launched the new Berwick high security 2* door handle.

The handle has been independently tested and certified in accordance with TS 007-1: 2014 +A2 Corr 2 and is compatible with all euro profile cylinders.

Featuring a sculptured backplate that discourages unwanted attention from mole grips, it contains a hidden strengthening plate, which helps prevent the removal of the external handle.

Available in both 44mm and 70mm versions to accommodate a wide variety of PVC-U and composite door profiles, the handle is supplied with all fixings to support easy and efficient installation, including high strength security M6 screws.

The fully sprung solid handle provides a consistent 90-degree lever return, whilst the ergonomic lever and low friction nylon bush provide smooth operating action.

The handle is available in a wide range of finishes, including Hardex chrome, Hardex graphite and antique black. It is also supplied with colour matched screw heads.

It has also undergone independent testing to TS 007 2* and PAS 24, and when used in conjunction with the ERA 1* anti-bump cylinder, meets the recommended TS 007 3* security level. Awarded the Secured By Design Police Preferred Specification, the handle forms part of the ERA total security guaranteed hardware, offering consumers a £5,000 guarantee.

Durability tested in excess of 200,000 cycles, the Berwick meets the requirements of BS EN 1670:2007 Grade 5 and is supplied with a 10 year mechanical and surface finish guarantee to provide the highest standards of protection and peace of mind.
