Windows Trade Plus knows security is a big issue. That is why we commit to using high quality security components in all our products.
Windows Trade Plus has spent many years working closely with national UK hardware suppliers to achieve a finish that gave the quality and consistency across the hardware range. The attention to the finer details such as colour, style and finish is vital for creating a unified aesthetic.
The sleek design creates a smooth and simple appearance, with the letterbox, house numbers, door handle and knocker adding a contemporary appeal to the door.
The process from start to finish takes over 24hrs per item. Windows Trade Plus understands there is a lot of effort for the manufacture of hardware but the end result is well worth it.
Choice of colours
The suited Sweet is a truly unique collection, as all the accessories are perfectly matching and it, therefore, rethinks traditional door furniture; making it one of a kind on the market. Sweet's simplicity creates long-lasting beauty and is available in four colours: gold, chrome, black and white.

Windows Trade Plus many years ago instructed an official survey on how many times a door would be opened and closed compared to windows. We were surprised with the results that came back over a 12-month period on average a door is opened and closed 24.2 times more than a window. This result meant that testing and retesting was considered for the choice of hardware used. Windows Trade Plus selected a range for the supply of hardware for our composite door.
For the budget composite doors Windows Trade Plus opted to use the Yale Lockmaster lock. The Lockmaster is a multi-point lock that has been designed, developed, and tested in the UK to deliver the highest levels of performance, so installers can offer security and peace of mind to homeowners.
With Secured by Design accreditation, the Lockmaster features a combination of hooks and anti-lift bolts for greater security, with the combination of 2 hooks and 2 bolts with a 44mm face and is full length. It is combined with the Yale KM Cylinder.
The Hardware used is the sweet range of handles, letterboxes, knockers, and numerals, for s stylish suited range in various colour options to suit all doors.
The Era Challenger hinges will be installed to the budget composite door. Designed specifically for composite doors, and are adjustable lateral, height and compression. Designed to meet the requirements of PAS 24:2016 as part of a compliant door system, and BS 6375. Self-lubricating brushes. Suitable for inward and outward opening doors.

Door Handles
The door handle is from the Balmoral range, and is a classic design. It is manufactured from solid die cast zinc with a heavy duty integrated spring cassette combining this with the spring within the lock, you get the position spring back you would expect from a quality manufactured door. The handle design itself is a sculpted ergonomic lever with a low friction nylon bush, making it easy to grip with a smooth clean action. The screw that is visible on the inside of the door are colour coordinated again bringing the sense of quality throughout. The handles have been corrosion tested to meet the requirements of BS EN 1670:2007 grade 5 (480 hours), with an endurance test of 200,000, as with the hinges in normal use this will last over 91 years.
The letterplate defines the quality of the door. Almost all online suppliers use a low grade letterplate. Windows Trade Plus has broken the mould and decided that quality and styling is more important. Staying with the Fab & Fix range, the letterbox offers a 300mm letterplate with a 250mm opening, meaning an A4 letter will easily fit, fully spring with an Anti-snap function to allow the letterplate to open to 180° with a fully weather sealed design and acoustic insulation taken into account. Not only this the letterplate will be perfectly colour matched to your handle and is to a secured by design standard for additional peace of mind. The letterplate has been corrosion tested to BS EN 1670:2007 Grade 5 (480 hours). The flap has been tested to 30,000 cycles, meaning if you receive post twice a day everyday it would last over 41 years, and conforms to BS EN 13724:2002, and has been tested as a part of a complete door set that successfully achieved PAS24.
The Ultion cylinder is one of the most secure on the market -so much so in fact that no test has beaten it. The cylinder has passed all major British standards test for security without the need for cylinder protectors or extra secure door handles. These tests include the highest TS007 standard (3 star) and the extended Sold Secure Diamond test, which is more rigorous and designed by the Master Locksmith Association. These barrels come complete with 3 keys.

Thumb Turn Barrels
Thumb turn barrels are a variation of the standard barrels but have an internal section that does not require a key to be used. These are perfect for porches for east of use. Thumb turn barrels are also required to be used for HMO properties under the fire regulation section.
Restrictors
Door restrictors are not fitted to composite doors for open in or open out.
Thresholds and drips
We are fixated with offering the best possible looking door.Even though it is only 15mm high, and Part M compliant, the wheelchair threshold can still be seen from outside. That's why Windows Trade Plus wheelchair thresholds will always match the external colour you chose for the door frame. This isn't something you need to select, you just get it as standard.
In the same way that if you order a colour door the aluminium door drip is weather tight . The door drip does a really important job, but with so many beautiful aspects options, which is available is wider than the current disabled threshold at 115mm and provides greater flexibility when it comes to installation.
The MDS25 also has improved weather performance due to a compression rebate seal (tested on numerous occasions to 150Pa air and water) and superior thermal efficiency because of an improved thermal break.
