Frequently Asked Questions
What are the latest door hardware trends?
The latest trends focus on a blend of industrial aesthetics and high-performance materials. At Endurance Aluminium, we are seeing a significant move towards knurled textures for an eye-catching industrial look, as seen in our Knurled Rose and Window handle ranges. Additionally, sleek Architectural and Contemporary finishes in Matte Black, Satin Brass, and 316 Marine Grade Stainless Steel are increasingly popular for modern homes. Homeowners are also opting for Smart technology, such as the TouchKey keyless entry system, which combines traditional hardware with digital convenience.
What is the best door hardware?
The best hardware is that which achieves a balance of durability, style, and high security. Endurance Aluminium recommends hardware manufactured from 316 Marine Grade Stainless Steel, particularly for coastal environments, due to its incredible resistance to corrosion. Our premium ranges like VBH, ERA, Anvil, and Coastal have all been thoroughly tested to meet PAS 24-approved security standards. For maximum peace of mind, the best hardware should always be paired with a high-specification cylinder like the ABS Master, which is resistant to drilling, picking, and bumping.
How do I know what lock mechanism to buy for my door?
Choosing the right mechanism depends on your door type and security needs. For standard residential doors, a multipoint locking system like the Guardian5 or QuadHook+ is ideal as they engage multiple bolts into the frame. If you have a heritage-style home, an AV4 Heritage lock provides modern security with the cylinder in a traditional higher position. For those wanting convenience, a Slam Lock ensures the door is secured as soon as it is closed. We recommend consulting an approved Endurance Installer to ensure the mechanism is compatible with your specific door profile.
Can you replace a window handle?
Yes. Endurance Aluminium hardware is designed for both new installations and professional replacements. Our range of Architectural, Standard, and Knurled window handles can be fitted to replace worn or outdated handles on aluminium windows. Replacing a handle is an effective way to refresh the aesthetic of your room or upgrade to a handle with ergonomic flush deadlocking and heavy-duty spring latches for improved operation and security.
Are uPVC window handles universal?
While many modern window handles follow standard “Espag” fixings (usually with 43mm screw centres), they are not strictly universal. Variations in spindle length, backplate design, and step height can affect compatibility. At Endurance Aluminium, our hardware is specifically engineered to complement our premium aluminium profiles. If you are looking to replace handles, it is essential to match the spindle length and fixing points to ensure the internal gearbox and locking mechanism operate correctly.
Where should sash lifts be placed?
Sash lifts should be fitted to the bottom rail of the lower sash. They are designed to provide a secure and easy grip for the user to pull the window upwards when opening. For larger or heavier aluminium sash windows, it is common practice to install two sash lifts, positioned symmetrically towards the outer edges of the rail, to ensure the weight is balanced and the window slides smoothly without tilting.
