Safety is a key consideration of architectural design and construction. From foundations to finishing touches, ensuring the safety and security of occupants is non-negotiable. That’s why Strand Hardware's commitment to excellence extends beyond aesthetics and functionality, placing a strong emphasis on safety across its entire range of architectural hardware solutions.
At the core of Strand Hardware's ethos is an understanding of the pivotal role that safety plays in the built environment. Whether it’s failsafe solutions for emergency exit and panic hardware or preventing injuries from fingers being crushed by closing doors, safety considerations are woven into the fabric of every product.
This commitment provides architects, specifiers and building owners/managers, with the peace of mind that comes from knowing that Strand’s quality hardware solutions also meet the highest standards of reliability and security.
In the context of doors and windows, safety takes on added significance. These openings serve as crucial points of ingress and egress which require hardware solutions that not only facilitate ease of use but also provide safety and security. Strand Hardware's range of door and window hardware is engineered with these considerations in mind, offering a combination of strength, durability, and functionality to ensure the safety of building occupants.
One of the key elements in ensuring door safety is the selection of appropriate mechanisms for door opening and closing. From door limiting stays to door selectors, Strand’s hardware takes into account a variation of door types, their location and intended use – providing durable solutions without compromise.
Similarly, window safety cannot be overstated. Windows provide natural light and ventilation but must be easy and safe to access while maintaining building security. Strand’s Duoflex range facilitate smooth operation while ensuring that windows can be securely locked when needed. These can be fitted to individual windows or linked with bars and optional centre rings for pole operation at high level or hard-to-reach windows to enable natural ventilation.
Beyond individual hardware components, the integration of safety features into the overall architectural design is essential. Strand Hardware collaborates closely with architects, and specifiers to ensure that its hardware solutions seamlessly integrate with the broader safety and security building measures. This holistic approach ensures that safety considerations are addressed at every stage of the design and construction process - from initial concept to final installation.
Moreover, Strand Hardware's commitment to safety extends to ongoing product testing and certification. Its products undergo rigorous testing to ensure compliance with industry standards and regulations, providing further assurance of their reliability and performance.
Safety is a cornerstone of creating a built environment, so whether it’s a new development or a property refurbishment, Strand Hardware is a perfect partner – helping you set the standard for safety excellence.

In times of emergency, you’re in safe hands with Strand Hardware. Although there are many considerations for building specification, few decisions can be as critical as selecting the right emergency exit/panic hardware.
Efficiency and reliability must be a given and while the market offers a plethora of options, ensuring 'safety first' will be the guiding principle for architects and specifiers.
CE marking is a must - best practice determines that products comply with Construction Product Regulations and Strand Hardware’s Antipanic Emergency Exit and Panic range has been rigorously tested and successfully meets these exacting requirements.
Strand’s Antipanic range includes a range of push bars and touch bars suitable for single or double outward opening doors.
For day-to-day use, doors can be opened from the outside with an outside access device. These can be locked or opened from the outside, while still being able to be freely released from inside – maintaining security without compromising the basic panic function.
In identifying suitable solutions, there are a number of key considerations that will ultimately define your shopping list:
Strand Hardware offers PH (modular push bar/push pad range), PHT (touch bar range), PHTM (motorised touch bar range) options. Selection criteria is provided by the EN standards EN1125 and EN179 and should reflect occupancy levels and the type of building. Other matters to be considered include creating clear opening requirements, how the door is intended to be used, whether it is fire resisting, the operating environment etc. Aesthetics and budget will also have a place, but these are secondary to the life safety aspect.
Different strikes are used to suit various door materials and construction. For PVCU doors and frames, a range of profile related strikes are available for which the system manufacturer and profile model is needed. Glass doors require patch fittings to suit the escape device and door construction. Whether the doors are fire-resisting and how the door is hung will also have a bearing.
Single and three-point pullman latches are available across all the ranges with the ability to convert on site from three point to two-point system. Factors to be considered include whether the door is single or double, construction, material, size and for double doors if the meeting stiles are straight edge or rebated.
External access can be provided by a mechanical outside access device, using a key, push button digital combination and in most cases either a lever handle or knob. Again, thought needs to be given to how the door is to be used. Most electronic access control systems can be accommodated by use of an internal motorised touch bar device.
Door widths and heights should be checked before ordering as many wider and taller doors can be catered for from stock by use of wider crossbars, wider model touch bars and extra-long rod kits.
Powder coated white and black finishes are available from stock along with the standard silver grey, which have the option of a green cross bar. A decorative plated satin stainless-steel finish and simulated polished brass are available for many ranges. Where a high degree of corrosion resistance is necessary the DFine grade 316 stainless steel is available. Many other finishes can be provided to special order.

The first signs of spring may just be emerging but when it comes to planning major development and refurbishment projects, it’s essential to look ahead. For schools and other educational establishments, project planning for the summer - avoiding busy term times and scheduling work to minimise disruption – is key.
Safety measures are essential for all public buildings but particularly those used by young people and vulnerable adults. From nurseries, primary and secondary schools, through to colleges and universities – buildings used for learning have specific needs . They are inevitably bustling environs with constant movement, as students go from class to class. It’s important therefore, to minimises the chances of accidents occurring including accidental injuries from fingers trapped in doors.
“Schools, colleges and universities are busy environments and often their estate can include a number of buildings on one site. These can be of different ages and include entrances, corridors, classrooms and lecture theatres, with doors of many types,” said Craig Fox, Sales Director for Strand Hardware.
“Local authorities, academies, college and university estate managers endeavour to create safe and inviting learning environments. These ae constantly reviewed and refurbished to maintain and upgrade facilities. This is a significant undertaking and it’s essential that all elements are fully considered, including the finishing touches to ensure safety.”
Finger protection can often be left off the list, he explains:
“Unfortunately, this essential requirement can often be overlooked until the majority of work is completed and final risk assessments are undertaken. We recommend thinking ‘safety first’ and budgeting for finger protection at the start of the project to allow the purchase of good quality products that offer durability.”
Strand Hardware’s extensive range of finger protection is suitable for all types of doors; manual and automatics, external and internal, single and double action, made from different materials; timber, aluminium, Pvc-u or glass.
All Strand Hardware finger guards are housed in easy-clean aluminium housing and tested to 1,000,000 operations and comply with industry standards.
It’s not just the hustle and bustle of school ‘traffic’ that can present danger. Younger children are naturally curious and may not always be aware of the potential dangers posed by closing doors. Crushed fingers and hands caught in rapidly closing doors can lead to painful injuries and, in severe cases, fractures or dislocations. Finger protection provides a barrier, reducing the risk of such accidents occurring and are therefore ideal for pre-school and primary environs.
Installing finger protection on doors aligns with safety standards and regulations designed to protect students in educational settings. Adhering to these standards not only helps avoid legal implications, but also demonstrates a commitment to providing a secure learning environment for all.
“Obviously with children, there's always an inherent danger,” says Craig. “It makes sense to apply a preventative approach and can also help avoid expensive litigation.”
The costs associated with treating finger injuries can be substantial. Installing finger protection on doors is a cost-effective measure that prevents these incidents, ultimately saving schools and parents from the financial burden of treating avoidable injuries.
Strand Hardware offers other product ranges that are ideal for incorporating into schools, including emergency exit and panic hardware for doors, and window controls for the safe opening of difficult to reach or high level windows which can be operated by a cranked pole.
This enables windows to be opened without staff having to stand on furniture to reach the openers.
Duoflex also provides the tools for a cost-effective, natural ventilation solution. Natural ventilation has numerous benefits in schools - positively impacting students and the wider learning environment. It improves indoor air quality by providing a continuous flow of fresh air, reducing the concentration of pollutants and ensuring a healthier atmosphere. Natural ventilation also promotes better concentration and cognitive function among students, helping regulate temperature and prevent stuffiness.
It can also contribute to energy efficiency and improve security, lowering operational costs for schools. By harnessing the power of natural airflow, schools can create comfortable, conducive learning spaces that support the overall wellbeing and academic performance of students.
By planning ahead for summer refurbs, those responsible for educational estate management can not only safeguard students from potential injury but also demonstrate a commitment to maintaining high safety standards – efforts worthy of an A+ achievement.

Selecting the right architectural ironmongery can be a challenge; from the complex and multifaceted requirements of technical specification, to achieving functionality and durability that meet the needs of users within the built environment. Here we outline considerations to steer you to the right choice.
It’s a tough ask: the complexity of selecting the right architectural ironmongery is a process of navigation. There are a range of factors: diverse and seemingly limitless products and variations, project-specific requirements, regulatory compliance, design integration, budget constraints, technological advancements, reliability, and sustainability considerations. Professionals must face these issues, understanding what’s needed to make well-informed decisions which align themselves against the wider ambitions of the project.
The sheer scope of the process can be overwhelming. It is increasingly difficult to compare ‘similar products’ only to find that they are as different as oranges and apples. Seemingly similar products can vary significantly in quality, durability and cost and therefore it’s essential to consider what’s important when preparing your ‘shopping list’.
That being said, there are some things that should never be compromised, safety and security especially – always check that your selected products have been fully tested and meet safety standards. Fit and functionality is also key – finding quality fittings may stretch your budget, especially if they are being purchased towards the end of an expensive development process, but choosing wisely can save money in the long-term and support the overall design aesthetic.
Finding a reliable partner is all important. Working with a trusted supplier is essential because asking the right questions will save you time and direct you to the right solutions. Strand Hardware places great emphasis on its in-house expertise – meaning help is always just a phone call away. Whether you have purchased directly from Strand, or via one of our carefully-selected architectural ironmongers, we will provide you with advice and guidance to make an informed purchase and technical support on installation.
When it comes to products that you can trust, you need look no further than Strand Hardware. As a manufacturer and distributor of specialist architectural ironmongery, our reputation has been built on product quality and durability, alongside outstanding customer service.
We offer a variety of different products across five key ranges: door and windows, emergency exit and panic hardware, window control systems, Glass Central and D-Fine. These incorporate a variety of product types including finger protection, window openers, glass patch fittings and panic hardware made from grade 316 stainless steel.
Although finding the right product to meet functionality, compatibility and suitability for different environs can a difficult task, Strand’s team of experts make this easy. They are on hand to assist with specification queries and if standard products don’t fit the bill, many can be produced in bespoke lengths and finishes.
Among our window and door hardware, is an extensive range of finger protection. These include best-selling FP200 – so good that it comes with a lifetime guarantee (subject to terms and conditions)! There are products to suit most doors: manual and automatic, external and internal, single and double action, including those made from different materials; timber, aluminium, Pvc-u or glass.
Also included within this parent group, is the Strand Duoflex our range of adjustable folding openers for timber, aluminium, steel and PVCu top hung, outward opening windows. Manufactured in the Midlands they carry the Made In Britain mark, and are available for recessed, flush and stepped profiles, together with a range of accessories.
We are well known for the supply of emergency exit hardware which provides escape devices that combine ease of operation, simplicity of fixing and aesthetic appearance.

All our emergency exit and panic hardware products have been rigorously tested and are UKCA and CE marked.
Strand Hardware Window control products are included within our window control systems range. These offer manual and electrically operated natural ventilation solutions which can improve air quality and address potential health and safety risks to better operated high-level or hard to reach windows.
The manual system consists of an opener, fitted to a vent which is linked via lengths of conduit and cable to a wall-mounted operator. It’s a flexible system, as the conduit can be bent around obstructions, with its operating handle positioned at an easily accessible location. There is also an electronic system for a more advanced solution.
Glass Central is Strand’s range of patch fittings for toughened glass walls and doors. This product range has a ‘clear advantage’ and can be used to divide open plan workspaces, providing much-needed privacy space, while maintaining the benefit of natural light sources lost when using other materials to create room separation. Glass Central includes locks, latches, pivots, strike boxes, floor springs, tracks and hinges.
The D-Fine range of panic exit devices is constructed out of grade 316 stainless steel. This guarantees maximum functionality and a long lifetime even under the most extreme weather and atmospheric conditions. They are regularly used on costal buildings, in leisure buildings with swimming pools or environments that suffer extreme weather conditions such as oil rigs.
The range incorporates a variety of push and touch bars – one, two and three point bolt and latch products – and outside access devices. Grade 316 stainless steel is well-established as a corrosion resistant material and all items within the D-Fine range are salt spray tested to 800 hours.

Good enough to last a lifetime…it’s not often that we hear those words but Strand Hardware is so confident with the quality of it's finger protection that the market leader – it's FP200 - comes with a lifetime guarantee (subject to terms and conditions).
Strand Hardware has been the UK distributor for Athmer finger protection for more than 30 years. It’s the original roller blind finger guard considered by many to be the best.
Why? It’s tried and tested – the jewel in the crown of finger protection which meets bespoke needs including various sizes and finishes. Strand Hardware's extended range features six products that fit most types of doors: manual and automatic, external and internal, single and double action, including those made from different materials; timber, aluminium, Pvc-u or glass.
Finger protection is an essential safety requirement across a variety of environments including public buildings, especially those used by children and vulnerable adults. From hospitality and leisure, to retail, education and health premises, there’s a duty of care to assess risk and apply safety measures to prevent needless accidents.
Definitive statistics on the number of annual finger crush incidents which occur in the UK are difficult to determine. Many go unreported but they contribute to one of the most frequent workplace injuries. It’s also been identified that between 30,000 and 50,000 finger crush incidents per year involve children.
Many require hospital treatment and some result in partial amputation of fingers or permanent nerve damage. Fitting finger guards on the hinge-side of doors prevents fingers being accidentally trapped. Health and safety experts recommend fitting finger protection and door stops to help prevent accidents.
Most of Strand Hardware's roller blind system devices incorporate a strong flame retardant fabric which extends or retracts under tension to cover the gap between the door and the frame. All of it's products have an easy-clean aluminium housing and many are tested to 1,000,000 operations and comply with EN16005, EN16654, BS8613 and the German Safety Mark. Aesthetics are important in any built environment, which is why Strand Hardware's finger protection devices provide the ideal finishing touch.
Most are available in standard finishes - Satin Anodised Aluminium (SAA), White (RAL 9016) or Dark Bronze Anodised (DBA) but other RAL colours and anodised finishes are available as a special to order item. This means that Strand Hardware's finger protection sits in complete harmony with its environment– it doesn’t have to stand out like a sore thumb to prevent one! Most of us will have been through the doors of a popular fast food chain or high street store – companies that have been using them for many years – and probably never noticed them. And yet, they are fixed to entrances and fitting rooms, powder coated to colour match their frames - hidden in plain sight.

There are a variety of manual and electrical options available for escape door hardware but as with all products, its essential to consider the end user and the environment in which devices are to be placed. The primary purpose of any door on an escape route is for it be readily openable, and the type of premises and its level of occupancy will define whether what type of panic or emergency exit hardware to use.
The Code of Practice: Hardware for Fire and Escape Doors, published by the Door Hardware Federation (DHF) and the Guild of Architectural Ironmongery (GAI) defines the two:
In most cases a mechanical panic device will be the first choice. However, it’s worth considering if the door is to be used for other access requirements and whether users might have accessibility issues. For example, in a hospital or care home, motorised touch bars could provide additional functionality and ease-of-use.
Safety and security will also be a factor. All panic and emergency exit devices provide a level of security against intrusion, but where there is a need for increased security, additional measures can be taken to enhance it without compromising the ability of people to escape during an emergency.
It is essential to liaise with local building and fire authorities to determine building occupancy and undertake risk assessment if such measures are deemed necessary. These can include audible alarms, door monitoring devices and CCTV.
Motorised devices are often used on escape doors which require external access control to restrict who enters a building such as an entrance to a school or college. They are also suitable for use on automatic doors.
Motorised touch bars also provide convenience and enable efficient building management. They can be linked to a variety of access control systems which use swipe card, digital keypad or proximity reader to allow controlled access from outside. They are ideal for large commercial or public buildings and with the addition of a microswitch they can be linked into an estate management off-site control to provide door monitoring.
It is important that any panic exit device is able to operate safely for a realistic lifetime.
BS EN 1125 and BS EN 179 outline testing standards used to verify the durability of products:
All Strand Hardware panic and emergency exit devices have achieved Grade 7 durability standards and are UKCA marked.
They are also supplied with a maintenance log book that should be passed onto the end user. This includes a table to record weekly and monthly checks which should be undertaken to ensure the device is working correctly.
When it comes to emergency and panic devices, Strand Hardware offers the best way out and we have experts on hand to make selection easier.

Want to breathe new life into a stuffy indoor space with cost-effective natural ventilation? The answer could be to keep things simple, according to Strand Hardware, which recommends two key steps to assess requirements and identify the right solution.
Step one requires a bigger picture view: its essential to consider the building’s conditions and orientation – its size, location, positioning and wider environment. This will indicate wind velocity and direction which is needed to optimise air flow and exhaust emissions from inside the premises.
Knowing how the building is to be used, its construction and internal layout (including partitions, doors and chimneys) is also vital, along with window sizing, location, fabric and an understanding of how they function.
Budget is a primary consideration but the beauty of natural ventilation is that it can be achieved without breaking the bank. Manual systems offer the ultimate cost-effective option. Unlike integrated powered systems, they require little by way of capital investment. They are also easier to use and maintain.
Step two of the assessment requires specifics: sufficient detail to identify the products and quantities needed:
Craig Fox, Sales Director for Strand Hardware, said that manual solutions offer a cost effective way of operating windows to provide natural ventilation for new build or existing buildings.
“Strand’s Duoflex range is frequently installed in workplaces, offices, hospitals and educational establishments which benefit from natural ventilation.
“Providing a system that is safe and easy-to-use is essential. Health and safety requirements should be considered so that if windows are at a height, people will not be tempted to over-reach or stand on a chair in order to access them,” he said.
Other products may be used to optimise the solution. Building orientation and its levels of sun, shade and wind direction will determine if they are needed. For example, buildings with double aspects, a large run of windows or large glazed panels, may benefit from reflective film or blinds to prevent the ‘greenhouse effect’.
While those within a densely built environments, such as town centres with tall buildings, or premises with fewer opening windows, may require electrically driven operators, fans/filters to improve air flow and quality.
In just two simple steps, you can say goodbye to stuffy air and hello to comfort and well-being. Get ready to take a deep breath and transform your space into the ultimate sanctuary of freshness and vitality.

Strand Hardware has made its mark – completing UKCA compliancy more than a year ahead of the new deadline.
It completed certifications for all its Panic Hardware product ranges – 290 products in total – at the end of last year, in preparation for the original deadline.
The original deadline was intended to be 1 January 2023 but the Government announced an extension as many companies were simply not ready.
The new requirement is compulsory for products which fall within the scope of a ‘harmonised/designated standard’ being made available for sale in the UK. They can continue to be CE marked until 30 June 2025 under a 'presumption of conformity'.
Strand Hardware Operations Director Jo Walls said that she was delighted that Strand was fully prepared and had made the transition ahead of schedule.
“We completed our requirements towards the end of last year. We are ready! and have everything in place for the new deadline and have begun to mark our products with the required UKCA markings. Our Declaration of Performance (DOPs), fitting instructions, labelling and certification have all been completed and the DoPs are available on our website for download.”

Strand Hardware defied the ‘Beast from the East’ when it went ahead with its office reopening event and rededication ceremony yesterday (Thursday 9 March).
Fortunately, most guests were not deterred by the snowfall, with 70 people in attendance, including staff, suppliers, customers and media.
This included representatives from Athmer, who travelled from Germany, to support its UK distributor and Simon Forrester, Chief Executive Officer of the Guild of Architectural Ironmongers. They toured the newly refurbished Strand House, in Walsall, where the company has been located for more than 30 years.
Christine Franks, the wife of company founder, the late Jonathan Franks, carried out the ribbon cutting ceremony.
“I know that Jonathan would have been extremely proud to see how Strand Hardware has flourished,” she said.
The building has had a radical make over resulting in a more modern, open plan work space for its expanding team. It also includes a hi-tech reception and energy efficient measures including better insulation and motion sensor lighting.
Many of the materials used in the project were sourced from suppliers and clients including new windows, fire doors, electricals, plumbing, furniture, decoration, carpeting and signage, along with some of its own ironmongery products.
Guests were treated to refreshments and goody bags and a special cake was created to mark the event.
Managing Director Steve Marshall said: “The completion of the refurbishment project has taken many months of planning, organisation, disruption and hard work from all concerned. Those who had visited us before will no doubt see a vast improvement in our working environment, and our environmental credentials.
“Since the dear late Mr Jonathan Franks set up the company in 1992, Strand Hardware has gone from strength-to-strength, navigating its way through many national and global challenges, while always sitting solidly on its impeccable financial foundations.”
He also paid tribute to Strand’s ‘family’ – its 21-strong workforce and Jonathan’s daughter, Catherine Franks who took over as MD in 2005 and now Chairs its board.
“She has positioned Strand as one of the market leaders in our industry with customer service levels that are second to none and a reputation of which we can be proud,” he added.
