PC Henderson has long been acknowledged as the world leader in the design and manufacture of Sliding Gear Systems for residential, commercial and industrial applications, providing the highest quality sliding and folding door gear at the right price, backed by first class service, for over 90 years. Part of ASSA ABLOY, the global leader in door opening solutions, PC Henderson introduces Securefold Ultra, a new, innovative security concept for residential and commercial exterior folding doors. “With all the benefits of Henderson’s existing Securefold product, the Ultra system has additional cleverly designed, enhanced security components making it one of the most secure systems on the market,” says Nolan Couzyn, Technical Sales Support for PC Henderson South Africa.

“The Securefold Ultra has three points of locking on every door seam; it has an attack resistant hinge incorporating a security pin and unique central interlocking hinge leaf that prevents a burglar from tampering with or actually removing the hardware from the door,” continues Couzyn. There is also a flush bolt manufactured from extruded aluminium incorporating a 10mm diameter 316 stainless steel bolt which, according to PC Henderson, is impervious to any attack or potential break-in. Couzyn ads, “To make the Securefold Ultra even more burglar proof, all hardware incorporates security screws to prevent it from being disengaged from the hinge.” Couzyn emphasises that, “Certification demands an attack resistant hinge incorporating security pins, a hinge bolt and central interlocking hinge leaf that ensure three points of locking on every seam to prevent a burglar from tampering or removing the hardware from the door. These units are individually specified and imported for each application; bringing peace of mind to South African’s demanding a higher security solution.”

The “Henderson” name has become a hallmark for enduring quality, conforming to the highest European Standards and successfully flies the flag for British manufacturing.
Securefold Ultra has been tested to the European security standard BS EN 1627:2011 to ensure that the enhanced Ultra system meets the requirements to be firmly classified burglar resistant. Couzyn points out that door hardware such as Securefold Ultra also incorporates a rugged, weather resistant and corrosion-resistant system which is essential for long-term security and explains, “The extremes of the South African weather have to be taken into account as this is a big factor in wear and tear on mechanisms, leaving them vulnerable.” “We are dedicated to satisfying end-user needs for security, safety and convenience,” concludes Couzyn.
