Hanley Trade Frames celebrate the benefits of their partnership with Trojan

Hanley Trade Frames, based in Stoke on Trent, have been working with Trojan Hardware and Design, the innovative window and door hardware company, for some time and the partnership is going from strength to strength.

The original decision to partner with Trojan was taken because the company offers high quality, reliable and innovative products that are easy to use. Hanley Trade Frames are committed users of Trojan’s Sparta window handle and the Patriot door hinge and both products perfectly illustrate the Trojan ethos.

The Sparta handle has a substantial weight and high quality feel with superb performance, making it ideal for companies that trade on the quality of their products. A soft grip insert gives users improved comfort and feel while inline or cranked options offer improved hand clearance. It’s available in gold (PVD), chrome and traditional white and in a variety of spindle lengths so it’s suitable for a wide range of installations. Yet despite the product’s quality, it’s extremely competitively priced. This is thanks to a design innovation – a unique locking mechanism that requires less assembly time in the factory.

The Patriot flag hinge has design features that offer fabricators and installers a wealth of timesaving benefits. Unlike traditional flag hinges, the Patriot is supplied ready to fit with just two parts, making the fitting process much easier. Adjustments are easy too – compression and vertical height adjustments are done using a single Allen key in the same action. Once the desired position has been achieved, both adjustments simply click into place, eliminating the need for a secondary plug. Not only that, the adjustment can only be done in the perpendicular plane. This means adjustment can only be done when required so it’s impossible to adversely affect the lateral adjustment which prevents the frame being pulled into an ‘S’ shape and its integrity being compromised. The hinge is available in gold (PVD), chrome, light brown, dark brown, black and traditional white.

The products offer clear benefits to both installers and end users, something that Steve Thomas, Hanley’s Director, is well aware of. He says “The quality of the products is undoubted and it’s great to have such a solid relationship with Trojan. It gives us the confidence to focus on growing our business.”

Hanley Trade Frames is based in Stoke on Trent. The company sells its door and window ranges direct to the trade.
