Sliders UK

A burglar recently found it impossible to break into a Patio door supplied to ROK by Sliders UK.

Specialist patio door manufacturer Sliders UK supplied a number of Ultimate patio doors to ROK, the Nation's Local Builder™, for their Templecombe, Somerset site in September 2009. In February 2010, a burglar attempted to break into the patio door, using a hammer to try and smash the door handle. The Ultimate patio door, with the ‘Secured By Design’ locking mechanism, proved too robust for the burglar, who gave up trying to enter through the patio door after many attempts.

Sliders UK leads the PVC-U patio door market, manufacturing the UK’s first ‘Secured By Design’ patio door since July 2008. Its class-leading system, the Ultimate patio door, is the first in-line PVC-U patio door to have been awarded the Association of Chief Police Officers’ Secured by Design status and the BBA’s Enhanced Security certification, making it the most secure patio door on the market.

Few companies can match Sliders UK’s pedigree and reputation in the UK with over 600 customers nationwide and by far the largest market share of any patio door manufacturer. At the forefront of the industry, it continues to develop a range of offers and initiatives including its unique 10-year security guarantee on their range of in-line PVC-U patio doors, and its free patio door offer for developers’ show houses and installers’ showrooms.

Mike Spain, joint Managing Director at Sliders UK said: “Security has always been a core development principle for all Sliders UK’s products. We are constantly developing our patio doors, working closely with all our customers and industry partners to develop the most attractive and secure PVC-U patio doors on the market. The high level of security provided by the Ultimate patio door is compelling evidence that our patio doors offer more security protection than any other doors on the market.”

Neil Legget, ROK construction site manager commented: “We are delighted with the security level of the patio door and, just as important, the excellent support service from Sliders UK, who responded quickly and replaced the damaged handle.”
