Tradelink chooses Excalibur

Tradelink Window Solutions says it has strengthened its link with Kenrick after choosing the high security Excalibur door lock for its ‘Homeguard’ branded PVC-U doors.

Jim Moody, managing director at Tradelink, said: “We had been working with our previous supplier for 10 years and had been happy with the product. However, we knew that we could improve on the security of our lock and we wanted to make some refinements that would speed up the fitting time for our fabricators and installers. We looked at several systems and eventually opted for Kenrick’s Excalibur door lock because it’s a proven and robust solution that we knew would guarantee years of trouble-free service for homeowners.

“We routinely measure all our suppliers on how easy they are to work with and score them on lead times, shortages and stock-outs. Kenrick has always been in our top three so we had absolute confidence that they could fulfil all our supply requirements without any interruptions for us. Switching suppliers can be daunting, but our move to the Excalibur door lock was seamless – Kenrick supported us throughout the transition, so much so that they’ve now taken the top spot on our supplier list.”

Every PVC-U door made by Tradelink is now said to be fitted with the Excalibur door lock and Kenrick trained Tradelink’s fabricators on how to fit it correctly. Tradelink has projected that it will fit more than 20,000 bespoke Excalibur door locks a year, all of which will be stamped with its Homeguard brand name.

Tradelink, which began working with Kenrick 10 years ago, also uses the Excalibur shootbolt system for PVC-U windows and the Nemesis multi-point window locking system for aluminium windows.

Steve Williams, Kenrick’s sales and marketing director, added: “We’re proud to be working alongside one of the industry’s largest fabricators and are absolutely delighted to now be top of their supplier list.”
