Aussie homeowners and facility and property managers know that when it comes to properly securing a building against intruders, the elements and energy inefficiency, nothing should be left to chance. And not surprisingly, that includes ensuring the fastening hardware on windows, sliding porch and patio doors and screens are up to the job.
Not only aren’t builder-grade window and sliding door hardware built to withstand determined attempts to pry or force them open, they’re also prone to rapid degradation and leaks as a result of UV exposure. Fortunately though, there’s one Australian window and sliding door hardware manufacturer who understands how important it is to protect these critical openings; and they stock a solid selection of replacement parts to transform their fixtures, and even those of their competitors, into the securest entryways around.
Bradnams Makes Window and Door Fixtures That Won’t Break the Budget
With over half a century in the business of designing and manufacturing cutting-edge, high-quality aluminium windows and doors, Bradnman window and door fixtures are synonymous with entryways that are as secure as they are attractive. They understand that not every home or business owner wants to go down the costly path of replacing dozens – or even hundreds – of window and door fixtures, even if they’re not the best quality. That’s why Bradnam’s premium upgrade hardware is the ideal solution for all round entryway security.
Bradnam manufactures a wide range of replacement and upgraded fastening hardware and components to revive all kinds of windows and doors, the most popular of which include:
- Sliding window and door locks, latches and rollers;
- Locking and non-locking window and door handles and restrictor blocks;
- Male and female sliding door connectors and bump stops;
- Louvre handle suits, along with extensions and spacers; and,
- Fly screen handles, clips and stops, and corner stake blocks.
With their robust construction and tastefully contemporary styling, home and business owners can appreciate the fact that Bradnam hardware isn’t designed exclusively for Bradnam fixtures. Many of their window and door parts and components are fully compatible with Clearview, Teasco, and older Dowell brand fixtures. For property owners and managers, it’s solid assurance that they can secure their existing fixtures against unwanted intrusion without breaking their budgets in the process.
Proprietary Engineering Gives Bradnam Hardware the Security Edge
Make no mistake: while there are clear performance rating differences between residential and light commercial windows and doors, there’s effectively no difference between them when it comes to their basic security expectations. Window panes and the glass inserts in doors shouldn’t be the chief point of resistance at an entryway. This is where the strength of Bradnam’s own proprietary keyed and sliding pushlock fastenings draw the line on forced entries and break-ins.
With their innovative use of die-cast 304 stainless steel, aluminium and reinforced polymer components, Bradnams brings durability to the forefront of their security lock design, harnessing a core of attributes and features that include:
- Heavy-duty engineering. Bradnam-engineered locking mechanisms are built to meet the standards of Bradnam window and door hardware, including morticed multi-point door locks and sliding latches designed especially to resist the elements and forced intrusion.
- Premium key configurations. Bradnam’s proprietary window and door locks are keyed specifically for 5- and 6-disc lock cylinders, are chrome or stainless steel finished for added durability, and can be “one-key” configured to allow one key to be used on multiple fixtures.
- UV-resistant polymers. Wherever corrosion resistant stainless steel and aluminium aren’t used, Bradnam uses only UV-resistant polymers for moulded plastic parts, helping ensure maximum durability and colour-fastness against Australia’s relentless heat and sunlight exposure.
Integrated smartlock upgrading is also available with select Bradnam doors, and window and door lock hardware. These Wi-Fi capable options make keyless entry and remote monitoring possible directly from the fixture, giving any residential or light commercial window or door all the security capabilities that are typically only afforded their heavy commercial counterparts.
Aesthetics Matter With Bradnam’s Best-Made Hardware
Let’s be honest: while security is understandably every property owner’s chief focus, that’s no excuse for unattractive window and door fixtures. Aging door and window hardware may not be accurate indicators of how secure or efficient a building’s fixtures actually are, but together with a significant loss of curb appeal, that’s precisely the impression they leave.
Bradman window and door hardware is as effective at addressing aesthetics as it is at security, and offers a bevy of visual advantages that include:
- Stylishly minimalist design. When it comes to contemporary styling, less really is more. The clean lines and subtle details of Bradnam hardware allow it to fit effortlessly into any decor without compromising their trademark security.
- Colours to match any interior. Bradnam window and door hardware is available in long-lasting black, white or grey powdercoat finishes, with appropriately moulded plastic parts to produce the perfect look for any room or setting.
- Fully fashionable functionality. While the ease that a window or door open at largely down to the condition of the fixture itself, Bradnam handles are designed to be operated with maximum ergonomic ease, with components like their louvre handle suits offering both exceptional looks and functionality.
The fact is, committing to replacing aged and weathered hardware is as much an investment in window and door security as it is in aesthetics. Whether it’s from the inside or the outside, the sheer visual impact of upgraded hardware can be enough to put off would-be intruders. That makes Bradnam hardware a security upgrade that does more than prevent break-ins: it actually deters them.
The Final Word
At the end of the day, while no window or door can boast that it’s completely secure, the imperative for homeowners and property managers to make their properties as secure as possible has never been greater. Everything from an owner’s insurance premiums to the cost of repairing or replacing any property that’s damaged during an intrusion has to be considered – all of which makes the urgency for replacing inadequate fixture hardware even greater.
High quality Bradnam door and window fixtures are the answer every property owner or manager needs to transform their inadequate fixtures into high-security assets. They’re the cost-effective solution that yield instant results.
