The Partnership Pledge initiative also benefits the main contractor Connaught and window fabricator KEB Fabrications.
Sarah Rudderham at KEB says: "This is a great example of partnership working throughout the supply chain".
"Securistyle has provided advice about the latest window hardware and how best to meet regulatory requirements with regard to issues such as emergency egress, child safety, the DDA and British Standards".
"We are confident that the most appropriate hardware is being fitted and will perform well in the long term".
Neil Rabbitts, northern specifications sales manager at UK manufacturer Securistyle said: "Around half of the homes being refurbished are for the elderly so it was important that the appropriate hardware was specified in order to meet the needs of the elderly residents".
"Window hinges for example are not all the same and there is so much product choice - in terms of quality and functionality - so we work with the specifier and the fabricator to help them make the right choice for the right application".
"As key members of the supply chain, the Partnership Pledge scheme demonstrates our commitment and accountability to our partners".
Securistyle offers a free CPD-certified seminar covering all aspects of safety, security, emergency egress, corrosion resistance and Best Value in relation to window hardware specification.
