When joiner Neil Blakeburn of Ochiltree Bespoke Joinery needed a new front door he knew he was going to have to careful with his choice of hardware for it. Living in Northumberland meant the door hardware would have to be ‘fit for purpose’ in coping with the severe weather and environment.
As Neil said “I was looking for the highest quality ironmongery that would manage the harsh Northumberland weather in the winter. Using Accoya as the timber for the door, 'BLU' was the only choice as it combined aesthetics, performance and endurance.
It gave me peace of mind knowing that BLU ironmongery is made from a high grade 316 stainless steel. This meant the hardware would not only be able to withstand the acidic timber but also the corrosive atmosphere associated with Northumberland. I wanted hardware on my new door which was going to stay looking good for many years to come.
Coastal also supplied the Winkhaus heritage lock. I wanted this lock as it not only gives the door the security of a high-performance multipoint lock, but also keeps the tradition of most houses in our area by giving the look of the traditional Yale Nightlatch lock.”
