C.R. Laurence Australia introduces five new locking ladder pulls featuring
design characteristics that comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act
(A.D.A.).
C.R. Laurence specialises in engineering quality architectural solutions
that help architects, contractors, and installers create buildings with a blend
of aesthetics and real world functionality. CRL’s understanding of the importance
of effective operation for the end user, including individuals protected under
the A.D.A. has resulted in the new line of locking ladder pulls for all-glass
entrances.
Designed for improved operation by individuals with disabilities, CRL’s
new locking ladder pulls feature an alloy 316 stainless steel construction, and
a smaller diameter housing that gives them a contemporary minimalist aesthetic
while providing enhanced, specially designed A.D.A. compliant thumb-turn
mechanisms.
Key features of CRL’s new locking ladder pulls include fully concealed
deadbolts complete with 6-pin or 7-pin rim-type cylinders designed for easy
re-keying or maintenance when necessary; design eliminating any bending or
kneeling down to lock or unlock doors; readily available for immediate shipment
in 48, 60, 72, and 84-inch sizes to meet strict architectural project deadlines;
and custom sizes up to 120 inches and/or fully compliant configurations also
available for special order.
According to Al Eini, C.R. Laurence Brand Manager for Commercial
Hardware, CRL’s new quality hardware is designed to meet the requirements of
new initiatives taken by architects to design more accessible commercial
buildings. He adds that the new locking ladder pulls enhance overall function
from the strategic placement of the locking mechanisms to convenient
maintenance features with their minimalist, modern designs maintaining striking
aesthetics.
Staying with CRL's commitment to maintaining the industry's highest
standards, the new locking ladder pulls are thoroughly tested in the company's
ISO 9001:2008 certified facilities to 100,000 cycles to ensure long-term
durability and operation.
