The new handles can incorporate single or multi-point locksets. www.truth.com Get the Strength of a TITAN™ from Roto The company plans to add another interior handle design to the TITAN series in the coming months. TITAN’s 2-point version has two opposing hooks to prevent the door panel from being lifted off the track and out of the frame. All lock assemblies have a mishandling device to prevent damage to the locking hooks when closing the door. In addition, on the interior assembly, the mounting screws are side-mounted for a cleaner appearance. Available in both locking and non-locking configurations, TITAN has a locking/unlocking detent feature that indicates positive lock or unlock status. For maximum security, the non-locking version is available with a security plate and an anti-drill feature on the exterior pull. TITAN is available in three standard colors, G2 white, blue white and almond as well as seven architectural finishes including brass, antique brass, chrome, brushed chrome, oil rubbed bronze, pewter and brushed nickel. Custom colors, custom handles and custom logos on the escutcheon are available upon request. Trim packages include an interior handle, a mounting base, a latch lever, and an exterior pull. Locking configurations are available keyed alike or keyed random.

Up to 200 profile heights can be stored. Likewise, the system can create and memorize 40 fixture typologies using mathematical formulae, which allow it to calculate cutting lists with the setting of the external measurements of the fixture. The machine series also can store and run seven cutting lists of 380 lines each, which can be entered by keyboard from an external PC connected to the machine via a RS 232C serial line. www.ameri-can.ca American Renolit Expands Laminate Film Line The company says its Cova SR film will give PVC window manufacturers a chance to break away from the “me too” designs that it says are often present on the inside of vinyl window frames.

In addition, American Renolit will display its FAST brand of exterior laminate film for PVC window decoration.
