Protect Your Home with Jackloc and Reisser Wood Screws

The summer months are almost over but don’t despair - it is predicted that periods of warm sunshine will continue well into October of this year! Keeping a window open to allow a nice cool breeze, which has the added benefit of reducing structurally-damaging and mould-causing condensation, is high on the priority list and the Jackloc is designed to allow you to do this with complete peace of mind.

The Jackloc window and door restrictor is an effective, unobtrusive way to control the extent to which a door or window can be opened, protecting children and pets inside from falling out while preventing anyone outside from gaining illicit access. Such is the professionally-high quality of the Jackloc that it has become the product of choice for window restriction at several major hotel chains including Travelodge and Thistle.

A tough, durable cable, that has achieved an unmatched 1,400 Newton pull-test result in rigorous independent studies, forms the basis of the Jackloc. The standard cable length (200mm) can be easily adjusted to suit individual applications and is secured with a choice of push-and-turn or key-lock systems. Any type of door or window is suitable for Jackloc application and, to meet a selection of aesthetics, a choice of quality finishes is available.

Using the innovative Jackloc in the home is extremely desirable though, in a building to which the public have access (such as a school or hotel) and there is a danger of falling, it is a requirement of the law. Whether you need to purchase 1 or 1,000 Jacklocs, Mercer & Sons Architectural Ironmongery Lancashire can offer the most competitive single-unit and bulk deals, guaranteeing continued protection for your residential, public or commercial property.

For nearly 25 years, Reisser have been producing the range of quality wood screws that have brought the company a global success. Offered with dependable next-day delivery and at the Mercer & Sons signature competitive price, we can supply the entire range of Reisser wood screws along with their other products such as power tool accessories and nuts & bolts.

Reisser wood screws are superior to their standard counterparts in many respects. Formed from tough hardened steel and with an innovative reinforced collar, the screws offer exceptional strength (both torque and tensile) and negate the possibility of snapping even when driven into the hardest of timber. The collar, deeper and wider than average, reduces the risk of slippage and also stops rounding to the edges.

The point angle of Reisser wood screws is a precise and sharp 25°, meaning that any need for creating pilot holes or pre-starting is unnecessary; the deeply-threaded, waxed screw is simply driven into timber directly. The risk of timber or board splitting, particularly when working closely to its edge, is dramatically reduced by the dual-slot system patented by Reisser, comprising two minute cuts in each screw’s thread.

Reisser screws are finished with a passivated, tropicalised zinc coating, imbuing them with up to 20 times more corrosion resistance than standard screws and giving them the trademark yellow colour unique to the company’s products.

Mercer & Sons Architectural Ironmongery Lancashire can readily provide any Reisser product. Comprehensively tested to ensure quality consistency, the products come with all standard guarantees and can be supplied at an even lower price for customers making bulk orders.
