MACO therefore seemed an obvious choice for John Frederick’s Plastics looking for a reliable and competent partner to supply casement products. Their decision has been further enhanced by registration to MACO’s ever popular MACO Secure scheme. The scheme guarantees to pay back the homeowner’s insurance excess in the unlikely event of a break-in through a window fitted with MACO hardware. John Fredericks Plastics have been using the MACO MK1 shootbolt espagnolette for the last sixteen years and recently decided to commit to the new MACO M-SPAG, a telescopic shootbolt espagnolette system which was one of the many highlights at this year’s FiT Show in Telford in April.
The new M-SPAG telescopic shootbolt provides numerous benefits for the Fabricator including its new streamlined design, only 4 sizes covering a size range of 320mm to 1500mm. The M-SPAG comes in new purpose made packaging designed to increase stability and ease of use. The cigarette style end opening of the box also shows a QR Code and bar code with can be used to create future orders or source more information about the product. The modular system means that many window styles can be achieved from one product including casement, French casement, top hung windows and low handle height windows for disabled access etc. It comes with a ten year product warranty and is included as part of the MACO Secure scheme. A product designed for the UK and performance tested to European Industry standards the M-SPAG telescopic shootbolt espagnolette has been created by listening to Fabricators like John Fredericks Plastics.
