Zoo Hardware has cemented its relationship with door and window manufacturer JELD-WEN UK.
Over the past five years, Zoo Hardware and JELD-WEN UK’s collaboration has grown from the initial supply of hinges for flat entrance doors to encompass a wider range of ironmongery products from Zoo’s portfolio including hinges, locks, latches, and door closers, which are being used to support JELD-WEN UK’s expanding commercial door set business.
JELD-WEN UK supplies robust, regulation-compliant doors to major developers, contractors, and housing providers across the UK. Its product range includes door slabs, kits, and fully assembled door sets—including a wide selection of internal and fire-rated doors designed to meet stringent UK standards and customer demands.
Glyn Hauser engineering and innovation nanager at JELD-WEN UK, said: “Speed is of the essence in our business and the responsiveness of our supply chain partners helps us meet tight project timelines and customer expectations.
“It’s a big part of why we continue to grow the relationship with Zoo, as they are committed to supporting us in maintaining this reputation for swift and flexible service for our customers.”
Currently, JELD-WEN UK utilises Zoo’s G13 hinges as a mainstay product across many of its door solutions.
At the same time, volumes of Zoo’s Delta tubular latches are steadily increasing, and JELD-WEN UK anticipates a significant uptick in the use of DIN lock sets as the commercial side of its door set offering gains traction.
Angela Griffin, head of marketing at Zoo Hardware, said: “Working with JELD-WEN UK has been a very positive experience for us; we’re working with a company which is trusted by its customers to deliver products to high standards on time and that echoes our approach.
“We know our products are some of the best on the market and believe that our team’s commitment to exceptional customer service and industry knowledge is the perfect complement to that.
“The development of our relationship with JELD-WEN UK is a testament to this and we’re looking forward to continuing to build on this in the years ahead.”
Zoo’s proactive technical support for customers includes advice around critical compliance areas such as UKCA marking, which is a must for manufacturers navigating the increasingly regulated UK construction product market.
Hauser said: “From the beginning, the Zoo team has demonstrated a real commitment to supporting us technically, which is a great advantage.”
