Going To Town

Editor's Comment

We have an extensive extensions feature in this issue with a focus on glass and rooflights. Editor Brian Shillibeer writes that more and more installers want to be in this sector. And more and more want to take on as much of an extension project as they can by adding skills to their teams or becoming the lead contractor and employing subbies. It should, though, come as a warning that a construction company and its director have been fined after being found guilty of safety breaches on an extension project that resulted in a five-year-old child being injured by a falling cast iron pipe.

Mila has added a new option to its Supa stainless steel hardware range – the Town Lever on Rose door handle and cylinder escutcheon.

The combo provides a sleek, ergonomic solution for modern exterior doors.

Designed to integrate seamlessly with the Supa stainless steel and Harbour ranges for a consistent, the range is available in three suited premium finishes – Brushed Stainless, Polished Stainless, and Polished PVD Gold Stainless. All are manufactured from high-grade stainless steel.

Inside the door

The Supa Town Lever on Rose handle is designed for the inside of an exterior door and pairs nicely with Supa Pull Bars (sold separately) for a stylish, practical entrance. When fitted with a Yale AutoEngage Lock (sold separately) with a 20mm faceplate, the door automatically secures from the outside when closed, allowing safe exit from within and effortless key entry.

The handle includes a hidden fixing plate that anchors it adjacent to the lock backset, providing a strong, durable fit without relying on surface screws that can pull out – especially important for composite or softwood doors.

Upgrade

The matching escutcheon neatly houses the cylinder on both sides, and for maximum security, Mila recommends upgrading to a Yale Platinum 3-Star cylinder. Suitable for both left and right-handed doors, the sprung lever ensures a smooth return to 90°, eliminating any risk of handle sag for a consistently refined look and feel.

Standards

The Supa Town Lever on Rose exceeds industry requirements, with over 1,000 hours of salt spray testing – far beyond BS EN 1670 Grade 5. It also meets BS EN 1906:2012 testing for durability, strength, and performance, offers 100kg axial strength, 30Nm rotational force, and comes with a 25-year guarantee.

Paul Pearson, the product design director at Mila, says: “Our new Supa Town Lever on Rose door handle and escutcheon combines sleek styling, premium stainless-steel construction, and proven strength. Equally important, it’s designed for straightforward installation and seamless integration with our existing ranges – making it an excellent choice for fabricators working on modern exterior doors.”
