Walking into a home and absorbing the interior design evokes an emotive response. A visual, visceral experience, the interior is all about how a home looks and how it makes you feel. From the colour palette to the carpet, from the timber flooring to the furniture, from the artwork to the soft furnishings, it’s the textures and tones that invite ‘oohs and ahs’ of delight.
However there is so much more involved in making a home function smoothly, efficiently and worry free. It’s the hidden heroes that add to the success of a home – from the plumbing and electricity to insulation and under floor heating. Lincoln Sentry is one of the hidden heroes we work with at KWD, a well-oiled operation of professionals who work feverishly behind the scenes to provide products that make life run smoothly, without you even realising how smooth it is.
Specification Manager Deborah Kercheval explains, “Everything Lincoln Sentry provides is hidden from the eye, such as drawer systems, hinges and runners. Whilst they remain largely unseen they are vital to ensuring the smooth running and functionality of doors and drawers.” Deborah has been with Lincoln Sentry for over 17 years managing client specifications for architects, designers and builders for residential, multi-residential and commercial projects.
Lincoln Sentry are distributors and suppliers to the cabinet making hardware industries. Says Deborah, “We supply cabinet makers with all the interior fit-outs for drawers, wardrobes and cabinetry from runners and hingers to lighting, lift systems and organisational systems – everything that makes cabinetry work efficiently behind the closed doors. We supply manufactures with the hardware and work with retailers who stock the range.”
Quality is what sets Lincoln Sentry apart from its competitors. Blum is one of the key brands that Lincoln Sentry works with – a large international company that manufactures their products in Austria with a lifetime warranty on their hardware. They also proud to work with Australian manufacturer Oliveri whose name is synonymous with quality sinks and tapware. Their mind-boggling number of SKUs includes handles, clips, nuts, bolts and screws, and fully integrated systems:
- Drawer systems (hinges and runners)
- Lift systems (for doors that open vertically)
- Storage, bin and organisational systems for drawers
Choosing the right internal hardware for joinery is all about function. It’s such a pleasure to enjoy doors and drawers that operate smoothly and close properly and having storage systems that help you organise every room in your home. Having everything you need at your fingertips with the confidence your systems will work efficiently for a lifetime cannot be underestimated. The items that you use day in and day out – you don’t notice when they are working but you certainly do notice when they are not.
