3 Preface Dear LEBO customers and friends, Welcome to the current issue of the LEBO newsletter. We bring important news related to our products and significant changes within our sector for you once again. One such change is the updated DIN standard in Germany. This standard has been reviewed as the result of an initiative by the RAL quality assurance organisation in co-operation with the steel frame industry and the DIN Standards Committee Building and Civil Engineering. One important addition to this standard is that there is now a specified height for a third hinge, necessary in higher or heavier doors, for instance. We have compiled all relevant information on the updated standard for you. Find out more on page 4. In the last LEBO newsletter, we introduced you to the white lacquer finish film, available at a comparable price to CPL. In this issue, we offer you a helpful overview on page 5, which shows you how to optimally combine our high-grade white lacquer doors and frames with one another. If you did not receive the last LEBO newsletter or wish to reread important information, you will find all back issues of the newsletter in our News section on our web page at de. There, you will now also find current image files from the latest version of our catalogue ready for download. We remind you once more of our RED DOT, designed to help you find your way around our newsletter as quickly as you do on our internet pages. It marks relevant contents for you in case you do not have the time to read the whole LEBO newsletter straight away. One thing we do promise is that you will always find something of interest in the LEBO newsletter. This is not only because of important news related to our products, but also because this is the only place where you can learn about our new employees, such as our new trainees and Mr Schmeing. They introduce themselves to you on page 12. IMPORTANT FOR ALL SPECIALIST RETAILERS We hope you enjoy reading this issue.

4 NEWSTICKER NEWS TICKER Changes, additions & new developments Find out all key information about our products and services here Accessories: porch and floor-to-ceiling structures, including nails for glazing Porch and floor-to-ceiling structures with transoms are now supplied with nails for glazing. These are enclosed in a polyethylene bag in the frame box. Accessories: plastic cover plugs now available for Steel Frame WK II You now have the option of ordering more cost-effective plastic cover plugs for drill holes instead of rearwelded masonry protection for WK II Steel Frames. These grey cover plugs cost 0.50 euros each and their item code is E Do not forget to order the drill holes (hinge-side fasteners) for the WK II Steel Frames directly as well. Adaptation to new DIN 18101: hinge distance for third hinge There was no reference to a third hinge in the old version of DIN 18101, but the new DIN specifies a 350-mm gap from an optional third hinge to the top edge. Efficient machine pool: new installation in a state-of-the-art drilling line As part of continued optimisation of our production processes, we will be installing a new drilling line in our plant in Bocholt, Germany. This drilling line will be primarily used to integrate locks, hinges and modifications, such as drilled holes for spy holes on interior doors. The system adds the cutting template stored in the controls fully automatically. Thanks to integration of the higher level plant control system, a bar code on the door concerned also scans in the template automatically. The aim is not only to provide a stable process chain for doors with flush, barrel and concealed hinges, which currently need to be processed by hand in a separate area, but also to optimise the overall production process. As from CW 44, we will only be able to provide reduced manufacturing capacities due to installation during ongoing operations. Please note that delivery periods may be longer during installation. You will receive detailed information through the post. Are you interested in visiting the plant to see the new production line in action in spring next year? Ask your field sales representative about a visit. Short plant closure: company holiday over Christmas & New Year Please note that there will be nobody in our offices between and inclusive.
