It is common knowledge that we are surrounded by bacteria, which are microscopic, mostly single-celled organisms. Bacteria can be both beneficial as well as harmful to human beings. Harmful bacteria such as E.coli, salmonella, SARS, etc. can cause serious infections such as cholera, tetanus and various respiratory and gastric diseases. Bacteria thrive in warm and moist conditions. The use of anti-microbial or anti-bacterial agents is required to destroy them and prevent them from spreading.

One of the most common places where bacteria breed in profusion is publicly-used areas such as hotels, hospitals, railway stations, and airports. The most vulnerable of these are hospitals where many of the occupants already suffer from some illness. Hospitals, therefore, need to be extra careful and sanitized regularly and properly to ensure that bacteria are not allowed to breed. Despite all precautions, it is often not possible to completely prevent bacteria from breeding. Door handles and other exit mechanism, which are handled by a large number of people, are particularly susceptible to harbouring bacteria which can live for hours on the surface and transfer from one person to another.

Viewing this situation with concern, Dorset, a leading supplier of high-end architectural hardware solutions, set their R&D team the task of finding a solution to the problem. The result was Dorset Safe Touch, which is an imperceptible anti-microbial and anti-bacterial coated hardware. Safe Touch uses proven silver-based technology, innovated by Dorset, which prevents the spread of bacteria and other microbes. Safe Touch products are effective against a wide array of bacteria, mold, fungi, algae and mildew and provide protection against E.coli, SARS, MSRA, Salmonella, Listeria, C.difficile and various other bacterial spores.

Last few weeks have been challenging as the growing outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic has affected each one of us in multiple ways, our families, friends, business and way of life. This fast changing situation has set a "New Normal" and forced us to re evaluate how we operate.

We Have resumed operations post lockdown, The Response Team are working relentlessly to ensure seamless start of the operations simultaneously ensuring the safety of our employees ensuring adherence to the Government directions.

We have created a Standard Operating Process(SOP) which will help us to be efficient and consistent across the group.

The hallmark of a truly great company is its ability to pay attention to the tiniest of details in the service that it provides. Dorset, a leading supplier of architectural hardware solutions, is one such company that is known for its dedicated efforts to provide simple yet effective solutions. Its unique Protective Touch technology ensures that Mortise handles that are installed in the flats in under-construction buildings are protected from the paint stains, dents and scratches that are sustained during construction work.

Protective Touch is a specially designed laminated layer covering the Mortise handles when they are installed. This layer prevents the surface of the handles from being damaged, stained or disfigured during the construction process. Once the flats are ready to be handed over to the owners, the laminated layer is peeled off, leaving the handle in pristine condition.

This a solution that is beneficial to all concerned; workers do not have to worry about damaging the handles while they are working and owners can be secure in the knowledge that they get everything in mint condition.

Dorset is a leading supplier of high-end architectural hardware solutions to a wide range of industries. One such industry is the construction industry. Among its many innovative solutions for the construction industry, one such solution is the Construction Key Cylinder.

The premise is simple and easy to execute. While a building is being built, the workers use one set of keys, known as the Construction Key, to access each flat. Once a flat has been handed over to the owner, the Construction Key stops working and the owner is presented with a set of keys known as Owner Key. After its first use, the Owner Key thereafter is the only key capable of locking or unlocking the door of the flat.

This simple, yet brilliant piece of technological innovation ensures the security of the buyer’s flat, without the need to change the lock, thereby preventing unnecessary expenditure or possibility of misuse. Innovations such as these are what set Dorset apart from the rest of the hardware architecture manufacturers in India.
