Sylvan Noventa Series – The Noventa series has been designed in New Zealand to match Sylvan door hardware and features Secure x technology for added strength.

to error, with catalogues containing
multitudes of options to choose from.
Miles Nelson Commercial (MNC) door
hardware kits simplify this process by
incorporating the MNC5000 mortice
lock with door furniture into ve
different kits covering the most common door setups. The smart retail boxes clearly display the component products, removing any doubt that the tradesman or retailer may not have the right hardware.
