Jargon busting Glide & Lock

All of our Glide & Locks are made in-house in our factory in Shropshire. This gives us a huge amount of flexibility – which is fantastic. The result however is that our range is so extensive, for many making a choice is bewildering. We regularly get calls from customers confused and worried about purchasing the wrong one.

Our answer to them is usually simple – there isn’t really a wrong one.

But there are options that are worth considering to make your Glide & Lock even more effective for your individual needs

And it is also very important that you use your Glide & Lock correctly

So here is our second “Easy Guide” – this time unravelling the lingo behind Glide and Locks. Do take a look: https://www.hospitaldirect.co.uk/guide-to-glide-lock/

And keep your eyes open for our next Easy Guide – Positioning wedges.
