What kind of locking safety device is on your spa cover? The basic hardware normally used is called a sureloc. It opens by squeezing the two outer sides together.
One thing to consider when selling a replacement cover to a consumer is that many people today are using warm water therapy to improve many different physical ailments. As a result, you may meet consumers who have serious physical limitations especially in their outer extremities.
As a result, it may be very difficult for them to open this type of hardware. The good news is that Sunstar offers an alternative to this. It is called Center Release Hardware and opens by simply pushing a button in the center after unlocking with the supplied key.
So, if you have a customer suffering from arthritis in their hands be sure and order their cover with Center Release Hardware. They will thank you for it.
