This is complemented by the ESP guard safety door pull handle with its non-trap design and high-vis colour. This is an example of the Elesa range of grab handles in their standard hardware catalogue. The PC panel support clamp complements these for the easy fitment of guarding partitions without holes – it accommodates thicknesses from 3.1 to 8mm and is  designed for use with aluminium or steel frames of 25mm or larger section.
