    Could be one of ours. The only true way to check for any system is to take the top cap off and post a picture of the post extrusion looking down.Post a picture as we have used nearly all over the years before creating our own. The link shows what ours look like looking down to help….

    Hope that helps. If it’s not ours put a photo up and will gladly help if I can.

    Very Handy guide Andy, I actually had a customer wanting one replaced and assumed it was Ashby’s but when I opened it up it just did not look right, luckily we could replace the graphics but its very handy to know now where the original installer (He passed away in 2016) got his blanks from as a lot are coming round for replacement.

    Thanks Kevin. Over the last 30 years we have probably used most of the major manufacturers systems (at least five I can think of straight off) before we designed our own (using this experience to design out bad features as well as introduce good ones!). So if ever you get stuck please feel free to post a photo of the top of the extrusion and will be only to glad to help if I can. :smiles:
