products and catalogue numbers, or have an overview of our entire range
with the help of our A-Z Product List.
Browse
You can browse through our entire online catalogue by selecting one
of our main product categories from the column on the left hand side of
the website, or by clicking on 'Product Catalogue' from the navigation
bar at the top of your screen. Each time you select a category from
these main menus, you'll then be shown a list of relevant sub-categories
and criteria that you can select for further browsing.
For example, the left column menu displays a list of all main product
categories, such as Security, Cable & Accessories, Switches &
Sockets, Heating etc. When selecting Security, for example, you will be
directed to the Security main page where a list of relevant
sub-categories such as CCTV, Security Alarms, Fire Alarms, etc. will be
displayed. You can then select any of these sub-categories and browse
until you find the product(s) you're looking for.
You can also view products by different criteria, such as by
Manufacturer/Brand by Clicking on 'Manufacturers' from the navigation
bar at the top of your screen
Search
You can also search for products by name, or catalogue number. Just
enter the type of product (e.g. CCTV, Alarm, PIR) into the search by
word or catalogue number box and we'll return all of the products which
match your chosen word. Entering a valid catalogue number into this
search field will take you straight to that product.
A-Z Product List

looking for. Simply click on the A-Z Product List link on the left hand
