122 TIMES ROUND THE EARTH
» THE 200 MILLIONTH ATLANTA handle was purchased by hardware distributor Carl F Groupco , which has been selling window and door hardware components to the UK fenestration industry since the 1950s from its distribution centres in Peterborough and Cumbernauld .
The Atlanta model is one of HOPPE ’ s best-selling door handles because of its durability , sleek design , smooth action and range of finishes .
HOPPE handles are named after cities with international airports . If all of the Atlanta handles sold in the UK to date were laid end to end , the line of handles would extend the same distance as the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport ’ s longest runway almost 13,000 times , and would even circumnavigate the globe 122 times .
John Crittenden , managing director for Carl F Groupco since 1989 , has worked
with HOPPE products throughout his career . He said : “ The design of the Atlanta handle , as well as the consistent quality , is what makes it so appealing . The finer details like the finger grips and shaped lever are elements that you just don ’ t get with other brands . Once our customers have used the Atlanta handle for a project , they will come back to ask for it again on their next project .”
HOPPE launched the Atlanta handle in 2005 . Designed as a brass security handle set on narrow backplate with cylinder cover for profile doors , it ’ s available with twin handles or a pad / handle set combination in a range of finishes including polished chrome and brass coloured and in diamond white for profile doors .
It is now available in a full range of finishes including the Resista ® finish which has been designed to ensure it can withstand the effects of weathering so is ideal for use in coastal areas . As part of HOPPE ’ s commitment to high quality products , Resista ® handles have a 10-year surface guarantee . This is in addition to the 10- year mechanical operation guarantee that applies to all HOPPE door and window handles .
The Atlanta handle has tested to standards recommended by Secured by Design – Annex A if PAS24:2016 and TS007 .
