We want to make it as easy as possible for our customers to keep their product offering in line with the latest design trends without compromising on the quality and functionality of the product .
Diverse design application
With the growth of the composite door industry in recent years – composite and PVC doors account for more than half of all doors sold in the UK – manufacturers are offering every colour imaginable to both developers and homeowners .
With this in mind , ARRONE has designed the suited range to have mass appeal . The products will work aesthetically with most door designs , architectural styles and building materials making it ideal for use in both new build and refurbishment projects .
The suited range provides a practical solution for those supplying doors for larger developments , where individually-designed homes require a coherent thread running throughout . Manufacturers can order large quantities and have peace of mind that they can call off on site , as and when needed .
The products within the range also lend themselves to a diverse range of projects . The AR7550 lever handle has a 10.7mm backplate depth , so design changes to the door should not be needed if switching to the ARRONE handle from an alternative product . Standardising the size of the back plate has been an important consideration with the long backplate fixing designed to cover the majority of lock applications , further simplifying the selection process for specifiers .
There are two different styles of knocker , both with and without viewer , and four styles of pull handle to choose from . There is also a security shroud that protects the cylinder and is sufficient to prevent access and acts as a visual deterrent .
Colour matched fixings come as standard , and a version of the range is also available for manufacturers of PVC doors .
Product testing Specifying door hardware can be complex . While the products aesthetics are obviously important , manufacturers still need to prioritise the security and accessibility requirements , as well as long term performance .
Quality is synonymous with HOPPE brands because its products are tested to ensure flawless operation . These tests closely reflect the everyday knocks hardware has to take and extend beyond the requirements of performance standards such as BS EN 1906 .
As part of its commitment to high quality products , the ARRONE AR7550 handle has been tested to 200,000 cycles and has a 10-year mechanical operation guarantee , as long as assembly and maintenance guidelines are followed . It has also achieved the highest corrosion resistance grade under BS EN 1670 making it suitable for use in exposed marine atmospheres or very polluted industrial environments .
