• Euro-profile escutcheons complemented the ironmongery with a clean, tamper-resistant finish.

• Locks, sash locks and bathroom locks were supplied to the door manufacturer as mortice samples for precision cutting ahead of installation.

• Intumescent packs were included to meet fire resistance requirements across all relevant doorsets.

Supporting sustainable education

While the ironmongery specification was not directly influenced by the building’ s Passivhaus status, the selected HOPPE products aligned with the overall ethos of quality, longevity and reduced environmental impact through low maintenance and high durability.

Seamless delivery and local legacy

The ironmongery package was delivered over a six-month period from January 2024.

Despite typical late-stage variations such as additional doors and keying requirements, all components were supplied and scheduled efficiently, helping to ensure a smooth handover.

The project also carries personal significance for the delivery team. Both Mark Parry and colleagues from HOPPE( UK) had family connections to the former school on the site, adding a sense of pride to the successful delivery of a landmark facility for the Wednesfield community.

HOPPE( UK)’ s involvement in the Wednesfield Technology Primary School showcases the brand’ s ability to meet complex performance, safety and compliance requirements in demanding educational environments.

Through its trusted partnership with Locks and Fittings, HOPPE has once again delivered reliability to help support the next generation in a safe, secure and future-ready school.
