NEW ARRONE RANGE MAKES HARDWARE SELECTION EASY

A new suited door hardware range has been launched to make it easier for installers to source matching ironmongery .

122 TIMES ROUND THE EARTH – HOPPE ATLANTA HANDLE HITS ITS 200 MILLIONTH MILESTONE

HOPPE ( UK ) is celebrating a major milestone for one of its longest standing products having recently delivered its 200 millionth Atlanta door handle .
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 :
“ We ’ ve worked with HOPPE ( UK ) for as long as I ’ ve been in the industry , and it has always been one of our leading handle brands within our hardware range .
“ 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 .
“ We have a very good working relationship with HOPPE ( UK ). I know exactly who to call if there ’ re any queries and they are always knowledgeable and friendly .”
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 .

The new suited collection from ARRONE , a HOPPE brand , has been designed to have mass appeal and provide high-quality ironmongery in a variety of finishes that complement both contemporary and traditional door designs .
Selected ARRONE door handles , knockers , letter plates and numerals are part of the suited range and are now available in seven new finishes including greys , traditional metals , black , and white .
The range makes it as easy as possible for installers to offer homeowners the latest design trends without compromising on the quality and functionality of the product . There are two different styles of knocker , both with and without viewer , and four styles of pull handle to choose from . While looks are important , security and long-term performance is a priority . There is also a security shroud that protects the cylinder and is sufficient to prevent access and acts as a visual deterrent .
At the heart of the collection is the AR7550 lever handle which has a 10.7mm backplate depth . The standard size of the back plate means it will cover the majority of lock applications , to make replacing existing handles easy . There is also a security shroud that protects the cylinder and is sufficient to prevent access and acts as a visual deterrent .
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 .
Colour matched fixings come as standard , and a version of the range is also available for PVC doors .
