ALL ABOUT THE DOOR
The Suited Life : Simplifying Specification
A new suited door hardware range has been launched to make it easier for locksmiths and installers to source corresponding ironmongery in line with the latest design trends .
ยป THE NEW SUITED COLLECTION from ARRONE , a HOPPE brand , offers installers the choice of seven new finishes across selected door handles , traditional and designer knockers , letters and numerals . Coordinating pull handles are also available from HOPPE .
Traditional vs . contemporary design
All of the colours within the suited collection have been chosen to help installers provide homeowners with high-quality door hardware with versatile design applications .
In recent years there has been a revival of black and white ironmongery on doors across the UK , while dark grey hardware continues to grow in popularity . Stainless-steel effect and polished chrome are great choices for a more contemporary door design , while polished brass is a favoured finish for homeowners that want to maintain a more traditional appearance .
Practical application
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 most lock applications and make replacing existing handles much simpler .
Colour matched fixings come as standard , and a version of the range is also available for PVC doors .
Technical performance
While the appearance of the hardware is important , security and long-term performance is a priority . There is 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 .
