The product lines HOPPE divides its product range into three lines based on the customers’ different requirements in price and perception of value – duravert ®, duraplus ® and duranorm ®. The purpose behind this is to enable you, our partners, to get a better overview of our product range and to make it easier for you to find the right handle of excellence. Whatever the differences, all three product lines have one thing in common: the proverbial HOPPE quality. Product lines duraplus® more than usual duranorm® consistently good value

Materials and their maintenance Aluminium: The surface of HOPPE aluminium fittings is protected by either anodising or powder coating. Anodising consists of a controlled, electrically induced oxidation process with the aid of sulphuric acid, which causes the base material to bond with oxygen and to grow a protective surface layer, the so-called oxide film. This film protects the products against detrimental influences such as hand perspiration, humidity and light mechanical stress. In powder coating, the coating powder is applied to the aluminium surface by means of an electrostatic process....

Resista® Resista® – HOPPE’s surface guarantee HOPPE Resista® hardware has a 10-year surface guarantee (please see “Guarantee” on the right-hand margin). They are therefore ideal for coastal areas and highly frequented areas such as public buildings, shops and hotels. All products with the Resista® surface guarantee have undergone continual quality testing and, when new, conform to the requirements of the European standard EN 1670 (“Locks and hardware – corrosion resistance – requirements and test methods”). Care: Dirt can easily be removed with a damp cloth. The use of caustic cleansers or chemicals...

Operational guarantee HOPPE’s operational guarantee According to HOPPE, a brand name product keeps its promise of quality to the enduser. As a way of ensuring this, HOPPE gives a 10-year guarantee on all door and window handles (as long as the respective assembly and maintenance guidelines are fulfilled; please see “Guarantee” on the right-hand margin). HOPPE brand name products undergo numerous tests to ensure flawless operation. Static impact tests and durability tests are also made depending on the product type. These closely reflect the everyday knocks hardware has to take and extend beyond...

1. Tests on door handles There are two durability grades (see p. 12) for door handles in DIN EN 1906 necessitating durability tests with various test cycles. • Grade 6: Medium frequency of use, for residential hardware: 100,000 test cycles (1 test cycle = once opening and closing of a door). • Grade 7: High frequency of use, for non-residential hardware: 200,000 test cycles. Application-related standards are set for the HOPPE operational guarantee. In all durability tests, the door handles are tested on the doors themselves. Residential hardware is tested in 182,500 operational cycles (1 cycle...

DIN EN 1906 (general) DIN EN 1906 – European and German standardisation for hardware For the purposes of European standardisation, EN 1906 has been worked out to specify the requirements and test methods for door handles and knobs. It was implemented as a European standard in October 2001. After several revisions it is currently valid as EN 1906:2012. The DIN EN 1906 only defines performance parameters while the dimensions of the hardware is not taken into account. It introduces a classification code system, allowing products to be compared. This European Standard specifies test methods and requirements...

The hardware is classified into 4 categories of use which are based on frequency of use and the expected area of use. The requirements and test loads are graded according to these categories. 1. Category of use (excerpt from the most important tests out of a total of 13) Rotational torque strength test Axial strength test Free play “at rest” Free angular movement Medium frequency of use by people with a high incentive to exercise care and with a small chance of misuse, e.g. internal residential doors. Medium frequency of use by people with some incentive to exercise care but where there is some...
