New HOPPE High Security door Handle
 
You may have seen recent reports on television news or in the newspapers of a weakness in the locks on PVCu-uPVC doors. The weakness is currently being exploited by burglars in some areas of the UK, notably the West Yorkshire Police area.

This is a problem that is growing around the country; various methods are used by the burglars using simple everyday tools, allowing them to exploit an inherent flaw in the design of these Euro Profile Cylinders. The cylinders can be overcome in a matter of seconds and although we know the methods used we will not disclose these methods in any detail, as a precaution against “copy-cat” burglaries.

We believe that this security handle is the best defense against this growing method of lock snapping, not only a visual deterrent but more effective than just fitting a ant-snap cylinder that can now be overcome. That’s why we fit this handle as standard to all our doors & recommend this product as an essential upgrade to existing doors.

 The features are:

The new security handle set from HOPPE is different. The backplates are manufactured like no other. The fact they are fully machined from a solid base material combined with
hardened steel lugs and security fixings, gives a much stronger construction than the traditional cast and pressed products.

 

Security professionals highlight the cylinder as a vulnerable part of a doorset, including the surrounding hardware that operates a mortised or multipoint locking mechanism. Under section A.11 of PAS 24, along with controlled mechanical loadings, there is provision to attack the cylinder and Surrounding hardware using a set of specified tools in an attempt to gain entry through the door.

Most traditional cast and pressed backplates are lightweight and hollow, making them easily removable from a door, giving access to the vulnerable cylinder.
External back plates manufactured from solid aluminum extrusion, thus providing added strength and attack resistance.

Sliding cylinder cover to protect against attack and adjustable to suit various cylinder lengths.

M6 hardened steel screws for added strength

Same fixing positions as standard Hoppe products therefore making product suitable for retrofitting, no additional routing or other preparation is required and no need to fit additional cylinder protection.

Product Assessment Specification
Enhanced security performance for door set assemblies

PAS 24 is recognised by Secure By Design as a method of testing a door set assembly to the minimum level of security. Tests are carried out on a complete door set in its frame with identified points of attack within the specification.

When tested to PAS 24-1 section A.11 the new handles surpassed the standard and achieved consistently
excellent results.

Please note:
PAS 24 certification can only be carried out on a complete door set by an accredited testing agency.
