Simple and safe – the Handle of excellence with a finger scanner

HOPPE entrance door hardware with an integrated finger scanner offer exceptionally convenient keyless access control: the scanning elements are ergonomically integrated directly into a square bar pull handle or a door pad, enabling the door to be unlocked and opened in one seamless movement. The scanners used come from the manufacturer Idencom. They are especially easy to use and work regardless of climatic conditions. Assembly is trouble-free for the installer.

Keyless access control technology is becoming increasingly common – in the private and industrial area. For practical reasons and in order to reduce the potential for misuse, unchanging physical features are often used for identification. Using a person's finger instead of a key is the most commonly applied concept. HOPPE presents entrance door hardware with integrated finger scanner: To unlock the door, simply move your finger over a scanner field inserted into the handle. The advantage is that, unlike scanner fields placed near the entrance door, these enable a door to be unlocked and opened in a single action.

The finger scanning technology used here is supplied by Idencom, a leading provider of biometric identification systems. These scanners are recognized for their high level of user-friendliness and exceptional functional reliability – they work flawlessly even under extreme climatic conditions. The compact stainless steel design allows the finger scanner to blend in beautifully with HOPPE hardware. Both bar-shaped pull handles and one knob design have been fitted with the keyless access control technology. HOPPE is the only European manufacturer to offer a knob with a finger scanner – either on a security fitting or on rose!

The finger scanner is simple and intuitive to use. Teach-in processes take place via the scanner itself, while other settings, such as authorisation management, can be configured using a small remote control. The system can store up to 150 fingerprints. The Idencom finger scanners offer a high level of security. Unlike systems that require a finger just to be placed on the scanner, this finger scanner identifies the fingerprint from the movement. No image of the fingerprint remains on the scanner itself – thus unauthorised replication is not possible. The finger scanner is particularly impervious to environmental conditions. It can withstand temperatures from -20 to +85 degrees Celsius and is also sealed watertight (IP class 65).

HOPPE hardware with a finger scanner are easy to install for any professional installer: no additional milling of the door leaf is required – simply route a pre-assembled cable from the pull-handle support or the knob to the motorized lock. Apart from this, HOPPE hardware with finger scanners are installed in the same way as before using the familiar HOPPE pull handle fixing system.

Like the finger scanners from Idencom, HOPPE hardware with finger scanners are manufactured in Germany.

SecuForte – Simple. Different. More secure.

With SecuForte, HOPPE offers a completely new standard in burglary resistance. When the window is closed or tilted, the handle and square spindle are uncoupled and the handle is automatically locked. It is a unique concept that protects against the unauthorised opening of a window from outside.

SecuForte has been registered for both a patent and a brand.

Simple. Different. More secure.

Window handles with SecuForte give burglars essentially no options for manipulating the window: As long as the handle is decoupled from the square spindle, it is virtually impossible to operate the handle from outside – even when the window is tilted. In this way, SecuForte protects not only against displacing the window fitting from outside, but also against the break-in methods of piercing the glass seal or drilling the frame in order to be able to turn the window handle from outside.

The advantages

• Protection against break-ins by piercing the glass seal, drilling the frame or manipulating the hardware
• Automatic locking function when the window is closed (0°) and when tilted (180°)
• Burglary-resistant even when the window is tilted (180°)
• Certified according to RAL
• With adjustable spindle VarioFit^®
• Also available with cylinder locking

More window security with SecuForte

Window handles with SecuForte are decoupled and locked when the window is closed or tilted, which means the handle and the square spindle are not connected. A burglar may be able to reach the handle by piercing the glass seal or drilling the frame and break it off the rosette using massive physical force, yet the spindle will not move.

Result: The window cannot be opened and the break-in attempt will have failed.

Did you realise that using a door handle is like shaking hands with thousands of strangers?

The issue of "hygiene" has been the subject of public concern for many years and is currently more topical than ever before – be it in clinics, schools, industry or leisure facilities. With the new SecuSan^® door and window handles, HOPPE has developed a solution that provides active protection in the very places where it is urgently required. SecuSan^® is a special surface that immediately suppresses microbial growth on a lasting basis. It is entirely maintenance-free and designed for long-term usage. Its high level of efficacy has been confirmed in independent laboratory and practical tests.

Antimicrobial effectiveness

SecuSan^® surfaces contain silver ions, which are embedded in a carrier system of ceramic glass. They form an active part of this material and prevent the growth of germs such as bacteria, algae and fungi.

The silver ions destroy the cell membrane of the germ. This stops respiration and nutrition of the cells, so preventing cell division. Independent tests have proved that SecuSan^® reduces microbial growth by more than 99%.

The SecuSan^® surface remains effective even when cleaned at regular intervals.

Application examples *

SecuSan^® is highly effective due to the fast action of its antimicrobial properties. Hardware with this surface is thus especially suitable for use in medical and nursing facilities, e.g. in hospitals, medical centres, pharmacies, care homes, nurseries, schools, institutes or public buildings. Wherever hygiene protection needs to act fast while remaining highly cost-effective and environmentally considerate.

Their hygienic and functional properties ensure that SecuSan^® handles are suitable for a wide range of industrial applications as well as for use in the hospitality sector: areas where they satisfy the high requirements in terms of hygiene control.

*suitable for interior applications only

Open? Tilted? Closed? The SecuSignal^® radio window handle from HOPPE can be used primarily as a sensor component in a smart home system. As such, it reports the position of a house's windows to a central control unit. For one thing, this saves lengthy checks before leaving a building but it can also improve the automatic control of heating, lighting, shading, etc.

No battery required

It is important in a smart home system that all the sensors and controls can communicate with each other. SecuSignal^® radio window handles from HOPPE work with the EnOcean radio standard. Not only does this ensure smooth communication, it also has another advantage: the EnOcean radio technology works without the need for any batteries! So the chore of changing batteries is a thing of the past: the information is transmitted maintenance-free, reliably and with no electromagnetic pollution. It can be incorporated into all smart home systems that are compatible with EnOcean.

How does SecuSignal^® work?

Commissioning a SecuSignal^® radio window handle is remarkably easy and takes just a few minutes: first the handle is set – this works differently for each system but it is described in great detail by the respective manufacturer. In principle, the SecuSignal^® radio window handle is registered, detected, then integrated into the system as one of many other components.

If a SecuSignal^® radio window handle is turned to the opening or tilting position, electrical energy is generated which is used to transmit a radio signal – to an EnOcean-compatible receiver that can process the information. A circuit board is integrated into the rosette of the handle to this end, along with a small antenna, which acts as a transmitter. The radio signal can be transmitted to a display unit that shows the user the position of the windows. If the signal is incorporated into a smart home system, the information can play a major role in improving automated processes.

A smart home system can be controlled either from a central computer unit or with mobile devices such as smartphones or tablets. This enables the position of the windows at home to be monitored remotely.

EnOcean technology

EnOcean technology is built on miniaturised energy converters, extremely energy-saving electronics and reliable radio technology. Standardised sensor profiles also allow devices from other manufacturers to communicate with each other and work together in one system. For more information, please visit www.enocean.com.   

The SecuSignal^® radio set for lift/slide doors

Lift/slide doors, too, can be monitored conveniently with the SecuSignal^® system. To this end, a special SecuSignal^® lift/slide door handle is combined with a battery-free window/door contact with a solar-powered energy cell.

Usual HOPPE quality

SecuSignal^® radio window handles from HOPPE are very easy to install. Thanks to the adjustable spindle – a patented solution to bridge different installation depths in the window profile – there is generally no problem replacing a window handle without a radio function with a SecuSignal^® radio window handle. The Secustik^® technology integrated as standard also offers basic security against break-ins. Like all HOPPE brand hardware, SecuSignal^® radio window handles are high-quality products manufactured in Europe.

The benefits at a glance

• Battery-free communication thanks to EnOcean technology
• Simple integration into smart home systems
• Central monitoring of the position of windows and French doors
• Highly reliable transmission
• Quick and easy retrofitting thanks to the adjustable spindle (spindle length 32-42 mm)
