New Hoppe handle selection guide

New easy-to-use guide from HOPPE (UK) has been produced to help homeowners overcome barriers to DIY replacement of faulty or outdated PVC-U door handles.

The company developed the handle selection guide, which is available to all HOPPE (UK) stockists, to give homeowners basic assistance in measuring up their existing door handle with a view to replacement.

Crucially, the guide informs consumers about the need to consider the measurement between screw centres on the two common backplate types, and advises on factors including the 92mm lever to keyhole measurement and enhanced security.

Michelle Wilkinson, National Account Manager, HOPPE Architectural and Retail Division says, "Unlike many elements and features around their home, homeowners perhaps lack the confidence to change the handles on their PVC-U doors unless they really have to.

However, armed with the right knowledge of where to begin, we believe there is great potential for consumers to take on this task themselves and seek authoritative assistance from retailers and builders merchants.

"The development of this simple new consumer guide demonstrates our commitment to helping our stockists grow their business".

As Europe's largest door handle manufacturer, HOPPE (UK) has a wealth of knowledge and experience to offer architectural ironmongers and their customers.

HOPPE (UK) offers a handle for every PVC-U door multipoint locking system used in the UK market in a range of materials and styles, including its Designer Range which is perfect for doors with contemporary styling.
