makes them recognisable as such – and thus as the fulfilment of a promise of quality to everyone who uses our handles.
Launched in 2005, the Atlanta handle is one of HOPPE (UK’s) longest standing and best-selling products. Designed with a blend of security, style, and user comfort, it has become a trusted choice for installers and end-users alike.
Named after a city with one of the world’s busiest international airports (as many HOPPE handles are), Atlanta is more than just a name. It's a symbol of global standards and international appeal.
The Atlanta handle’s enduring popularity stems from its:
- Sleek aesthetic, available in a wide range of finishes including polished chrome, silver effect, matt black, traffic white, and gold effect.
- Exceptional ergonomics, including unique finger grips and lever design.
- Mechanical precision, ensured by a maintenance-free slide bearing and HOPPE Quick-Fit connection that reduces installation time by up to 75%.
- Resista surface technology, especially valuable in coastal or exposed environments.
Security at the Core with SBD
Secured by Design (SBD) is a police-backed initiative that sets stringent security standards for building products in the UK. HOPPE (UK)’s renewed membership in the scheme affirms its unwavering commitment to delivering high-security solutions.
Being a member of Secured by Design signifies HOPPE (UK)’s ability to meet SBD’s high-security requirements and demonstrates its dedication to driving higher manufacturing standards within the door hardware industry.
Meeting the Demands of the TS007 Standard
The Atlanta security handle is fully accredited to meet the demands of TS007 – a vital security benchmark developed in conjunction with SBD, the Door Hardware Federation (DHF), and the Glass and Glazing Federation (GGF).
The TS007 standard evaluates the resistance of door hardware against common attack methods such as snapping, drilling, and bumping. It uses a star rating system, where the Atlanta handle proudly holds a 2-star rating, certified under CertiSecure. When paired with a 1-star cylinder, this creates a complete 3-star solution, fulfilling the requirements of Approved Document Q of the UK Building Regulations.
Having the TS007 standard allows for the handle to be used on a PAS 24 door set test, demonstrating its exceptional resilience under attack scenarios.
The Benchmark for Security, Quality, and Design
The story of the Atlanta handle is not just about selling many units. It's about setting and maintaining a benchmark in quality and security. From its innovative features and ease of installation to its compliance with the most demanding UK standards, the Atlanta embodies everything HOPPE stands for: “Handle of Excellence.”
With continued recognition from Secured by Design, alignment with TS007 standards, and sustained industry partnerships, HOPPE (UK) remains a trusted name in hardware, proving that security, style, and simplicity can indeed go hand in hand.
In an age where both homeowners and commercial developers are increasingly security-conscious, the HOPPE Atlanta handle represents more than just door hardware. Standing as a symbol of trusted engineering, enduring quality, and modern design, whether you're specifying for a new development or retrofitting an existing property.
