makes them recognisable as such – and thus as the fulfilment of a promise of quality to everyone who uses our handles.
Now an even greater selection: handles of the contemporary Los Angeles series are now also available in aluminium. The use of this versatile material opens up new opportunities for finishing, as anodising or powder coatings can be applied to give aluminium an ample range of finishes – glossy, matt finishes or even just finishes in different colours.
With powder coating, the powdered paint is applied to the aluminium surface by means of an electrostatic process. It is then heated to a high temperature, causing the paint particles to melt to a film of paint.
The anodising process specifically activates a process that links the material with oxygen. This creates a film that protects the handle against external influences, such as hand perspiration, humidity and light mechanical operational strain. This also prevents the handle from corroding if the finish is scratched by items including rings or a key.
Minimalist Design with an Ample Range of Colours
Los Angeles impresses with its sleek and clear-cut design. Its characteristic feature is the straight handle with an angular end that contrasts with the round handle neck. The handle neck of the Los Angeles series is slightly shorter than that of other series. As a result, the handles are positioned closer to the door leaf or window profile – thus enhancing the overall minimalist impression, allowing the series to integrate particularly well into minimalist interior designs.
Aluminium variants of the Los Angeles series are therefore perfect for anyone seeking a contemporary shape along with an ample range of colour options. Check out our product catalogue for the available finishes – from glossy silver to various stainless steel finishes and on-trend black matt finishes.
The series' handles not only look good, they also come with further distinguishing qualities:
Burglary-Resistant Technology Ensures Greater Security at Windows
Window handles are equipped with HOPPE Secustik technology, a locking mechanism providing integrated, basic security. This makes it more difficult for burglars to move the window fitting from the outside. Patented VarioFit technology ensures that the spindle position can be steplessly adjusted to the depth of the window profile. Consequently, it can be used to compensate for differences in installation depth range of up to 10 mm.
Fitting the door handles is a breeze thanks to the Quick-Fit feature – handles are securely fixed in place in one single step. Quick-FitPlus can also be used to quickly and easily install the corresponding handle roses and escutcheons in just a few simple steps – with no need for screws.
By the way: aluminium is fully recyclable – an important contribution to greater sustainability in handling resources.

Secure and Individual – SecuSelect Window Handles from HOPPE
The police recommend that a burglary-resistant window handle must “withstand a force of 100 Nm” – this means that a perpetrator will have to use a great deal of force to overcome the locking mechanism and turn the handle forcibly. The chances that a window can be opened in this way are already quite low in this case – they are even lower with a HOPPE window handle with SecuSelect® and Secu100® + Secustik®.
