FAQs
What does 'Secustik' protection mean?
Secustik is Hoppe's patented system that provides enhanced burglary protection. It features a unique mechanism that prevents the handle from being turned from the outside when the window is locked, and it emits an audible click (at 45 degrees) to confirm secure locking.
What is the size of the square pin?
The square pin measures 7 mm x 32-42 mm, which is a standard size compatible with many window types.
How do I clean the white handle?
Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the handle. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could scratch or discolor the white finish.
Can I install this handle myself?
Yes, installation is generally straightforward and can be done with basic tools. Ensure you follow the setup instructions carefully.
Does the audible click indicate different lock statuses?
The audible click primarily confirms that the window is securely locked by indicating the engaging of the locking mechanism at the 45-degree point.
What is the screening angle?
The screening angle for this handle is 45 degrees, which is the point at which the Secustik mechanism audibly confirms the lock is engaged.
Is this handle suitable for all types of windows?
It is designed for standard windows with a compatible spindle size (7 x 32-42 mm). Compatibility should be checked against your existing window hardware.
Troubleshooting
Handle is stiff or difficult to turn
Ensure the square pin is correctly aligned and fully inserted into the window mechanism. Check for any obstructions in the mechanism. If the issue persists, the window's locking mechanism may require adjustment or lubrication.
Audible click is not working
Verify that the handle is being turned through the full locking range (approximately 45 degrees). If the mechanism seems damaged, contact a professional for inspection.
Screws do not align or tighten properly
Confirm that you are using the correct mounting screws for your window frame and that the handle is properly seated against the frame. Ensure the square pin is centered within the mechanism.
