Secustik® – audible security for window handles

About two-thirds of all burglars break into properties through windows or balcony doors. Their methods are often the same, and are amazingly simple: The window is levered out or the window fitting is pushed so far from the outside until it is moved to the unlocked position; providing free access to the property.

The Secu 100® and Secu 100®+Secustik® window handles from Hoppe provide security for tilted windows. The Secustik® standard window handle is opened exactly like a handle without the Secustik® function when the window is tilted.

"Secustik®" must be understood in the literal sense: The new "security" technology is activated "acoustically". Security function active! The clearly audible click when it is operated sounds like the combination lock of a safe, and indicates: Security function active!

This is how it works

The heart of the security technology is a patented blocking mechanism: A coupling element between the handle and the square spindle allows the window handle to be operated normally from the inside.

However, it locks the handle as soon as anyone attempts to manipulate the handle from the outside via the fitting.

If a break-in is attempted, the safety bolts 1 are pushed into the recesses in the housing 2 by a second coupling element 3.		In this position the safety bolts 1 effectively prevent the window handle from being turned from the outside. The window handle locks and prevents the break-in attempt.

A click more security

You can hear how your security increases with each turn when the handle is moved from the locking position to the tilted position. Inside the window handle, this means:

When the window handle is turned, the sprung safety bolts 1 engage in special recesses in the housing 2 with precision clicking – the typical Secustik® noise is heard.		During the turning movement, the safety bolts 1 are moved into the other recesses 2 by the coupling element 3, where they audibly engage again.
