Demand up for pull bar handles

Carl F Groupco has reported that sales of its pull bar handle ranges have doubled in the past year.

John Crittenden, MD, said: “Contemporary designs are a clear trend in doors at the moment. We see this reflected in sales of our pull bar handles, which make a strong contemporary style statement.

“We have long-standing relationships with Europe’s most innovative manufacturers. It means we have the flexibility and competence to ensure our ranges always reflect current market trends in this dynamic industry, as the increase in demand for our pull bar handle shows.”

The company offers Yale’s Elite T-Bar pull handle. Manufactured using 316 stainless steel, the handle suites perfectly with the Elite escutcheon and Elite central knob. The handle is available in two fixing versions, back-to-back fix or bolt fix. A cranked design is also available for applications where increased frame and hand clearance is required. The product comes with a 25 year anti-corrosion guarantee and a 10 year mechanical guarantee.

Also available are Hoppe Arrone pull handles. With a brushed stainless steel finish, the handles are available in inline and offset (cranked) variations and 700mm, 1,400mm or 2,000mm bar lengths. Bolt through or back-to-back fixing options are available to suit the application, with all fixing screws supplied as required to suit timber doors.

The range stocked by Carl F Groupco covers door thicknesses of 44 – 54mm in a variety of lengths to suit the desired look. The handles suite with key wind up or automatic door locks such as the Fuhr 833 or Yale AutoEngage.
