THE door industry journal summer 2025 95 Doorsets, Fire Doors, Safety & Security Also online at: www.dijonline.co.uk ARRONE TS 008 tested letterplate receives Certifire mark The TS008 tested letterplate from ARRONE, a HOPPE Group brand, helps protect homeowners from ‘letterbox fishing’ without compromising on sleek design and functionality. Now, when fitted with the associated ARRONE intumescent kit the AR708HS is supported by Certifire certification for use on supported 30 and 60 minute timber doors. The Warringtonfire Certifire certification scheme covers passive fire protection products such as door hardware on fire doors. This includes other fire protection systems that work to contain fire, heat, and smoke, with the aim of limiting fire spread. Holding the Certifire mark of approval provides customers and end-users alike with confidence that the product has been fully tested by a reputable thirdparty company and that it will perform as it should in the event of a fire. These principles are of paramount importance to HOPPE with dedicated technical managers overseeing the testing and certification process of products. The AR708HS TS 008:2022 tested letterplate features an anti-theft steel guard solution with a slimline cover on the inside door that offers a more discreet finish. With a projection of just 21mm, the cover provides non-restrictive door opening, even when the door is fully opened. The non-intrusive design has an adjustable stepped internal sleeve which prevents the internal flap of the letterplate from being fully opened. This, combined with steel side guard plates, offers protection against letterbox fishing and letterbox manipulation, while still allowing post to pass freely. The AR708HS letterplate has been tested to TS 008:2022; the latest technical specification for enhanced security and general requirements applicable to letterplate assemblies and slide through letter boxes. It offers a means of assessing how products perform against opportunist attacks, and all new doors fitted with a letterplate must pass this standard to be PAS 24 and Document Q compliant. www.hoppe.co.uk
