ARRONE launches Innovative Split Spindle


A new split spindle has been developed to improve the installation process of the AR915 apartment lock.

The AR227 split spindle from ARRONE, a HOPPE brand, is designed to address challenges faced while installing escape locks. A split spindle is required to allow for the independent operation of a set of lever handles on either side while maintaining escape and security functions from the inside.

Using an innovative clip-fix mechanism, the new split spindle removes the risk of overtightening which may occur with a traditional type of split spindle during assembly, as there is no need to screw the two halves together manually. This ensures the consistent independent movement of the lock follower – a critical requirement for emergency egress functionality.



Dan Savage, design engineer at HOPPE (UK), explains:
“We identified a need for an improved product to overcome the challenges of overtightening of a split follower spindle. The new split spindle solves this issue with a user-friendly clip-fix design that requires no adjustment and is, therefore, faster to install and eliminates potential errors during the installation process”.
This split spindle in combination with the ARRONE AR915 apartment lock ensures secure locking from the outside while maintaining emergency egress capabilities from the inside. This makes it an ideal solution for multi-occupancy buildings, such as apartments, hotels, and other residential or commercial environments.

The new split spindle also represents a significant advancement in the ease of installation, reducing labour time and costs while maintaining safety and reliability for end users.

Dan added:
“This innovation not only speeds up fitting – being up to five times faster to install compared with traditional spindles – but also improves the longevity and effectiveness of the lock assembly.”
The AR915 apartment lock is available for 44mm, door thicknesses, a 54mm and 64mm spindle is also available on request to suit a range of applications. The AR227has been fully tested to maintain compliance with AR915’s certifications, including CE and Certifire.

The AR227 split spindle is available for immediate order and will be supplied as standard with the AR915 apartment locks.

Andy Matthews, head of sales at HOPPE (UK), commented:
“At HOPPE, we’re committed to driving innovation in architectural ironmongery. This latest product development is a prime example of how we’re listening to customer feedback and responding with practical, efficient solutions.”
