FSB supplies a coordinated range of hardware solutions echoing the architectural trend towards flush integration of technical/functional items.

Seamlessly dovetailing with this programme are its new flush armoured roses for main entrance doors: models FSB 7396 1010 with securing disc and FSB 7396 2010 with perforation for cylinder plug. The long-established Brakel enterprise has already defined new standards from a design and a technical/functional point of view with its existing flush hardware: suppliable with AGL® or FS bearings and in all FSB materials (Aluminium, AluGrey®, Stainless Steel, Brass and Bronze), this hardware has become the Number One choice for design-conscious architects and house builders. Our flush armoured roses are wholly imbued with the same formal concept, taking it forward to the main entrance door in fact.
 
Forming the basis for this innovation is FSB’s DIN EN 1906 S2-approved armoured rose 7395, to which a cylindrical cover has been added. The difference between models 7396 1010 and 7396 2010 is not confined to the securing disc. The two variants make differing demands of the door to be worked, moreover. Whereas the former requires a distance from the lock centre to the outer edge of the door of at least 33.5 mm, FSB 7396 2010 contents itself with just 29 mm. The lower dimension creates greater tolerances in cases involving awkward dimensional configurations as regards door thickness and lock position. Offsetting cylinder projections or lower door thicknesses within a range of +/- 4.5 mm is no trouble, therefore.
 
Flush fixing, which makes correspondingly exacting demands of the door being worked, is not the only way of deploying the 7396 series to impressive effect, however: there is also the classic option of “surface mounting” the fitting and, as a result, just as effectively harnessing the elementally geometrical form of the armoured rose’s cylindrical cover.

Similarly, the client can dispense with inward flush fixing so as to harmonise the rose with classic hardware on other room doors. These options and a wide variety of available materials open up the greatest possible degree of flexibility on design and price to fabricators seeking to fulfil bespoke customer aspirations.
