Door Knobs And Handles Against The Flu

(8/13/2009 12:00:00 AM) It is impossible to avoid touching surfaces and objects without contaminating your hands with millions of bacteria or viruses. With the raising pandemic alert of AH1N1 around the world, Serrature Meroni has actively taken to develop two smart solutions to help us reduce the transmission of bacteria and viruses. Pigio, the push-pull handle and Combina, the anti-bacterial doorknob is the perfect solutions for offices, schools and other public places where hygiene is critical.

The Pigio is an ergonomically designed handle that is safe and easy to use at home for the family or at the office. It is also the first European lock to obtain CE EN 179 certification, allowing it to be fitted to emergency exits and its mechanism allows the door to be opened simply by pushing or pulling the handle, even with your elbow or hip.

The Combina is available in a special antibacterial version that has passed all tests in accordance to the EN ISO 846:1997 regulations. Its ergonomic mechanism works by simply holding the doorknob and pressing gently to open the door. The Combina knobset is ideal not only for homes and offices but also hospitals, retirement homes, nurseries and schools.

Two solutions for today’s and tomorrow’s world: harmonizing form and function makes the difference when you look for quality solutions.

 
Combina, last born of the PremiApri family, also available in a special antibacterial version thanks to its innovative polymer, perfectly inert from the microbiological point of view.
