Dear Reader and Handle Enthusiast,It is with pleasure – and not alittle pride – that we are nowpresenting you with the newFSB Manual for 2009|10. We Eastern Westphalians areknown for our modesty and yetwe would at least like to takethis opportunity (and this oneonly) to urge you with quite abit of self-belief to make theFSB Manual your Number Onechoice for door and windowhardware, project constructionventures, barrier-free grab systems or electronic accesscontrol – i.e. for anything re-motely connected to fitting yourown or other people’s four wallsout with architectural hardware.The principal function of thisManual, after all, is to servearchitects, building planners,fabricators, trade stockists andhouse builders alike as a soundand exhaustive aid to planningthat leaves no wish unfulfilled.But perhaps you also know FSBas an enterprise that addressesitself to things that do not atfirst sight appear to have muchin common with mere products:“lived” corporate culture, re-source-conscious production,well-conceived product design,socially responsible action –for us, far from being just finewords, these have always beenpart and parcel of our day-to-day activities and of how wesee ourselves. They are also allvital for active environmentalprotection. FSB was one of thefirst companies in Germany tohave its endeavours certificated.We are aware of our ecologicalresponsibility in the naturalcourse of things. This relates tothe choice of materials worked,the design of manufacturingprocesses and dealings withinherited liabilities. And if there

is one thing we are clear aboutas an SME at a time whenglobalisation is on everybody’slips, it is this: successful busi-ness activity is indeed compat-ible with being regionally rootedand opting for “high-wageeconomy” Germany.FSB products have friends allover the world. The “Made inGermany” tag is a byword bothat home and abroad for time-less design, function-drivenengineering, durability andsustainability, attributes thatcannot be reconciled with ar-bitrariness, any focus on short-term profit or opportunism.FSB door and window fittingsare an investment in the future– if that's what you're after.FSB products live longer thanwe could theoretically care for.Their visuals are still spot-onafter decades and decades too.We offer you quality to getherwith well-conceived system so-lutions. From an aestheticpoint of view, our products arethe authentic upshot of workwith celebrated internationalarchitects and designers. Weadditionally focus our attentionon the materials used and theenduring quality of our finishes,which are carefully coordinatedthroughout the range. You canbe just as sure, moreover, thatwe are technically on the ball.Besides an innovative electronicaccess control system andsome very engaging flush as-sembly variants of our classicfittings, we also wish at thisjuncture to draw your attentionto our barrier-free ErgoSystem.We have drawn on experiencegained in the sphere of handleculture to offer the elderly – oranyone aspiring to greatercomfort in the bathroom and

home – a well thought-outrange of grabs and accessoriesfor barrier-free living. It goeswithout saying that we likewisekeep up with trends in facadeconstruction that are leadingto the use of windows anddoors with a high degree ofthermal insulation or of large-format glass components. Thehigh level of investment in-volved is reason enough to de-mand hardware that does itsjob lastingly and reliably aswell as being technically on apar with the systems it operateswith. It is only if solutions arearrived at under these provisosthat are also fittingly attractive,however, that our quality aspi-rations are met. Test us!

Classics for the modern age –

the FSB Bronze Collection

With the appearance of its2008|09 Manual, FSB isadding another classic doorhandle design (FSB 1102) toits Bronze Collection as well as a complete range of fittingsand matching accessories formain-entrance doors. The col-lection embraces both classicand modern handle designs ofround and oval cross-section,DIY handle solutions from ourht kits, security roses, letter-plates, intercom and bell-pushplates and the now almostlegendary house numbers afterOtl Aicher. The relevant product overviewis to be found on pages 40and 41.

Flush pulls – and other

flat product ideas

The flush furniture with heavy-duty bearings for door thick-nesses of 45 mm upwards thatwe presented in our last GermanManual was extremely well-re-ceived by the market. The FSBDevelopment Dept respondedby going into retreat and dulycoming up with a raft of inno-vations that we would like topresent for the first time in thepresent Manual:

– flush roses with standardbearings for door thicknessesof from 38 - 44 mm (cf. page 146)

– recessed pulls in rectangu-lar/square and oval/rounddesigns with open and dis-creetly closed handle recesses(cf. pages 234ff.)

– armoured roses for main-en-trance doors to DIN 1906 S2in a flush finish (cf. pages448 and 449)

– window handles with shallowroses - suppliable for allmodels in the FSB range (cf. page 195)

Design + Security

Generation 2008

The proven anti-bandit creden-tials of the “Design + Security”range FSB introduced in the1990s successfully demon-strated how a modular securityhardware concept can meetvarying design notions and security requirements in equalmeasure. With our new securityhardware models FSB 7360and 7361 we are literallycloaking our proven securitytechnology in a completely new,self-standing design concept:adopting a radically purist approach to design, FSB’s in-house designer Hartmut Weiseintroduces a security hardwaredesign in the present Manualthat departs radically from re-ceived formal concepts: usingstainless steel 5 mm thick hehas created a matter-of-factsculpture of folded surfacesthat does nothing whatsoeverto accommodate its intendeddoor. The design is only avail-able with an S4 security ratingand, besides a classic version,optionally comes with an inte-grated electronics package inthe form of a capacitive door-bell sensor plus nameplateand radio-operated door-bellmodule and a harmonised ra-dio gong on the inside. Pleaseconsult pages 430ff for moreon our security hardwaresculptures.

ErgoSystem – new departures

for life in old age

Our multi-award-winningErgoSystem has established itself as the Number One choicein recent years where barrier-free products for residentialand sanitary applications areconcerned. The handicappedand elderly appreciate thecomprehensiveness of a sys-tem that provides an optimummeans of self-help without dis-pensing with design of the highest order. Its support rails,grabs and bathroom accessoriesare also distinctive from an ergonomics point of view: thediagonal-oval sectioning of therails and handles echoes thehuman anatomy and reducesthe force required to take holdof them. Rounding off the sys-tem are our barrier-free leverhandles, XXL-format handlesand elegant METRIC bathroomaccessories. In the presentManual we are also launchingnew products that comple-ment the range in a formallyharmonious and functionallyconsistent manner. From walk-ing aid holder through shower-head bracket for single-handedoperation to flexible hangingseat: the new products areshown together with the wholefamiliar range on pages 474onwards.

Compact glass door furniture

by Christoph Ingenhoven

Glass doors are a contemporarymeans of expression in modernarchitecture. They create morelight, link up spaces and areconducive to a great sense ofroominess. The innate trans-parency of glass doors meansthat great care needs to betaken when designing hard-ware for them, however. It isthe lock, handles and hinges,after all, that can really turn aglass door into a design factor.Together with the architectChristoph Ingenhoven, we havenow developed a slender rec-tangular item of furniture forglass doors whose unfussy elegance sets perceptible ac-cents in a space. The surfaceterminates flush with any DINframe to visually unify the two.The glass door’s transparencyis underscored by the tight dimensions of the lock cover,which is some 10 % smallerthan in standard glass doorfurniture. Transparency-driveninformation is to be found onpages 325ff.

Satisfactory doesn’t satisfy us

Competent product solutionsought to be a matter of coursefor a highly evolved society, asshould equally reliable func-tioning over a product’s full lifecycle. Doors accompany ourlives for a great many years afterall. That’s reason enough toscrutinise the material, design,engineering but also, crucially,the durability of a door in itsentirety. Durability equates withcost-effectiveness, meaningthat dearer can be cheaper inthe long run. That’s because,as well as procurement costs,it is also necessary to bear inmind all outgoings over a pro -duct’s anticipated life cycle –repairs, servicing and any replacement included. Thatholds particularly true for doorssubject to constant heavy-dutyoperation – open/shut, open/shut, open/shut - for manydecades.

DuoHandles/HandleDuos

Dissimilar couples by FSB

We have been busying ourminds with the door handle –a seemingly mundane com-mon-or-garden product – forwell over a century now. Thishas given rise at pleasantly ir-regular intervals to books andbrochures, workshops and ex-hibitions, all driven by the cre-ative tension existing betweenhand and handle. Honouringthe tradition of the now leg-endary “Door Handle Work -shop in Brakel”, in 2006 weinvited the new design elite towrap their brains round thehandle’s innate bilateralism.Handles on either side of a doordo not, after all, necessarilyhave to be of identical design.Thirty-two designers and archi-tects then set to work – as duos of course. Married cou-ples, unmarried couples, officepartners and other twosomesproceeded to develop “duohandles” and “handle duos” ofa surprising breadth: pairingsmarked by contrast and otherson common ground, “male”and “female” handles, “soft”organic forms and “hard” hi-tech models, sculptural worksof art and straightforwardmeans of leverage. We havenow chosen five handle duosfor you and admitted them toseries production. The inspirational outcome canbe in spected and conceptuallyembraced on pages 13ff.

In its capacity as an interna-tional project brand and inkeeping with the approach ithas to quality in any case, FSBis therefore adding Class 3and 5 mortise locks and Class3 panel locks to its productrange with publication of thepresent Manual, specificallywith a view to providing its in-ternational market partners co-ordinated entire solutionfrom a single source.

You will find the FSB lockrange inclusive of strike platesand europrofile cylinders byWinkhaus on pages 531ff.

Seldom has the inclusion ofstandards in Germany’sBuilding Rules List B/Part 1triggered such controversy asin the case of these two stan-dards. They have both indi-sputably come through theproof-of-conformance proce-dure and are thus valid. It isalso official, however, that the-re is no reference in buildinglegislation to EN 179 and EN1125 being bindingly applica-ble despite the model andspecial building regulations es-sentially dictating that doorson escape routes be easy toopen from the inside acrosstheir full width, if need be withthe aid of a pull handle. DINEN 179 governs the use ofand requirements for emer-gency exit devices involving le-ver handles and push pads.Hardware combinations withinthe meaning of EN 179 are tobe rated as products with abearing on building supervi-sion functions to be includedin Building Rules List B andhaving the requisite EU or CEconformance kitemark. Theycomprise a lock, handle hard-ware and striking plate and arerequired to have been testedand certified as a unit. To spa-re your having to rack yourmind over such arcane mat-ters, however, and to make su-re you’re always on the rightside of the fence, FSB sup-plies what must be the mostcomprehensive range of hard-ware in the sector in this re-spect.

1DIN EN 1125

Under this standard, panicdoor devices (= lock + strikingplate + push bar) are to be fitted wherever high levels ofpublic traffic are likely and un-familiarity with the environsmay lead to panic arising.Here, too, exact and bindingimplementations of the provi-sions set forth in EN 1125 ha-ve been the subject of heateddebate. We are very much ofthe opinion that the ultimatedecision as to where panic

push-bar furniture is to be fit-ted should lie with the archi-tect/planner – in liaison withthe competent building autho-rity, of course. Panic fitting combinations arelikewise required to be testedand certified as functionalunits under the terms of thestandard. Accordingly, the re-gulatory framework for buildingventures as set out above like-wise applies to hardware sy-stems governed by EN 1125.A panic device is required tobe designed in such a manner

that it immediately releasesthe door if pressure is appliedto any point on the push baron the inside of the door in aline leading to an emergencyexit. The force applied mustbe such that children and mo-bility impaired persons can di-sengage the lockingmechanisms in place too. FSBhas joined forces with lockmakers Winkhaus, Wilka andBMH to test and certify a va-riety of panic push-bar fittings– which can be found on pages 313-322.

We will gladly send you the re-levant test certificates for thehardware combinations gover-ned by EN 179 and EN 1125if so requested.

DIN EN 1906

DIN EN 1906 lays down requi-rements and test proceduresfor lever handles and door-knobs. The utility value or ra-ting of hardware is always tobe arrived at using the classifi-cation key specified.Compliance with DIN EN 1906is only achieved on the basisof the totality of testing criteriaand the findings they give riseto. All FSB products consider-ably exceed the values prescri-bed in this standard.

Incidentally: FSB has subjec-ted the issue of standardisa-tion to some thorough-goingscrutiny of its own: please re-quest our brochure entitled“FSB on the subject of stan-dards: DIN EN – Quality to getto grips with”. The adjacent di-agrams, which graphically illu-strate the standing of FSB’sown quality standards, are alsotaken from this booklet.

Lever handle sets for fire and

smoke control doors

The standard currently in force(December 1997) lays downthe requirements and testingprocedures for “fire safety” fit-tings. These are regulated buil-ding products which arein clu ded in Germany’s Buil dingRules List A under serial No.6.17 and whose fitness forfunction is to be proved bymeans of a certificate of accor-dance (ÜZ) issued by a recog-nised certification body and ofa general building supervisiontest certificate (P). The Ü kite-mark indicates that fitness forfunction has been proved andis enclosed with every set of fi-re safety hardware.

FSB has the largest range ofits kind on the market, oneembracing more than 50 leverhandle models in combinationwith roses as well as short,standard and broad backpla-tes, all certified and constantlymonitored by the MaterialsTesting Laboratory (MPA) inDortmund.

FSB’s stance on colour

in architecture

Anyone thinking about hand-

les and door pulls by FSB and

our relationship to colour is

bound to be drawn to the co-

lour shades in our hardware

finishes, and with good rea-

son too. Be it through the sil-

very sheen of stainless steel,

the satin shimmer of AluGrey,

the patina that comes with

bronze or the golden gleam

of brass, our door handles

set accents in architecture in

terms of both their form and

colour or else they modestly

merge with their surroun-

dings. The colours of our pro-

ducts were an inspiration to

us in the 1980s as we evol-

ved our corporate design – va-

rious shades of grey became

the “colour” of our choice.

Compared with our previous

century in business, the new

identity is a truly humble one

and made us something of

a loner amongst our rivals.

Since then, though, many a

copycat in the trade has don-

ned our grey mantle for them-

selves. Reason enough for us

to revive an idea that once

came to our companion of

many years, Otl Aicher, but

had since been forgotten.

Things are going to become a

bit more colourful at FSB in

future. Just exactly what we

have in mind can be gleaned

from the coloured pages bet-

ween the various sections in

this Manual.
