Hello There, I have our house equipped with different handles, on the ground it should appropriately be more solid to WK2 windows. Lt. ABUS have tested the FG300 with 100Nm (info by mail request) and in fact the design is far more stable than the designed model FG200. Meanwhile, the handles of the FG300 also no cap and are "of a piece". But the here criticized partly visible hole openings of the fasteners also serve to receive the locking "Bolt" (not "pin") and are therefore unavoidable. Other handles (also FG200) have here a much thinner "pen", the course can be better integrated. The processing of the handle is both very good (not like the HOPPE "Atlanta", which had all paint defects and partly dents), which is even more massive FG200. When FG300 the Olive is massive, the FG200 this is made of plastic and only the metal cover (which, unfortunately, when you press the handle slightly clatters and therefore "cheap" acts and also not flush). When HOPPE handle both parts even plastic. Visually, the FG300 are nice to look at in my opinion because the olive is covered. Unfortunately, "fluppt" the castle not so loose from the grip when releasing but perhaps are advancing with the times. Since the lock of the structure is different, you can not get alike FG200 and FG300. Something impractical is the FG300 that the key bit must be inserted facing upwards, with other castles it does not matter because the beard is 2-sided. Presumably, the castle is a bit harder to crack but I do not think anyway that make burglars the trouble to open the lock (this one would have conveniently be already in the object). Unlike the FG200 there are 2 keys per handle.
Addendum: The fiddly key is to be used in everyday life very annoying because I praise the locks handles FG200 or HOPPE. Maybe, but that the lock harder to break is what burglars want to make the effort, such a castle (perhaps from inside) to open with a tool?
