Rosso Tecnica is a new and exclusive collection of European inspired designer levers by Zoo Hardware Ltd.  

Manufactured from Grade 304 stainless steel selected for its high-corrosion resistance, durability and hardness properties, this range has been specifically designed to perform exceptionally in both domestic and commercial applications. Where applicable the range is also approved for use on Fire resistant door sets meeting the requirements of BS EN 1634-1 to be suitable for fire and smoke door assemblies.     

 Taking inspiration from contemporary trends towards minimalism and simplicity, Zoo identified a need for a new range of high performance, design-led furniture, with hard-wearing decorative finishes; powder coated matt black, PVD satin brass and PVD satin bronze to stand up to today’s requirements for hardware. The Rosso Tecnica range delivers high-quality door furniture with a stunning aesthetic appeal to suit any modern interior.     

 With a broad range of lever styles to suit even the most discerning tastes, from the industrially styled ‘Orta’ lever to the subtle curves of the ‘Como’, each design has been meticulously created to be both ergonomically and aesthetically pleasing, whilst meeting the technical requirements of the applicable BS EN standards. Rosso Tecnica has been designed and produced using a combination of both solid cast components and tubular components, where quality is the main consideration with an efficiency of material use to maintain cost effectiveness. This gives the range affordability whilst maintaining an exceptional, quality look and feel, and if your specification requires consideration around The Equality Act, the Maggiore Lever is a 19mm diameter, return to door lever that meets the dimensional requirements of BS8300 and Approved Document M of the building regulations.  

The introduction of a newly engineered ‘Squircle’ rose, a rounded square known in mathematical terms as a ‘superellipse’, allows the complete customisation of both the levers and accessories to have a completely different look and feel from the standard round rose option. As well as being aesthetically pleasing, the Squircle rose has been designed for easy installation on the existing sub-rose, making it a simple and cost-effective solution for creating a modern and fashionable environment.   

Product is supplied with both wood screw fixing and bolt through fixings and a far more user friendly allen key for installation of the grub screws that are situated on the underside of the lever for improved aesthetics. All levers are supplied on a sprung rose configuration for improved operation and longevity.       

It’s not just about the levers either, Rosso Tecnica is a fully suited range, with complementary products including, hinges, door closers, flush bolts and more, being offered in each of the three hard-wearing finishes to create the perfect aesthetic for your project, whether it’s a residential dwelling or commercial office space.     

One final thing to note, as part of Zoo Hardware’s ongoing commitment to reduce their impact on the environment, the Rosso Tecnica range is supplied without any plastic / polybag packaging allowing users to easily recycle all of the waste packaging.
