This is why the location has seen an ever growing number of customer groups make use of the modern training facilities in Velbert. Roto Inside spoke with the guests from Aluprof about their expectations and experiences. Rafal Altheim, general manager of Aluprof Germany briefly sums it up: “We travelled to Velbert to get a chance to take another sober look through Roto’s entire product range.” He and his colleagues also used the opportunity to hold discussions with Roto’s Aluprof employ- ees on how they could improve cooperation between the two companies in the future.

He was also satisfied: “My expectations regarding the train- ing were entirely fulfilled; the rooms in Velbert are fantastic and entirely functional ...” However, the trainers there could do with even more tools, notes Frank König critically, despite also giving the Velbert training team ‘good marks’: “The showroom allowed us to see all the products in action. The visit itself answered a number of questions and included a tour of the production area. I admit that I wanted to know precisely how much Roto produced internally and what they purchase, as well as how quality manage- ment works at Roto ... after visiting Velbert you can see that Roto’s production has enormous manufacturing intensity and that it deserves our trust.” The Roto corporate culture is also notice- able for visitors to Velbert, reports Frank König: “You can feel the very collegial atmosphere everywhere – for me this is a clear reason for the good quality of Roto’s products.” Aluminium balcony, terrace and office doors are in demand worldwide.

High-quality design The Roto Safe H AL fits seamlessly into the door’s aluminium profile. The brushed stainless-steel faceplate sets new aesthetic standards with its modern, high-quality design. It suits the profile perfectly and fully covers the coupling points. Another design highlight: the two rounded, aesthetically formed faceplate end caps. Tested European quality As usual, this Roto lock innovation stands for high functionality and durability – Roto Safe H AL improves the convenience, security and resilience of alu- minium doors. The lock meets DIN EN 12209, 1191 and 12400 standards and has successfully passed the CE testing. The depth of the latch and bolt (20 mm latch length) ensures that the lock provides a high level of burglar-resistant security, while the installed “whisper-quiet latch” means that the door closes extremely quietly. Intense practical testing by system producers and fabricators have also identi- fied the strengths of the Roto Safe H AL, especially during installation: No jigs or special-purpose tools are required for installation. Solid supportive pin versions are used for the easy and robust coupling of the pushrods and connecting rods. A large tolerance range facilitates installation as well as the fact that the latch can be converted from right to left at the front of the faceplate after installation. && More information on the Roto Safe H AL basic lock and the Roto door product range can be found here: www.roto-frank.com/en/ roto-safe-h-al The Roto Safe H AL lever-operated basic lock is the perfect solution for aluminium doors up to 120 kilograms and is also characterised by its high- quality design.
