GN 425.9 Stainless Steel-Folding handles
The GN 425.9 stainless steel folding handle saves a significant amount of space between its operating and home position. With the two end positions, the handle offers greater freedom when movement is restricted. To circumvent differences in installation, the GN 425.9 allows various attachment alternatives. The retaining springs integrated in the mounted part suppress vibration and the generation of noise. They also hold the folding handle in each position and convey the feeling of a secure grip. Given the superior properties of high-grade steel, the handle can be used anywhere.
