Identifying the Right Door Handle
Types of Door Handles
Door handles come in a range of different styles to suit your every need, so identifying what type you need is always tricky.
Latch Door Handles
Latch handles are the easiest to identify. These are usually found on internal doors where there is no need for locking. They are available on a rose or on a backplate, as a lever or a knob, and require a mortice latch to operate.
Lock Door Handles
Lock Handles are usually used where a door is required to be locked, but with the flexibility of being able to use it as a normal functioning latch door. They are available on a backplate, with either a lever or knob to operate. This can be suitable for internal or external doors, and requires a mortice lever sashlock to acquire the full functionality of the handles. The handles available are for UK standard sashlocks, if anything else is required please enquire.
Euro Lock Door Handles
Euro-Lock Handles are used in a similar way to Lock Handles, but with the used of a different type of lock. The type of lock required is a Euro Cylinder Sash Lock and operates with a Euro Cylinder barrel via use of a thumb turn attachment or a key. Euro lock handles are available is different sizes, for different uses. Any Euro Lock Handles stating 47.5mm centres are for UK standard Euro Sashlocks, usually internal doors. Any Euro Lock handles stating over 47.5mm (e.g. 92mm Centres) are to be used with Multipoint Locks, usually for external doors, where the handles are usually unsprung and can be lifted upward for upward locking.
