A Guide To Door Handles

There are three types of handles available:

     * LEVER ON ROSE
     * MORTICE KNOBS
     * LEVER ON BACKPLATE

Lever on rose furniture is more contemporary, it can be used alone if
only required to operate a latch.

If used on a door with a lock and a latch then an escutcheon (key hole
cover) or turn and release will also be required.

Obviously care needs to be taken when selecting these additional items
to ensure that the style and finish match those of selected handles.

Mortice knobs are becoming more popular, much the same as lever on rose
furniture, you will also require an escutcheon or turn and release if
used with a sash lock.

It is important to bear in mind when choosing mortice furniture, that
it is more difficult to operate a door knob than a lever that could be
operated with an elbow if your hands are full.

It is also important to use a latch or lock with a backset of at least
80mm, to ensure enough clearance from the door frame.

Lever on backplate are more traditional with three styles of lever.

     * Lever latch (blank backplate)
     * Lever lock (with keyhole)
     * Bath set (with built in turn & release)

Lever latch is used on most internal doors which you do not wish to lock
Lever lock has a key hole cut out in the backplate and is used with a
sash lock
Bath sets have a turn and release mechanism built into the backplate
and are used with a bathroom lock.
