Kirkpatrick Ring Pull On Rectangular Backplate - 5" - Black Antique

Description

The Kirkpatrick 717 Ring Pull Handle is a robust and classic piece of traditional ironmongery, designed to provide a secure and tactile grip for external gates and heavy interior doors. Featuring a 3-inch circular ring pull mounted on a sturdy rectangular backplate, this handle offers a timeless "Olde English" aesthetic. It is an ideal choice for period property restorations, rustic barn conversions, and country cottage doors where functional strength and authentic architectural detail are required.

Hand-forged in the heart of the UK at Kirkpatrick’s historic Walsall foundry, each 717 ring pull is cast from genuine malleable iron. Kirkpatrick has been a leader in high-quality ironmongery since 1855, utilizing time-honoured foundry techniques to ensure superior tensile strength and impact resistance. Unlike mass-produced cast iron, malleable iron is exceptionally durable and will not become brittle over time. The hardware is rust-proofed and finished with two coats of black paint, resulting in a durable, textured patina that matures beautifully while withstanding the rigours of external use.
