Choosing polished nickel and satin nickel door handles
Polished nickel and satin nickel door handles are a versatile choice for interiors where you want a smart metal finish with a softer warmth than chrome. Polished nickel gives a brighter reflective look, while satin nickel has a smoother brushed appearance that works well in busy homes, offices, hotels and commercial interiors.
Door handles on backplate are available in latch, lock, bathroom and euro profile versions. Latch handles are commonly used with tubular latches for standard internal doors. Lock handles are paired with mortice sash locks and latches for key locking. Bathroom handles work with bathroom locks or turn and release fittings, while euro profile handles are used with euro cylinder locks.
Before ordering, check the backplate size, lever length, projection, fixing centres, door thickness and the lock or latch centres. If you are replacing existing handles, choosing a similar backplate size can help cover old screw holes, marks or paint lines. Also check whether you need a plain latch backplate, a keyhole backplate, a bathroom backplate or a euro profile backplate to suit the door function.
Nickel finishes coordinate well with door hinges, keyhole covers and escutcheons, finger plates, door stops, door pull handles and flush door handles. They work especially well with white doors, grey interiors, navy walls, green rooms, natural timber, marble, glass, chrome, stainless steel and modern bathroom fittings.
