Door Pull Handles

About

Door pull handles buying guide A door pull handle is a fixed grip that you pull to open a door. It has no latch and no lock of its own, so it is paired with a separate lock when the door needs to be secured. Pull handles suit entry doors, glass and aluminium doors, pivot doors and sliding doors, and they give a front door a large, simple shape. This collection holds back-to-back pull handles in straight and offset styles, from 300mm to 1800mm, in stainless steel and solid brass, with lock kits and complete entrance sets.

The offset also helps on aluminium joinery and on narrow stiles, where there is little room for escutcheons. The Zanda V23 is a cranked offset handle made for narrow-stile timber and aluminium glazed doors where hand access is limited. See offset pull handles for the full range. The Zanda Polo offset handle has a 60mm offset and a 110mm projection. The Zanda Nitro Plus has an 85mm offset, and the Zanda Omega offset has a 70mm offset, which suits aluminium joinery or places where room for escutcheons is limited. The straight Zanda Round profile handle has a 76mm projection and 32mm tube. How to read the size Pull handle sizes use five terms. The overall length is the full length of the bar. The fixing centres are the distance between the two fixing points, which sets the drilling pattern on the door. The projection is how far the handle stands off the door face. The width, or tube size, is the thickness of the bar. A back-to-back set m
