Sacramento & Nebraska Levers on Square Rose

The first two handles we have added to our collection are levers on a square rose. The first design is a sleek angled lever, ergonomically developed to allow comfort in use. The second lever on square rose also has ergonomics in mind as it features a dimpled thumb rest, which not only adds to the handle comfort but also adds to the overall style of the handle.

Tennessee, Orlando, Delaware & Oregon Levers on Round Rose

In addition to the levers on square rose we have added four levers on round rose. Three of these designs are available in either polished or satin chrome finish and the fourth is a dual finish lever handle of both polished and satin chrome finishes together. All of the designs are contemporary in style, however this is certainly not to say they will not look great in a more traditional setting that needs a modern twist.

Accessories to suit new Levers on Rose range

As with all of our levers on rose accessories are available for bathroom doors to lock with a thumbturn and have the release option on the outside to allow the door to be unlocked should anyone get locked in or need assistance. There are also escutcheons available for doors that require locking with a key, these are available with both standard and euro profile key ways.

All of our new levers on rose are very competitively priced with them all being between £15 and £18 including Vat. So what a fantastic opportunity to get some superb chrome door handles at a great price.

At Shop4handles we are pleased to announce our range of Serozzetta brass based levers on rose have now been reduced in price and are now some of the most competitively priced brass based door handles on the market!

Our previous articles on front door furniture have been very popular but have raised some additional questions  and it seems fitting that we include an article on uPVC or espagnolette multi point lock handles due to the number of enquiries we are recieving about these items. Espagnolette, or multi-point locking systems are becoming increasingly popular as they offer a higher lever of security and resistance to burglar attack than most single point locking systems. However many of the door handles to suit these locks are unadventurous and sterile in their design, made from cheap materials and whilst fit for purpose, do not enhance the appearance of a front door, merely providing a basic means to open one. We have worked hard to bring a range of stylish handle designs available in a number of different finishes to suit most styles of door and locking system, and many of these can be found on our website (although we also have many others if you call our shop). It should be noted however, that some uPVC door manufacturers intentionally use systems which are unusually sized, so as to ensure all replacements parts, alternative handles etc must be purchased from them directly.

Before we show you a few of the designs we have available it is important to look at how the handle is sized as there are a variety of different sized locks in widespread use, with only minor (but very important) differences between each one. There are a few measurements you will need to know before choosing a new handle set. These measurements can be seen in the diagram below.

Important measurements to know when choosing a handle

The first measurement to look at is the centres, this is from the middle of the handle centre to the middle of the keyhole. Typical measurements are 68mm, 70mm & 92mm, although there are some other less common measurements on the market. Handles with 92mm centres are the most common ones we stock as they are available in a variety of different handle styles and finishes, we also have a few handles on offer that have 70mm centres. Other centre measurement handles are available as special orders and we can supply handles from the likes of Mila and Hoppe to name but a few.

Fixing centres are also important as they do vary so again it is important you have the correct measurement before purchasing. Backplate length should also be considered as again this varies so it is important to know that the handle you are purchasing will fit in the place of an existing handle or cover any marks that are left. Once you have all these measurements correct you should be able to select the correct handle that will suit. If the measurements do not match any of the handles we have listed on our website, please contact us and we will try and find a suitable handle to meet your requirements.

Some handle designs are asymmetrical and are therefore handed. This means they can either come left or right handed depending on how the door is hinged. The best way to figure out what handing you require is to look at the door from the outside and see which side (left or right) of the door the handle is situated on as this will determine which hand you use to open it. So if the handle is situated on the left side of the door you will use your right hand to open it and thus it is a right handed handle. If you have any problems with this we will be happy to assist you and explain further.

uPVC & Multi Point Lock Door Handle

Now that the important considerations have been looked at it is now possible to look at some of the handles we are able to offer. As you can see above, there are a number of different styles and finishes available to accompany existing door furniture or compliment interior design features, from traditional to more modern and contemporary styles.

All of the items mentioned in this post are 10% off this month, so what better time to give your front door that new look! Simply enter the code FRONT DOOR into the coupon code box when prompted.

Gianna and Gamma Levers on Rose

The chrome handles pictured above are two of our best sellers offering a contemporary curved design which combines comfort, practicality and style. Pictured below are two other chrome handles from our stock range which are currently proving to be popular. The first design offers a modern twisted lever which not only looks the part but is ergonomically friendly. The other handle incorporates a more linear design which might suit those looking for something modern and minimalistic.

Twirl and Aurelia Levers on Rose

Perhaps two of the most modern designed lever handles on rose combine both polished and satin chrome finishes. The two-tone or dual finish handles can be seen pictured below. The first handle is from Eurospec’s designer range and comprises of  a curved satin chrome lever mounted onto a polished chrome stem and rose. Made from solid brass and with an exceptional build quality and a fine attention to detail, this handle is of a superior quality to many of those on the market. The polished and satin chrome finishes combine to create a sleek, stylish and modern look. Another dual finish handle is the Arkus which not only comes in polished chrome and satin chrome but also in a polished chrome and black nickel finish. The relatively new finish of black nickel has proved popular amongst those looking for something different and its combination with polished chrome makes it look even more chic and elegant.

Cumulus & Arkus Dual Finish Levers on Rose

All the handles pictured have a range of accessories to accompany them if the handles are to be used on a bathroom door or a door that requires locking. Matching bathroom thumbturns and escutcheons can be found in the accessories section of the website. If there are any questions or queries relating to these handles or the accessories please do not hesitate to e-mail us at sales@shop4handles.co.uk or call us on 01344 876955 or freephone 0800 027 2470.

Serozzetta Square Levers on Rose in Black Nickel

We are delighted to introduce a new range of black nickel levers on rose and accessories to our handle collection. Two of the handles are part of Carlisle Brass’ Serozzetta ‘M’ range which incoporate bold square design and stark linear features. Both handles are already available from us in polished and satin chrome, but we are now pleased to add both of these stunning handles in black nickel finish for those wanting something a little different.

Serozzetta Levers on Round Rose in Black Nickel

If you are looking for a more rounded, softer style of door handle yet still very contemporary the other three new additions are the perfect solution. All three designs are on a round rose. Two of the handles have a straight bar lever, one is sleek and thinner than the other more chunky lever which was originally available in a dual polished and satin chrome finish (and still is!). The final handle features a stylish subtle curved lever which like all the others looks outstanding in the new black nickel finish.

Black Nickel Thumbturns and Escutcheons

As with all levers on a rose, accessories are needed to accompany the handle on doors which have either a bathroom lock or sashlock. This is no problem as a full range of matching accessories including standard and euro profile escutcheons and bathroom thumbturns are available in both round and square design.

Before this announcement we only offered the JV760 in a dual Polished Chrome and Black Nickel finish. The unique appearance the Black Nickel brought had made this handle so popular we could not wait to get our hands on these latest designs! If you can’t find the designs through the site just give us a ring on 01344 876955!

Victorian Contemporary, Regency & Georgian Style Brass Door Handles

Firstly they are available in many different designs.  You could buy a basic Victorian contemporary design for example, which is square and simple in nature.  Alternatively you can try the more ornate Regency design featuring inset corners and a delightful design around the edges. In addition if you are looking for a period style then perhaps the Georgian style handle range maybe more suited to your needs.

Lever Latch, Lock & Bathroom Door Handles

Secondly they are available in latch, lock and bathroom designs. This allows you to situate them all over the house.  You can choose which doors you would like to lock, which ones you would prefer to keep unlocked at all times and have the bathroom sets situated on toilets and bathrooms enabling them to be locked with a turn of the thumb and finger. This gives you great versatility and you can still keep the same essential style of brass door handles throughout your home.

Finally the majority of our brass handles are solid brass and lacquered and are easy to maintain. All that is required in order to keep them gleaming and looking as good in years to come as they will the day you put them in place, is to regularly wipe a damp cloth over them.  As they are lacquered we do not recommend using anything but a damp cloth as the use of any polish or solvent can result in the lacquer breaking down and thus shortening the life span and quality look of the handle.

In addition to polished brass we are also available to supply satin brass, antique brass, un-lacquered and electro brass finishes. If you have any questions relating to any of these finishes please do not hesitate to contact us.

Door stops come in two main styles depending on where they need to be placed. At shop4handles, we sell a large variety of door stops from our shop in Ascot, Berkshire and we are constantly adding to our range online.

Wall or  Skirting Mounted door stops

Wall/Skirting Mounted Door Stops

The most popular style of door stop is mounted on the skirting or wall behind the door. It is best fitted around 2 inches in from where the edge of the door lines up with the wall, or in line with the object which would otherwise touch the wall (often the handle). One of the main benefits of this style of door stop is that it can be moved along the skirting to give a range the door can be opened. It also is often the only option where there is very thick carpet or underfloor heating to consider. If you have any questions about fitting this type of door stop please contact our friendly team and someone will be sure to help.

Floor Mounted door stops

2 Popular Styles of Floor Mounted Door Stops

The other main style of door stop is a floor mounted door stop. This is mainly used where the door does not reach a wall, but hits something else in the room, meaning a wall mounted or skirting mounted door stop is not possible. You will often find a floor mounted door stop in a bathroom or where doors are opening onto built in furniture. We sell a range of these door stops  online and even more if you contact us with your requirements!

There are other types of door stop including magnetic door stops and electromagnetic door stops. These require some extra attention to detail such as door weight and the usage, so please call us to discuss if you are looking for these.

Our range, some of which is offered for direct purchase online here: Door Stop includes Brass door stops, chrome door stops, satin chrome door stops, stainless steel, cast iron, black iron, bronze, nickel and more door stops, some highly decorative, others discreet!
