The elegance of a handle on an oval plate
The door handle on oval plate is the aesthetic and functional choice for any homeowner, decorator or builder looking to create a designer interior.
The advantages of a handle on an oval plate
Among the different models of door handles, the door handle on oval plate stands out for its originality, elegance and very on-trend look. Interior handles on square plate or round handles are very common: the oval handle shape is more original for your interior decoration. Ergonomic and contemporary, oval handles offer a chic finish for all your interior doors, whether a rustic door or a sliding wooden door!
Which type of oval handle should you choose?
Door hardware offers a wide range of oval escutcheon handles: the lever handle with oval rose, the recessed cup handle for a sliding door, the door knob, the window handle and even the furniture handle (drawer knob or cupboard door).
Designers use a wide variety of materials to create magnificent door handles. Polished brass, chrome, nickel or zamak (an aluminium and zinc alloy) offer different finishes to suit the home's decoration. Oval plates are also available in porcelain, ceramic, crystal, wrought iron and aged bronze for a rustic effect. Nylon, aluminium and stainless steel add a modern touch to a wooden door. Sliding cavity door handles, recessed cupboard handles or drawer handles are also available in the same finishes to harmoniously complement the furnishings and interior decoration. Furniture hardware can now be matched to the interior door handle for perfect harmony.
Which interior style suits an oval plate?
Oval plates offer a perfect solution for classic and rustic designer doors, as well as modern ones. An original door fits ideally into a contemporary setting.
A gold brass door handle gives a shiny and elegant effect to the room, while stainless steel provides a satin chrome finish with a more industrial look.
Decorative hardware offers numerous ranges of finishes from matt nickel, black steel, satin chrome, matt black, gold, golden brown, brushed stainless steel or lacquered white, or even matt stainless steel.
On the exterior handle side, you will find handles on oval plate for the front door accompanied by a suitable locking system.
Oval plate: for which type of door?
Door handles on oval plate also offer a wide variety of models to suit the different types of interior and exterior doors.
The latch handle (without lock) is the ideal interior handle for the kitchen or living room. For the bedroom, plan for a handle with a keyhole fitting. The front door handle will be fitted with a locking system (key function lock) to ensure optimum security. The cylinder or privacy bolt is more suited to locking the interior bathroom or WC door. Door locks can also be matched to the handle and plate for an elegant finish. Taking the centre distance into account is also essential when choosing an oval door handle. The centre distance corresponds to the distance between the handle and the lock. Sets comprising the latch and the bolt or lock cylinder help make every door a designer piece.
Thanks to the various styles of materials and finishes available, you will easily find the oval plate that matches your taste while benefiting from a functional and decorative handle. And for its installation, all you need is basic tools, namely a screwdriver (and less commonly a drill) to assemble and screw the individual parts (spindle, rose, latch, fixing screws).
It is undeniable that the shape of the handle plays an essential role in terms of decoration. The door handle on oval plate adds style and elegance to a modern door while ensuring the safety of users. A simple designer handle placed on the swing door of the bedroom or on a kitchen unit becomes a decorative accessory you will not be able to do without! Opening the front door or closing the kitchen door becomes a daily pleasure.
