Designer door handles on long backplates
The door handle is no longer limited to a simple functional fitting used to open and close doors: its decorative power enormously influences the appearance and style of your home. Handles on long backplates are among the most popular models for many homeowners, architects and interior designers, as they offer numerous advantages.
Why choose a handle on a long backplate?
The finger plate of this type of handle is very visible and contributes to the overall look of the handle.
Long backplates offer great flexibility in terms of finishes and handle styles to make any door original!
A wide choice of materials and finishes
The handle on a long plate is manufactured in a wide variety of materials including brass handle, zamak (an alloy of zinc and aluminium), bronze handle, wrought iron, nickel, stainless steel, anodised aluminium, as well as porcelain or crystal.
The finishes are very numerous, with options ranging from lacquered to aged, through to satin and polished.
You will find this handle in every possible colour: chrome, stainless steel or rust, as well as matt black, white handle or polished gold handles. Designers constantly imagine modern handles in very on-trend styles featuring vivid colours such as green, yellow or strawberry red handles!
This choice from our various products allows you to select a combination of plate and handle that perfectly suits your home and personal style.
Durable handles: a security and functionality asset
Handles on long backplates also offer additional security options. Indeed, these handles are often associated with very sturdy hardware and are therefore generally fitted to external doors. The front door is often fitted with this model, but it is also installed as an interior handle in lever-latch mode or combined with a locking system (key or WC-type bolt).
Larger plates accommodate door locks such as espagnolette bolts or deadbolts, making the door much harder to force open.
Another advantage of long backplates: ergonomic, they can be more practical for people with reduced mobility (PRM) or young children. Handles on plates are easier to grasp and open as they offer a wider and more stable surface to hold.
Finally, as its name suggests, the large finger plate limits fingerprints, key marks and other marks left on the door wood due to the daily handling of the kitchen door or front doors.
Handles for all types of doors
This model is naturally suited to both entrance doors and interior hinged doors. If you have sliding doors for their reduced bulk, you can also opt for sliding door handle plates, which make opening the door easier.
Even windows can be fitted with handles on long plates to coordinate with door handles.
You can choose knob handles on a plate, with the door knob replacing the lever.
Furniture handles are more rarely offered on a long rectangular plate, even though decorative hardware places no restrictions on interior decoration!
Contemporary style or vintage design?
The many finishes of our handles on long backplates offer multiple decorative solutions! The traditional dull stainless steel grey plate is replaced by ultra-trendy handles in modern colours capable of enhancing any interior style. Choose the handle on a chrome long backplate for its industrial look, the rust-coloured handle with a curved latch for its vintage style, the black lacquered handle for chic elegance, or the gold handle for sophistication! The plates can be enriched with decorative motifs, trims and escutcheons in a variety of styles.
A perfect handle for a renovation
The handle on a long plate is ideally suited to the renovation of old doors whose wood (or joinery) may be damaged. The large surface area of the metal plate of the handle allows cavities and holes to be covered. The lock hole is thus dressed and modernised.
Easy to install on a rustic door without having to calculate the centre distance, the handle on a long plate works decorative wonders, making it an accessory often chosen for modern kitchen doors or contemporary bathroom doors. A few spare parts (plate, spindle, fixing screws, etc.) to be fitted with a screwdriver are all it takes to create a designer interior!
