Designer door handles on longitudinal plates
The door handle is no longer limited to a simple functional fitting for opening and closing doors: its decorative power greatly influences the appearance and style of your home. Handles on longitudinal plates are among the most popular models for many homeowners, architects, and interior designers, as they offer numerous advantages.
Why choose a handle on a longitudinal plate?
The escutcheon of this type of handle is very visible and contributes to the overall look of the handle.
Longitudinal plates offer great flexibility in terms of finishes and handle styles to make any door truly unique!
A wide choice of materials and finishes
The long plate handle is manufactured in a wide variety of materials including brass handles, zamak (an alloy of zinc and aluminium), bronze handles, wrought iron, nickel, stainless steel, anodised aluminium, as well as porcelain or crystal.
Finishes are extremely varied, 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 handles or polished gold handles. Designers are constantly creating modern handles in very on-trend styles, sporting vivid colours such as green, yellow, or strawberry red!
This choice from our various products allows you to select a combination of plate and handle that perfectly suits your home and personal style.
Resistant handles: a security and functionality asset
Handles on longitudinal plates also offer additional security options. Indeed, these handles are often paired with very sturdy hardware and are therefore generally fitted to exterior doors. The front door is often equipped with this model, but it is also installed as an interior handle in 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 harder to force open.
Another advantage of longitudinal plates: ergonomic in design, they can be more practical for people with reduced mobility (PRM) or young children. Handles on plates are easier to grip and open as they offer a wider and more stable surface to hold.
Finally, as its name suggests, the large escutcheon limits fingerprints, key marks, and other marks left on the door wood caused by the daily use of the kitchen door or front door.
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 footprint, you can also opt for sliding handle plates, which make it easier to open the door.
Even windows can be fitted with long plate handles to coordinate with door handles.
You can also choose knob handles on a plate, with door knobs replacing the lever.
Furniture handles are less commonly offered on long rectangular plates, even though decorative hardware places no restrictions when it comes to interior decoration!
Contemporary style or vintage design?
The many finishes of our handles on longitudinal plates offer a wealth of 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 chrome longitudinal plate handle for its industrial look, the rust handle with its curved lever for a vintage style, the matt black lacquered handle for chic elegance, or the gold handle for sophistication! The plates can be enriched with decorative motifs, trimmings, and escutcheons in various styles.
The perfect handle for a renovation
The long plate handle is ideally suited to the renovation of old doors where the wood (or joinery) may be damaged. The large surface of the metal plate covers cavities and holes. The keyhole is thus dressed and modernised.
Easy to install on a rustic door without having to calculate the centre distance, the long plate handle 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…) to be fitted with a screwdriver are all it takes to create a designer interior!
