Choose your backplate cut-out

The lever is welded to the backplate, so the factory-drilled backplate determines its use. Choose from four versions: traditional keyhole, cylinder keyhole, privacy for toilets and bathrooms, or a blank backplate with no cut-out. The distance between the lever and keyhole centres is 70 mm, the French standard; another spacing can be made to order, so let us know.

Why choose a long backplate?

The long backplate covers 240 mm of the door’s height, concealing old fixings and chipped paint: it is a solution for renovated doors, gates and pedestrian gates. It also spreads the force along the door stile, making it more forgiving than a rose on a worn door.

Manufacture

Joséphine handles are made in Europe, in Poland. The 240 mm steel backplate provides rigidity, while the zamak lever offers a comfortable grip. Both are finished with oven-cured powder coating, which does not flake and withstands outdoor conditions.

Coordinate your collection

The Joséphine collection also includes handles on round roses, window handles and espagnolette handles, all in the same matt black finish.
