Door rose CDF key L-1508

Bedroom key, also known as an L or OB key, in iron

This rose takes a long, toothless key known as a bedroom key, L key, OB key or Patent key, depending on the region. Its elongated keyhole makes it easy to distinguish from a cylinder rose. This is the traditional fitting for bedroom doors. It is forged from iron, the material used in Dauby’s CDF - Créations du Fer - collection. It is fitted as a pair, with one rose on each side of the door.

Included

• One pair of roses, left and right
• Two M4 through-bolts to secure the adaptors to the door
• Set of wood screws, available on special request
• Fitting instructions in French
• Material: iron
• 24-month manufacturer’s warranty

Compatibility

Designed for all types of wooden doors up to 44 mm thick. For thicker doors, tell us the thickness in your order comments and we will adapt the fitting kit. To understand the different types of roses, see our article on handles mounted on a rose.

Dauby, a Belgian foundry

Dauby makes its handles to order in Belgium in two collections. Création du Fer, which includes this model, is made entirely of solid iron: each piece is cast in a sand mould and then finished by hand in one of three finishes: polished iron, black (aged iron) or waxed rust. Inspired by the latches of old farmhouses, its authentic designs suit characterful homes as well as more contemporary, wood-rich interiors. PURE, the other collection, uses the same traditional techniques to create clean lines inspired by the Bauhaus, in white bronze, raw bronze, raw metal or aged iron.

Care

The iron finishes are lacquered or varnished. No coating is completely scratch-resistant: a ring, a sharp object or everyday use can leave marks, giving the piece its character. If the black lacquer is damaged, it can be touched up with RAL 9005. The waxed rust finish is deliberately rough and grainy: it should not be polished, but maintained with beeswax or petroleum jelly. Never use an abrasive cleaner.
