Choosing polished chrome and satin chrome door handles

Polished chrome and satin chrome door handles are a popular choice for interiors where you want a bright, clean and easy to match finish. Polished chrome gives a reflective look that suits contemporary rooms and bathroom style fittings, while satin chrome has a softer brushed appearance that works well in busy homes, offices and commercial spaces.

Door handles on backplate are available in latch, lock, bathroom and euro profile versions. Latch handles are commonly used with tubular latches for standard internal doors. Lock handles are paired with mortice sash locks and latches for key locking. Bathroom handles work with bathroom locks or turn and release fittings, while euro profile handles are used with euro cylinder locks.

Before ordering, check the backplate size, lever length, projection, fixing centres, door thickness and the lock or latch centres. If you are replacing existing handles, choosing a similar backplate size can help cover old screw holes, marks or paint lines. Also check whether you need a plain latch backplate, a keyhole backplate, a bathroom backplate or a euro profile backplate to suit the door function.

Chrome finishes coordinate well with door hinges, keyhole covers and escutcheons, finger plates, door stops, door pull handles and flush door handles. They work especially well with white doors, grey interiors, glass, stainless steel, nickel, aluminium and modern bathroom fittings.
