The Ludlow Foundries Straight UPVC Door Handle on Backplate Black Antique has a wonderful traditional style handle for exterior double doors with an antique black finish. These handles are often used on conservatories, patio doors, front doors and French windows. This type of door handle has a euro profile keyhole and operates a multipoint lock (not included with this product).
Cast Iron Handle
This pull handle is made from cast iron and has a black antique finish. The most up to date production processes are used to produce this timeless, beautifully crafted door handle which looks wonderful in old country cottages or period homes. Cast iron is susceptible to rusting and, when used externally should be regularly cleaned of dirty deposits and coated with beeswax. This will give it some protection, but this must be maintained consistently to keep the handle in good condition. Some say that some minor rusting of the product adds to the authentic antique look. This finish is not suitable for use in coastal areas or particularly exposed situations where wind and rain will corrode it very quickly.
Lock Centres
This handle has 92mm lock centres and 123.5mm fixing centres. The most common lock centres measurement (distance between the centre of the lever and the centre of the round part of the keyhole) is 92mm. However, many of these door handles (particularly if they are several years old) have different centres, so be sure to check carefully before making a purchase.
