LocksOnline "Belfry" Pewter Hand-forged Door Handle Set on Backplate

If you're looking for a unique and special set of door handles, then the Belfry range is well worth closer examination. These hand-forged pewter door handles on backplate combine a sense of the traditional with a modern twist in terms of the design. They have a weighty feel to them, and are clearly unique and individual pieces, as can be seen when looking at the two handles within the pair. The backplate has a predominantly smooth face with a slight hammered bevel at the edge, and it is in the detail here, and along the lever grip that you can see the character of the hand forging process. Each handle in the pair has subtle variations, only achievable by hand forging.

The lever grip has some smart detailing with additional rings round the bar, and a visually textured finish thanks to the contrasts of the pewter. The shoulder of the lever rises from the backplate with quite a chunky look to it, before narrowing down to form the lever, and again there is a real sense of individuality and craftsmanship about this element too. The handles are sprung, meaning that they will return to the horizontal start point of their own accord.

Dimensions wise, these measurements are approximate bearing in mind the hand-forged nature of the product, however the backplate has a length of 150mm, and a width of 50mm, whilst the lever grip is 120mm in length. There are three variations of the backplate available - standard latch plate, lockset with keyhole cut out, and bathroom door lock, supplied with a privacy turn and release spindle. All pairs of handles are supplied with spindles and fixing screws, allowing installation to be straightforward!
