Pair of Large Period Brass Door Handles DH007
Pair of Large Period Brass Door Handles DH007
Pair of original, quality larger than average 18th or early 19th century cast brass, drop ring door handles, fitted with a replacement steel bar, made to suit. These have been converted to fit both standard rim and mortice locks and latches. These handles were originally fitted by the blacksmith for each lock and door as required and, although we have converted these to fit standard locks and latches, we need to alter each bar and fitting in length to suit your door and lock measurements. So when ordering these handles, we require the measurements of the thickness of your door and, if a rim lock is fitted, the thickness of your lock also. When you receive the handles after our adjustment, it will fit your door and lock precisely.

Backplates 1.75" diam.

Handles 3" wide x 2.75" drop.

1" front to back.

Total drop including backplates 3.25".

Including the adjustment to your door size.
