Front door hardware
Front door hardware completes the entrance and must fit the lock properly. Choose a model with a pull handle on the outside and a lever handle on the inside, or with a lever handle on both sides. The models in this collection feature cylinder-pull protection. Before ordering, check the center-to-center distance, cylinder, and mounting details of the selected model.
Front door hardware that suits the entrance
Front door hardware is a visible part of the entrance and should match the way you use the door. Do you want a pull handle outside and a handle inside, or a handle on both sides? This choice determines the operation, but it does not yet indicate that the hardware fits the existing lock.
In this collection, you will find front door hardware in black and gold, with cylinder protection according to the product details. Always compare the hardware design with the existing cylinder, lock, and door.
Comparing pull handle/handle and handle/handle
With a pull handle/handle design, there is a pull handle on the outside and a handle on the inside. With a handle/handle design, there is a door handle on both sides. How the door opens also depends on the lock mechanism. Therefore, choose based on the complete door combination, not just the desired exterior.
| Design or size | Meaning | What should you look out for? |
|---|---|---|
| Pull handle/handle | Exterior pull handle with interior handle | Operation together with the existing lock |
| Handle/handle | Handle on both sides | Desired operation from inside and outside |
| Center-to-center distance | Handle position relative to the cylinder | Compare exactly with the lock |
| Cylinder protection | Security feature of the hardware | Suitability for the cylinder and installation |
A cohesive finish, with the right technology
Matte black creates a clear contrast at the entrance, while gold adds warmth to the appearance of the door. Match the color to other visible details. If you want to continue that look indoors, view the door handles for interior doors. The same appearance does not mean that the technical design is identical.
Check which size specifications and properties are explicitly stated for each set. A mention of cylinder protection is not proof of a specific certification. Use certifications as a basis only when they are demonstrably specified for the product.
Installation, use, and maintenance
- Measure the center-to-center distance and check the connection to the cylinder.
- Compare the door thickness and mounting details with the selected hardware set.
- Check the contents of the delivery: the hardware, lock, and cylinder are not automatically supplied as one package.
- Have the installation assessed if the operation or suitability of the combination is unclear.

Frequently asked questions
Will any front door hardware fit my existing lock?
No. The center-to-center distance, mounting, door thickness, and cylinder connection must match. Also check whether the design is suitable for the desired operation of the door.
What is the difference between lever/handle and handle/handle?
Lever/handle has a lever on the outside and a handle on the inside. Handle/handle has a handle on both sides. The actual operation also depends on the lock mechanism.
Is cylinder protection the same as a quality mark?
No. Cylinder protection is a feature of the hardware. A quality mark or certification must be listed and substantiated separately for the specific product.
Are the lock and cylinder included with front door hardware?
This varies by product. Check the contents of the delivery on the product page. Only assemble the hardware, lock, and cylinder after comparing the connection dimensions of all components.
