Door Lever

About this Product

What is a door lever?

A door lever is a door locking mechanism with an elongated, horizontally aligned handle. The door lever keeps a door closed until it is turned around, at which point it releases a latch bolt and allows the door to be opened. Door levers can incorporate a lock – the lock is typically located either in the escutcheon plate or in the barrel of the lever, closest to the spindle.

How do door levers work?

When the handle is turned, a square shaped spindle (a thin metal rod) inside turns. This rotates a cylinder, which is connected to the latch bolt that keeps the door closed. As it turns, the latch bolt is withdrawn into the door, allowing it to open. A spring inside the lever returns the handle to the upright position, and pushes the latch bolt back out again to keep the door secure when closed.

Door handles are an extremely influential aspect of the home, and at HAWIDO we like to think we can offer you something outstanding, functional, and uniquely individual for your desires and decor.

​Door handles have a huge impact on the character of your home, and will have a lasting effect.

Our Door Handles are constructed from solid Zinc Alloy which provide strength and toughness, while also having high corrosion resistance capabilities. With the inclusion of a small amount of copper during the construction process, this further strengthens the door handles while allowing for a high quality finish.

All door handles in our Exclusive Series range have a minimum of 50 to 60 microns of electroplating which increases their anti-corrosion ability while also giving the door handles themselves a tough scratch-resistant finish.

Each design is available in both a passage and privacy function allowing for use on every internal door within your home.
