The modern style of door handles being introduced into this country is the round rose style.

The choice is entirely yours. It makes no difference to the actual performance of the door. Your real decision is what will complement your door and room the most and be aesthetically pleasing depending on your decor and style of room. If you have decided to give the room a contemporary feel with basic lines and clean clear walls with a modern style of door a lever on a rose is usually more favourable being a more modern handle with smart sleek simple levers, once you choose your lever all that is left is to chose the finish that will complement your door colouring the most. Don’t forget that if you are using this style of handle on a door with a lock on it you will need a pair of escutcheons to cover the key hole (These will come up in extras).

Traditionally the lever on a back plate is for those who have a period house or wish to create a period feel. The back plate is there to make a statement on the door weather it be Victorian to complement large doors and high ceilings, Georgian and Regency to set itself of against the ornate plasterwork and dado rails, we can also cater for European periods. There is also a huge range of modern back plates to give a timeless look to the door or bring it right up to date to give some diversity to your room, each has a complementing lever and the added choice of not only lots of beautiful finishes, but with some range the a duo finish is available giving a satin/polished appearance.
