Key Features and Benefits
✔ Elegant Lever on Back Plate Design
The classic lever on back plate design provides a timeless, streamlined look suitable for both modern and traditional interior styles. The back plate’s dimensions (180mm height x 39mm width) offer a well-proportioned surface that covers existing door marks or holes, making it suitable for upgrades or refurbishments.
✔ High-Quality Solid Zinc Construction
Manufactured from solid zinc, the Europa Latch Handle offers excellent strength and corrosion resistance while maintaining a refined metallic finish. Zinc construction ensures longevity and makes the handle suitable for areas with regular use.
✔ Satin Nickel Finish (SN)
The satin nickel finish delivers a soft, contemporary sheen that complements a wide variety of door finishes and interior palettes. It resists fingerprints and minor abrasions, making it ideal for everyday use in homes, offices, or hospitality settings.
✔ Smooth Sprung Lever Mechanism
The integrated sprung lever mechanism offers smooth, responsive operation. This ensures the handle returns neatly to the horizontal position after use, enhancing both aesthetics and functionality. It also reduces wear on latch mechanisms over time.
