AVUS
The legendary
This door handle bears its name in memory of the famous Berlin automobile race track, where numerous groundbreaking achievements were made. We introduced the first Avus shape back in 2011, which stood out for its wide polished surface. This shape was characterized by the two distinctive sweeping curves that were characteristic of the track. Adapting the door handle shape, we further refined the design. Now the handles consist of two elegant semicircles that frame the rectilinear front surface. Nowadays, the clear demarcation between walls, frames and doors is no longer necessary or desired. Materials and appearance are becoming increasingly uniform. The desire for order and visual simplicity characterizes modern living culture.

Cashmere grey
The so-called cashmere goats come from the former principality of Kashmir between India, Pakistan and China. Their wool is significantly softer than the finest sheep's wool and one of the most precious and expensive natural fibres of all. It inspired us for our velvety soft surface cashmere grey. Our cashmere grey not only offers luxury for the hands, but also has a silky matt appearance. The shade, which is very close to RAL 7022 (umbra grey), goes perfectly with warm tones and materials. Materials such as wood, patterns in textiles or other fluffy interior accents can be combined.
Look & Feel!
The surface finish developed by GRIFFWERK, soft2touch by GRIFFWERK, combines an extraordinary look with a velvety soft feel. Surfaces make a decisive contribution to a positive product experience. This is especially true for door handles, which are touched countless times every day - not only on inner doors.
Minimalism
According to the Duden dictionary, minimalism means "to deliberately limit to a minimum". The strength of minimalist interior design lies in the quiet focus on individual furnishing elements. Minimalism is not only a style of living. Rather, it describes an attitude to life that is reflected in the living space. Focus on the essential and do without the superfluous. That is the motto of a minimalist lifestyle. The goal is a simple elegance and purist structure. Choosing a minimalist door handle is the first step towards a minimalist living style.
Industrial Style
Untreated wood, exposed pipes, unrendered brick walls and concrete floors: The trendy interior style looks rough and does without frills. Everything looks used and unfinished. This is what makes the industrial style of living so special. The furnishing style is particularly popular in large and open loft flats. Typical of the interior design is a lush and massive leather couch, but door handles also contribute to the flair. Colours are used in industrial style to a limited extent, but in combination. This is to bring out an authentic industrial design.
Hygge
Hygge comes from Denmark and is more than just a style of living: it is a way of life. Cosiness, security and conviviality are particularly important in a hygge atmosphere. Such a room climate is created by warm colours such as beige, cream, white or pastel grey. Supported by natural materials such as wood, wool or stainless steel, hygge turns your living space into a feel-good atmosphere. Choosing the right door handle is the first step towards a Hygge living style. Door handles from Griffwerk with a warm look in the colours cashmere grey or stainless steel are particularly suitable.
DOOR HANDLE SETS
Door handle sets are door fittings that consist of door handles and the corresponding plates or rosettes and are used to open and close doors. Inside the door is a square lever handle pin, which is connected to a lever handle on both sides - via the so-called spindle part.
SQUARE ROSETTES
Square door rosettes are the rectangular or square plates that are fitted around the door handle and keyhole to cover the hole in the door leaf and provide a decorative as well as functional cover. In the square version, they offer a modern and angular design.
PROFILE CYLINDER
"Profile cylinder" refers to door locks that are fitted with a profile cylinder lock. This lock is operated with a special profile cylinder key, which is inserted into the cylinder and activates the locking mechanism. Profile cylinder locks offer a higher level of security and are often used on entrance doors, apartment doors and other doors that require increased security.
Door handles: FAQ
Can you replace door handles yourself?
Yes, usually a screwdriver or cordless screwdriver is sufficient to remove the protective fittings and pull out the door handle.
Which door handle?
Mortice lock door handle sets, BB sets for short, are suitable for room doors made of wood. Doors that are typically equipped with a door lock cylinder require a door handle with profile cylinder insert, or PZ for short. The most common door handle for use on bathrooms and toilets is the WC set with closer. For more intelligent closing and locking, there are door handles with Griffwerk smart2lock technology. The locking mechanism is integrated in the handle. You no longer need a key rosette. Smart2lock handles also impress with a modern and puristic design.
Is it easy to change door handles?
Door handles are very easy to change: Remove the old handles - to do this, simply loosely turn the small grub screw on one side of the door and pull both door handles outwards. Then remove the door plates or rosettes and mount the new handle set in the reverse order of removal. Finished.
Which Door handles are in trend?
A continuing trend: Black Door handles. Griffwerk offers a comprehensive range of these. The special feature: The black door handle is available from Griffwerk in the specially developed black shade Graphite black: particularly matt, high-quality, soft feel.
What material for door handles?
Match the material for door fittings to the look of the door. Stainless steel and aluminium go well with glass doors - whereas brass door handles tend to harmonise better with dark wood and plastic fittings are most suitable for lacquered or powder-coated doors. For heavy doors, stainless steel handles are preferable to all others.
Stainless steel fittings made of rust-free stainless steel, optionally matt or polished, are of particularly high quality. GRIFFWERK door handles in soft2touch surfaces offer exciting accents. Their velvety soft feel makes them particularly pleasant to touch.
Which DIN standard for door handles?
DIN EN 1906 "Building hardware - Lever handles and door knobs - Requirements and test methods" specifies properties such as permanent function, corrosion resistance, the free angular movement and displacement of lever handles and door knobs. Door handles are differentiated into categories of use (medium to frequent use by persons with low care), fire resistance (no performance to smoke and fire doors), security (from normal purposes to security requirements), corrosion resistance and burglary resistance.
Are door handles standardized?
Many door fitting dimensions are standardized - such as the square spindle and the distance between the lever handle and keyhole.
To ensure that every square spindle fits into every door, they all have the same cross-section of 8 x 8 millimetres - except for fire doors, where there is an extra millimetre. However, the length of square pins varies. It depends on the dimensions of the handle set.
For all room doors, the keyhole is 72 millimetres from the center of the lever handle.
Please note: The external dimensions of the door handles and fittings are different. When replacing them, make sure that the new one is at least as large or larger than the old one.
