Mid-Century Modern

Mid-Century Modern stands for a special design in architecture. Living styles originated in the USA and Europe between the 1930s and 1960s. Mid-Century Modern is characterized above all by clear lines, organic forms and streamlined design without further embellishments. In terms of color, earth tones are particularly popular. In homes today, the Mid-Century Modern furnishing style is often found in sofas and other furniture, but the style is also a furnishing idea for door handles. our door handles are a perfect match.

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.

ROUND ROSETTE SETS

Round rosettes are the circular 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. Rosettes combine aesthetic design with functionality. Matching the handle, they are available in the same finishes such as stainless steel, cashmere gray or brass look to suit different interior styles.

SMART2LOCK 2.0: WHAT IS IT?

Thanks to the innovative "smart2lock 2.0" locking technology, the door handle does not require a key rosette; the locking bolt is located on the top of the handle. As an occupied indicator, a red dot on the outside signals that the door is locked. The door can be emergency unlocked with a pointed object, e.g. a ballpoint pen.

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.

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.

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.
