Specifying handles for a villa

Door schedules, spindle lengths and lead times, what we ask for before a project drawing is fixed.

Specifying handles for a villa

Specification begins with the door, not the handle. Leaf thickness sets the spindle; the lock case sets the centres; the frame finish sets the rose. Send us a door schedule and we will return finishes, spindle lengths and quantities against it.

For private villas we recommend one lever throughout and a second, heavier piece for principal doors, entrance, library, principal suite. The change of weight is felt long before it is noticed.

Plan six to eight weeks from confirmed schedule, longer if leather is specified in a colour outside the house range. Samples for the hand ship within a week, anywhere among our eight houses.
