For door hardware with a keyhole, the distance between the handle and the keyhole is the determining factor. In the Netherlands, 56 mm is the standard for interior doors, but always measure this before ordering. Do you have an older door? Then door hardware with a backplate is often the smartest choice. This neatly covers the lock hole recess. Tip: Use our free Measuring Guide to ensure you order the correct door hardware!
