Door handles on a backplate: Functional and stylish door hardware

Give your doors a powerful look with door handles on a backplate from Lavuzo. Whether you have a classic, modern, or industrial interior, a door handle with a backplate is the perfect way to enhance and secure your doors. This type of door hardware on a backplate is mounted directly onto the door leaf and is ideal for covering existing holes or creating a uniform look.

Door handle with backplate: the perfect combination

The door handle with backplate combines the handle with an elongated metal plate (the backplate). This backplate provides a beautiful finish and is important for ensuring the various locking methods.

Focus on design and materials

Our collection of door handles and lever handles has been carefully curated with unique styles and finishes:

• Black door hardware: Our collection of black door handles with backplates is extremely popular. This provides a modern and sleek contrast on both white and colored doors.
• Stainless steel door handle with backplate: For a timeless and low-maintenance look, choose a stainless steel door handle with a backplate.
• Long backplate door handle: The long backplate not only covers the holes but also offers a larger surface area, which contributes to the visual impact of the door.

How to measure the correct center-to-center size for your door hardware

The center-to-center size (steekmaat) is crucial when choosing a door handle on a backplate and determines which type of lock your door has. By this, we mean the distance from the center of the handle hole (where the spindle passes through) to the center of the keyhole or cylinder hole.

Before you order new door hardware on a backplate, you must measure the center-to-center size to ensure the door hardware fits perfectly. Our range includes all standard sizes:

• Door hardware on a blank backplate: For standard passage doors without a locking method. These are the most common doors in a home.
• Door hardware on backplate SL56: For locks with a classic keyhole.
• Door hardware on backplate SL72: Also suitable for locks with a classic keyhole, but with a larger center-to-center distance.
• Door hardware on backplate PC55: Extremely suitable for interior doors lockable with a cylinder lock. 
• Door hardware on backplate PC72: For cylinder locks, often used for utility cupboards and in offices.
• Door hardware on backplate WC63: Door handle with WC locking, ideal for bathrooms and toilets.

Tip: Always measure from the center of the door handle spindle to the center of the turning point of the key or cylinder.

Combine door handles for a uniform look in the home

Create unity and tranquility in your home by choosing one type of door handle on a backplate for all doors. For example, combine a door handle on a blank backplate for the living room with a WC63 backplate for the bathroom, but from the same door handle series and finish. This way, you have the right door hardware for every door and create unity in your interior!
