Blank Cylinder Pulls – Keyless Door Pull Handles for Modern Timber Doors

Our selection of blank cylinder pulls offers a clean, simple solution where no keyhole is required. Ideal for non-locking doors or blanking off unused cylinder holes.

What Is a Blank Cylinder Pull?

A blank door pull is a functional and decorative piece of hardware designed for doors that do not require a keyhole. These are often installed on timber doors where a cylinder has been removed, or where access is controlled from one side only. The pull gives you a grip to close the door without the need for a full handle or visible cylinder.

When to Use One

Commonly used in commercial settings, schools, factories and older premises, pull handles without a cylinder are ideal when doors are operated by push bars internally or don’t require locking from the outside. They are also useful when converting an existing lockable door into a blank face, or when covering previous keyhole cut-outs.

We supply designs in polished stainless steel and satin stainless steel, giving you a contemporary finish that matches other door furniture such as letter plates, door knockers and door chains.
