What is a door handle on backplate?

A door handle on backplate has the lever mounted on a long or short plate fixed to the door. The plate covers the keyhole or spindle area and gives a traditional look.

What is the difference between latch, lock and euro backplates?

A latch backplate is for internal doors with no lock, a lock (sashlock) backplate has a keyhole for a key, and a euro backplate is cut for a modern euro cylinder.

Do backplate handles fit standard doors?

Yes. Heritage Brass backplate handles fit standard internal and external doors, with latch, lock and euro versions to suit the lock you are using.
