Latch Backplate Questions

What is a latch door handle on backplate?

A lever handle on a plain backplate, with no keyhole, that works a tubular latch to hold an internal door closed. It suits doors that do not need to lock.

How many handles do I need for one door?

One pair. Each Heritage Brass latch handle on backplate comes as a pair with a spindle and all fixing screws, so one pair fits both sides of one door.

What latch do I need?

A standard UK tubular latch. If you are replacing old lever handles your existing latch will usually work; for new doors choose a York tubular latch to suit the door.

Do the latch handles match the lock and bathroom versions?

Yes. Most Heritage Brass designs come as latch, lock and bathroom backplates in the same finishes, so every door in the house can match.

Why choose a backplate instead of a rose?

A backplate covers more of the door, which helps hide marks or holes left by old handles, and suits period panel doors.

What are Heritage Brass handles made from?

Solid brass, with the finish applied over the brass.

Standard, heavy duty or long backset

Choosing a Latch for Backplate Handles

Every latch handle on backplate works a tubular latch fitted in the door edge. If you are replacing old lever handles, your existing latch will usually work. For new doors, a York tubular latch sits behind Heritage Brass handles with a forend in a matching finish.

Heavier doors, or doors that get a lot of use, are better with a heavy duty tubular latch. Period doors with wide stiles may need a 4 or 5 inch long backset latch so the handle sits in the right place on the door.

If the door needs to lock, choose the lock, euro lock or bathroom version of the same design so every door still matches.

Short, standard or long

Choosing a Backplate Size

Heritage Brass latch backplates range from about 111mm to 247mm long. Check the Dimensions on each product for the exact size.

Short plates of around 119mm, such as Victoria Short and Windsor Short, suit doors with narrow stiles or glazed panels. See all short plate latch handles.

Standard plates of around 150mm to 190mm, such as Victoria, Windsor and Edwardian, suit most panel doors.

Long plates of 200mm and more, such as Bauhaus, Gio and Saturn Long, make a statement on tall doors and cover large marks left by old handles.
