What Are Door Pull Handles on Backplate?

Pull handles on backplate are a popular choice where extra strength, stability, or design detailing is needed. Unlike face fix or bolt-through handles, these products combine the grip of a pull handle with the decorative and functional benefits of a backplate. The backplate not only enhances aesthetics but also helps distribute force across a wider door area—ideal for heavy doors, high-traffic locations, or situations where you want to cover existing fixing holes.

Choosing the Right Pull Handle on Backplate for Your Door

Styles, Finishes, and Typical Applications

When selecting door pull handles on backplate, consider both the aesthetic and functional requirements of your project. For traditional period properties, finishes like antique brass and black iron work well, offering heritage charm. In modern interiors, polished chrome or commercial satin stainless steel pull handles provide a sleek, contemporary look.

For commercial settings, heavy-duty backplate pull handles in stainless steel are ideal for durability and ease of cleaning. If fitting to timber doors, the backplate helps spread fixing loads—particularly useful for fire doors, shop entrances, or public buildings.

Pair your chosen handle with products from our Door Hinges, Locks and Latches, and Door Furniture Accessories collections for a complete door hardware solution.
