Brass door handles bring a warm, timeless detail to both contemporary and traditional interiors. Our selection of door handles includes different shapes and finishes, so you can choose a look that complements your doors and other fittings.
How to choose your door handles
Start by checking that the handle fits your door type, door thickness, lock and existing mounting holes. For outdoor use, choose a model explicitly suitable for the location and exposure; a brass finish alone does not establish outdoor suitability. Some fittings use mounting centres of 30 mm or 38 mm. Check the product drawing and read our guide to choosing door handles with the correct mounting centres. These dimensions are not universal standards for every door or market.
Then consider the finish: polished, brushed or darkened brass can each create a different expression. Coordinate your door handles with brass cabinet handles, brass knobs and brass hooks for a coherent look throughout your home.
Brass door handles by Arne Jacobsen
Arne Jacobsen is one of Denmark’s renowned architects and designers. His focus on simple forms and functionality is reflected in his door handles, whose understated design suits many different interiors. If you need a handle for an exterior door, check the specifications of the individual model and finish before ordering.
Unlacquered brass changes over time and develops a patina as it reacts with its surroundings. This is part of the material’s character. Lacquered and other treated finishes require different care, so always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for your particular handle.
For everyday cleaning, use a soft, well-wrung cloth and dry the surface afterwards. Avoid abrasive cleaners and scouring pads, which can scratch the finish. If you want to restore the shine of unlacquered brass, use a suitable brass polish only where the manufacturer permits it. Do not apply metal polish to lacquered, coated or deliberately darkened surfaces unless the care instructions explicitly allow it.
