Guide to buying handles online

The functioning of the door handles on the escutcheon and the plate is the same. Only the aesthetics change. In the example you can see the Glamor Linea Calì handles for sale on Windowo.



Handles on rose : the handles on rose have the handle separated from the key hole. They are more modern and therefore you can choose from many models, especially design handles. To get an idea, we recommend that you look in our category of handles on rosette.

Plate handles: the plate handles have the handle connected to the key hole by the so-called plate. This type of handles is going out of style so there is less choice. However, many beautiful collections remain, especially of classic and antique handles.

The hole where you insert the key to open the door can be of two types:
