Entrance Door Handle Sets

Pull Handles vs. Lever Kits for Your Entrance

If you want a striking look without a lock built into the handle, our pull handles are designed for exactly that. These back-to-back and knurled styles are fitted in pairs and don't include locking hardware, so they suit doors where the security function sits elsewhere.

Entrance lever kits are a different product entirely. Our ranges pair a lever with a mortice lock, giving you a single unit that both operates and secures the door. If you're not sure which style suits your door, our team can talk you through the difference before you buy.

Choosing Entrance Door Hardware for a Pivot or French Door

Pivot and French doors often call for hardware that can be fitted in a back-to-back configuration, which is why pull handles work well across both door types. Match your finish to surrounding fixtures such as house numbers, letterboxes or window fittings for a consistent look at the front of the home.

For French doors especially, keep the handle height and projection consistent across both leaves so the pair reads as a matching set even if only one side is the active door.

When You Need a Full Entrance Set

If your front door needs a thumb turn deadlock rather than a standalone lever or pull handle, this page isn't the right starting point. Our Entrance Set collection covers complete units built specifically for that level of security.

Browse our Entrance Sets if you need the lever, backplate and lock supplied together as one matching product.

FAQs

What is entrance door hardware?

Entrance door hardware covers the handles, levers and lock hardware fitted to a home's front or main entry door, including standalone pull handles and complete lever kits.

What's the difference between an entrance pull handle and an entrance lever kit?

A pull handle has no locking mechanism built in and is generally fitted as a pair, while an entrance lever kit combines a lever with a mortice lock in one unit.

Do I need a locksmith to fit entrance door hardware?

Our entrance hardware is designed for trade or experienced DIY fitting. If you're unsure about your door prep or existing lock compatibility, check the product specifications first or have a professional installer confirm the fit.

Can I mix a pull handle with a separate lock?

Yes, that's a common setup for pivot and French doors, where a pull handle provides the look and a separate lock or entrance set handles security.
