Entrance Door Handle Sets

What Makes an Entrance Set Different from a Pull Handle

An entrance set is a genuine locking solution, not just a handle. Our entrance sets include a high security thumb turn lock built into the unit, so you get a lever, backplate and lock designed to work together rather than sourced separately.

If keyless entry suits your household better than a thumb turn, we also stock Smart Lock options that pair with an entrance set setup. It's worth deciding on lock type before you choose a lever style, since it can affect which set fits your door prep.

Choosing the Right Entrance Door Lock Set

Start by confirming the set actually includes a locking mechanism rather than a lever alone, Start by confirming the set actually includes a locking mechanism rather than a lever alone, since not every entrance-style handle on the market does. Check the product details for a thumb turn deadlock or similar function before you buy.

Backplate style is the next decision. Our range covers round rose, stepped and rectangular backplates, so you can match the shape to your door's existing cutout or the overall look you're after.

Finish matters too. Keep it consistent with your other entrance hardware, whether that's a pull handle, house numbers or a door knocker, so the front of the home reads as one considered look rather than mismatched pieces.

Security and Fit Considerations

A front entrance carries more security weight than an internal door, so the locking function is worth getting right rather than choosing on looks alone. A high security thumb turn lock gives you a proper deadlock function from inside, which a standalone pull handle can't offer.

FAQs

What is an entrance door handle set?

An entrance door handle set combines a lever, a backplate and a lock, usually a high security thumb turn deadlock, into one matching unit designed for a front door.

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

An entrance set includes a genuine locking mechanism as part of the unit. A lever kit may pair a lever with a separate mortice lock rather than a built-in thumb turn deadlock, so it's worth checking the product details for either.

Do entrance sets come with a lock included?

Yes. Our Osaka, Sarlat and Helsinki entrance sets each include a high security thumb turn lock. We also stock Smart Lock options if you'd prefer keyless entry instead.
