Front door fitting Bauhaus with pull handle DESSAU (Z) - brass
Stylish Bauhaus design in brass for your front door
The design of the DESSAU front door fitting is based on the design from Walter Gropius' studio from the 1920s - timeless to this day! The solid brass fitting combines clear lines and harmonious curves and blends perfectly into any modern or classic architecture.
The bent (offset) pull handle enables secure opening even with narrow door friezes and protects fingers from being trapped between the door and frame.
The 10 mm thick outer plate is fitted with threaded sleeves on the back and is screwed in from the inside for safety reasons. On request, the backplate can also be manufactured with core pull protection as additional burglary protection.

Knob/handle-set / handle set
Today, entrance door fittings are usually designed as knob/handle-sets. A knob/handle-set refers to the combination of a stationary knob or pull handle on the outside and a moving handle on the inside of the door. The knob and lever handle are connected by a rotatable knob/lever spindle. The door can only be opened from the outside with the key.
The door set can also be manufactured as a handle set. In this design, the door can be opened from the outside and inside with the lever handle, but it is not locked. As a special variant, we also offer these sets with a stationary knob on the outside or with a rotatable knob. Distance / euro profile cylinder perforation
Entrance door fittings are supplied with euro profile cylinder perforations (abbreviation: PZ) for mortise locks as standard. The door plates have a perforation for the knob or lever handle and a perforation for the profile cylinder. In Germany, there are two standardised distances for this: PZ 92 mm or PZ 72 mm, measured from the centre of the handle hole to the centre of the round part of the cylinder hole. Locks with a euro profile distance of 72 mm are often installed in flat entrance doors. Different dimensions may occur with old locks - other standard dimensions apply in other countries.
The fittings can also be manufactured with a round cylinder hole (Swiss standard distance 78 mm).
The distance is not relevant for door sets with roses.
The distance is not relevant for door sets with roses.Mounting and security
The historical appearance of our entrance door fittings takes centre stage. They are therefore not tested security fittings. However, all fittings have threaded sleeves soldered to the outer plate or outer rosettes so that mounting is done through the door. The set cannot simply be unscrewed from the outside. The visible screw holes are intended for additional mounting using wood screws and also have a design function.
On request, some of the fittings can be manufactured with a 10 mm thick outer plate (for an additional charge).Side of hinges - DIN left / DIN right
We need you to specify the side of hinges for this door handle. For doors that open inwards, the side of hinges are named as follows:- standing on the inside of the door, pulling the door open towards you: The door is mounted on the left side of the frame - DIN left side of hinges
- standing on the inside of the door, pulling the door open towards you: The door is mounted on the frame on the right-hand side - side of hinges DIN right
Surface finishes
These fittings are available in various surface finishes:- polished brass, unlacquered - gold-coloured - will darken, become slightly duller and more irregular
- shiny nickel-plated - shiny silver-coloured - may become slightly darker
- brushed, matt nickel-plated - matt silver-coloured with a light brushed texture - may become slightly darker
- dark patinated - brownish colouring - slightly irregular
- black matt - stove-enamelled
Knob/lever spindle / spindle thickness
Pull handle sets are supplied as standard with a knob/lever spindle with plate for push-through installation - 8 mm spindle with sleeve for 10 mm lock nut, galvanised steel, slotted on both sides, length 70 mm.
If your door is only drilled on one side, please let us know! In this case, we supply with a 10/8 mm dowel pin (for 10 mm lock follower, reduced to 8 mm), galvanised steel, length 70 mm.

Installation instructions
All assembly work should be carried out by a specialist (carpenter). They have the appropriate special tools and expertise to carry out the mounting without any problems. We accept no liability for damage caused by improper mounting.If you want to do the mounting yourself, here are some tips: The mounting of entrance door fittings requires precise work: The door must be drilled through exactly at right angles at the specified distances in order to be able to insert the threaded screws. The spindle is screwed into the thread of the knob and the supplied sleeve (for locks with a 10 mm follower) is fitted onto the spindle. The knob/lever spindle is inserted through the lock follower and the knob long plate or the knob on rose is fitted. For precise alignment of the backplate, it is advisable to insert the profile cylinder in advance. The inside plate is placed on the door and loosely screwed to the outside plate using the threaded screws. If the screws or knob/lever spindle are too long, they can be shortened with a hacksaw. The lever handle is placed on the spindle and loosely mounted to the spindle using a grub screw. Only when the plates or roses are precisely aligned is the final mounting carried out. Door plates or roses are then mounted on the door leaf using additional wood screws.
Care instructions
Brass is alive! We always deliver brass fittings unlacquered. The surface will darken slightly and become more irregular and lively in colour. The fitting develops its own patina and approaches the appearance of original historical fittings. If you wish, you can polish it again from time to time. We recommend Nevr Dull® polishing pad for this purpose. Nickel-plated surfaces are sensitive to acids. They should only be cleaned with a mild detergent and a soft cloth.
