Entrance door fittings ART NOUVEAU

Knob-and-lever sets

Entrance door fittings are usually made as knob-and-lever sets. By this we mean the combination of a fixed knob on the outside of the door and a moveable lever on the inside, connected by a rotatable half spindle. With this kind of door fitting, the door can be opened from outside only with the key. All knob-and-lever sets can be produced as lever sets. With this variant you can open the door from inside and outside using the lever, however the door is not locked. As a special variant we offer these fittings with a fixed lever to the outside or rotatable knob.

Distance dimensions / Profile cylinder punch hole

The lock plates or roses for entrance door fittings are delivered with a punch hole for profile cylinders (abbr. PC) for mortice locks. The lock plate has a hole for the knob, or lever respectively, and a hole for the profile cylinder. Two standard distance dimensions apply in Germany: PC 92mm and PC 72mm – measured from center lever hole to center of the round part of the hole for the profile cylinder. Unless stated otherwise we deliver our entrance door fittings with distance dimension PC 92mm Apartment doors often have locks with a distance of PC 72. Please check before placing orders. Older locks often have different dimensions – other countries have different standard dimensions. If you decide to have a fitting with rose the distance dimension is irrelevant. Production of door fittings with round cylinders is also done on request.

Door hinge DIN left/DIN right

Some door knobs are not symmetrically shaped. It is necessary to state the door hinge before placing orders, to ascertain that the door lever can be be installed correctly. The door hinge for doors that open inward are denominated as follows:

• standing on the inside of the door, pulling the door towards oneself, the door is fixed on the left side of the frame = Door hinge DIN left
• standing on the inside of the door, pulling the door towards oneself, the door is fixed on the right side of the frame = Door hinge DIN right

Mounting and safety

The historical look-and-feel of our entrance door sets is primary. Therefore these fittings are not certified safety door sets. All fittings have threaded sleeves that are soldered on the outside latch or rose respectively, thus installation is made through the door. The fitting cannot be unscrewed from the outside. The visible drill holes are for additional fastening with wood screws. We produce certain fittings with a 10mm outside plate, on request (available at extra cost).
