Door Handles

At Mill Timber Direct we know that the right door handle is much more than just a finishing touch — it’s a key part of how a door performs, feels and looks. Our dedicated range of Door Handles has been carefully curated to combine strong functionality, durable construction and design versatility. Whether you’re fitting internal doors in a residential renovation, or specifying contemporary entrances for a commercial project, our handles serve both practical and aesthetic demands.

Selecting suitable door handles starts by considering the door’s use, material and style. For high-traffic areas, choose a handle that is robust enough for frequent use; for exterior doors, materials like stainless steel or brass with weather-resistant finishes deliver longevity. Finishes range from polished chrome, satin nickel and matt black to classic brass, ensuring you can match or contrast the hardware with your door, frame and architectural theme. From lever handles on roses or backplates to pull bar styles for entrance doors, our portfolio covers a wide spectrum of options.

But we don’t stop at appearances. Each handle in our range is backed by technical consideration — fixing methods, spindle compatibility, door thickness and latch mechanism are all addressed so you can specify confidently. Our product listings include finish options, size specs and compatibility notes, making it easier for professionals and savvy DIYers to make the right choice. With Mill Timber Direct you also benefit from UK-wide delivery, strong stock holding and competitive pricing, helping you complete projects on schedule and within budget. Explore our door handles today and equip your doors with hardware that performs, endures and impresses.

Door Handles FAQs

How Does a Door Handle Work?

A door handle typically operates through a spindle that connects the handle on one side of the door to the mechanism inside the door. When you pull or turn the handle, the spindle rotates and withdraws the latch bolt from the strike plate in the frame, allowing the door to open. A spring then returns the mechanism to its original position so the door can latch again.

How High Should a Door Handle Be?

The standard fitting height for a door handle in the UK is between 900 mm and 1050 mm above the finished floor level. Many installers choose around 1000 mm as a practical and consistent height for most internal doors. For improved accessibility (e.g., wheelchair users), handles may be positioned at the lower end of that range.
