The tapered lever handle on our Apsley design is sleek and simple, while the low-profile, long backplate gives it a bold, contemporary edge. This version of the plate has a built-in thumbturn.

The handle comes with a sprung mechanism inside which is strong enough to take the weight of the solid brass and stop it sagging over time. It means you can pair it with any latch.

There’s also no danger of it coming away in your hand – the spindle is threaded onto the handle which holds it in place.

Bronze is our boldest finish, but it isn’t shiny or bright, so it has a subtle side to it too. It’s a deep matt brown colour that’s almost black in some lights.
