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 is unsprung, which means you can use it with an existing sprung latch. We’d always recommend using our unsprung lever handles with strongly sprung latches to stop sagging over time.

There’s also no danger of it coming away in your hand – we’ve engineered the backplate and lever to be inseparable.

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.
