The Object

Knurled gripengineered to the hand

The Thaon Handle is cut from solid brass in a cylindrical form, with knurling along the grip section that bites cleanly whether your hands are dry or damp. A circular escutcheon plate — round or square — frames the lock mechanism on both faces. Inside lock with emergency access for bathrooms and bedrooms; passage and dummy configurations for doors that don't need locking. Five finishes from brass to night black.
Why you'll love it

  • Knurled grip — secure traction in any condition
  • Inside lock with emergency access for privacy doors
  • Round or square escutcheon plate
  • Five finishes: brass, antique brass, black, silver, nickel
Details

No wiring here — just careful measuring, drilling, and mounting. Mortice locks take a bit more patience than a simple knob.

Before you begin

  • Mounting — surface installation on doors, drawers, or cabinetry; check your product's dimensions for placement and drilling points

What you'll need

  • Screwdriver (Phillips and flathead), drill and drill bits, Allen key
  • Tape measure, pencil, level
  • Chisel (for mortice lock installation)
  • Screws and anchors, safety goggles

Step by step

  1. Cabinet hardware — mark drilling points — use a tape measure and pencil; a template helps for uniformity across multiple pieces.
  2. Cabinet hardware — drill holes — use a bit matched to the screw diameter, keeping the drill straight.
  3. Cabinet hardware — mount — insert screws from inside the cabinet or drawer, secure the hardware on the front face, and tighten without overtightening.
  4. Cabinet hardware — align and inspect — confirm straightness and spacing before fully securing.
  5. Thumb lock or dummy handle — confirm orientation — determine left- or right-hand door swing and adjust as needed.
  6. Thumb lock or dummy handle — mark installation height — typically 36–38 inches from the floor to the handle center; align the mounting plate.
  7. Thumb lock or dummy handle — drill and attach — drill pilot holes and secure the backplate and handle with the included screws. Dummy handles install directly, no latch mechanism.
  8. Thumb lock only — install the strike plate — mark the latch location on the door frame, chisel a recess if needed, and screw the strike plate in.
  9. Mortice lock — cut the mortice pocket — use a chisel and drill to create a cavity in the door edge, following the provided measurements.
  10. Mortice lock — insert the lock body — fit it into the cavity and attach through the faceplate with screws.
  11. Mortice lock — install the handle — align the spindle through the lock, attach handles on both sides, and tighten with a screwdriver or Allen key.
  12. Mortice lock — install the cylinder (if applicable) — insert the key cylinder and secure with the cylinder screw from the door edge.
  13. Mortice lock — mount the strike plate — align with the latch mechanism and secure to the door frame.

Good to know

  • Double-check measurements before drilling.
  • Use a level for consistent alignment across multiple units.
  • If you're unfamiliar with mortice installation, consult a locksmith or professional.
  • Make sure all moving parts operate smoothly before final tightening.
  • Dummy handles are decorative or pull-only — they don't engage latches or locks.

The finish

Five finishesbrass to night black

The Thaon Handle is available in brass, antique brass, black, silver, and nickel — a range that covers warm, neutral, and dark interiors. The knurling pattern holds its texture across all finishes. Antique brass will develop the most patina over time; black and nickel stay closer to their original tone with minimal maintenance.

Frequently asked

The Thaon Handle is machined from solid brass throughout — no plastic components. The weight and rigidity of solid brass make it noticeably different to handle than hollow or composite alternatives.

The Thaon Handle comes in five finishes: brass, antique brass, black, silver, and nickel. Choose based on the dominant metal tone in the room — warm (brass, antique brass) or cool-neutral (silver, nickel, black).

The Thaon Handle is available with an inside lock and emergency access — the standard configuration for bedrooms and bathrooms. Passage (no lock) and dummy (non-functional, for aesthetic use) configurations are also available.

The Thaon Handle is designed for interior doors — bedrooms, bathrooms, home offices, and passageways. It is suitable for exterior use only when fitted with a mortice lock and appropriate weatherproofing.

The inside lock uses a thumb turn on the interior face, which locks the door from inside. The emergency access on the exterior face accepts a coin or flat tool to release the lock from outside — standard for bathroom and bedroom privacy locks.

The escutcheon plate frames the lock mechanism on the door face, protecting the door surface and providing a clean finish around the cylinder. The Thaon Handle is available with a round or square escutcheon plate — choose based on the door style.

A square tongue latch is the spring-loaded bolt that holds the door closed when not locked. Contact our team to confirm latch inclusion for your specific configuration of the Thaon Handle.

Yes — the Thaon Handle's cylindrical form is non-directional and works on both right and left-handed doors without modification.

Yes — the Thaon Handle includes the necessary mounting hardware. Professional installation is recommended for mortice lock configurations. For standard passage and privacy setups, basic tools are sufficient.

Wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or acidic solutions, which can affect the finish. Antique brass develops a patina with use — this is intentional. Black and nickel finishes stay close to their original tone with occasional dry wiping.
