What is The Long Handle? Modern Door Lever by Havolka

In modern interior design, door hardware has evolved from functional components to significant elements of style and ergonomics. A notable example of this evolution is "The Long" by Havolka—a door lever that reflects the trend towards longer, more user-friendly handles.

Design and Features

"The Long" is meticulously crafted to meet the growing demand for extended door levers. Measuring 138mm in length, it offers a more comfortable and accessible grip compared to standard, shorter designs. The handle is paired with a 63mm rose, making it ideal for covering 54mm holes commonly found in existing doors or for installation in new builds.

Available in two sophisticated finishes—smooth nickel and matte black—"The Long" seamlessly integrates into both contemporary and classic interiors. The smooth nickel finish creates a warm, inviting tone, while the matte black offers a bold, modern aesthetic.

Functionality and Versatility

Beyond its aesthetic appeal, "The Long" is designed for versatility. It is suitable for various applications, including:

• Passage Doors: Ideal for hallways, cupboards, and other non-locking doors.
• Privacy Doors: Equipped with a push-button snib and emergency release, making it perfect for bathrooms, bedrooms, and offices.
• Dummy Doors: Serves as a decorative or non-functional handle for fixed panels or wardrobe doors.
• External Doors: When paired with a deadlock, it becomes suitable for exterior applications.

Quality and Durability

Constructed from solid zinc, "The Long" ensures strength and longevity. Its robust build provides a premium feel, distinguishing it from hollow alternatives. This solid construction not only enhances durability but also offers a satisfying tactile experience with each use.

Why Choose "The Long" by Havolka?

For homeowners and designers seeking door hardware that combines style, comfort, and functionality, "The Long" stands out as an excellent choice. Its extended length caters to modern ergonomic preferences, while its sleek design and high-quality materials make it a valuable addition to any interior space.
