Yes, the Havolka Long Handle is designed to fit most standard doors. It features a 63mm rose, which easily covers 54mm holes — a common size for existing doors. This makes it ideal for retrofitting handles without requiring additional adjustments.

Additionally, the Havolka Long Handle is perfect for use on new doors, offering flexibility for both renovations and new installations.

Smooth Nickel is a warm, modern finish that sits between satin nickel and brushed nickel. It offers a softer, more refined look — not as flat as satin nickel and not as shiny as brushed nickel.

This finish aligns with current trends in tapware and fittings, making it a popular choice for contemporary interiors. Unlike traditional brushed nickel, which can appear too reflective, our custom Smooth Nickel finish provides a balanced, elegant aesthetic that has quickly become a customer favorite.

A passage set is a type of door handle or lever that allows the door to open and close freely without a locking mechanism. It features a latch to keep the door closed but does not have a lock.

Passage sets are commonly used for bedroom doors, unless there is a specific requirement for privacy. They are also used in hallways, closets, laundry rooms, and other areas where locking isn’t necessary. This makes them a practical option for spaces where easy access is preferred.

A privacy set is a type of door handle or lever that includes a simple locking mechanism, typically used on bedroom and bathroom doors where privacy is needed. Unlike an entrance set, it doesn’t require a key to lock or unlock.

Privacy sets have a push-button snib on the inside rose to lock the door, while the outside has an emergency release slot or pinhole that allows access in case of an emergency. This makes privacy sets ideal for areas where security isn’t essential, but privacy is required.

Yes, you can! If your door already has a 54mm hole, you can easily install the Havolka Long Handle by following the included instructions. The handle is designed to fit perfectly over a 54mm hole with its 63mm rose, making it a straightforward DIY project.

If you’re installing the handle on a new door or a door with a smaller hole, it may require drilling or adjustments. In this case, we recommend hiring a professional to ensure precise alignment and a clean finish.

Havolka Long handles are crafted from solid zinc, ensuring strength, durability, and a premium feel.

This sturdy build not only enhances the tactile experience but also ensures long-lasting performance.
