Brass Pull Handles: Sizes, Weights and M8 Fixing

Updated 2026-11-05 · RAYEN 雷茵

We list 7 brass pull handles in polished brass. They are made for heavy, formal doors: hotel entrances, villas, hardwood double doors. The material is brass, and if a catalogue or a seller calls the same thing pure copper, ask for the material in writing.

What sizes do brass pull handles come in?

All of these are ornamental handles, so read two lengths, not one. Overall length is the size on the door. Grip length is the part that fits a hand.

• T915: 515mm long, 260mm of grip, P=330mm, 70mm plate width, 2.4kg.
• T812: 565mm long, 257mm of grip, P=425mm, 68mm plate width, 3.3kg.
• T921: 762mm long, 424mm of grip, P=620mm, 95mm plate width, 4.7kg.

On T812 fewer than half of the 565mm is grip. The rest is the curved arms and end details. Do not size a brass handle by comparing its length to a plain bar.

Which brass handles are the heaviest?

• T3103: 800mm long, P=510mm, Ø38mm grip on Ø32mm stems, 6.5kg.
• T811: 1000mm long, P=746mm, Ø32mm grip, 5.9kg, with lengths from 600mm to 1000mm.
• T9972: 645mm long, P=425mm, 26mm grip, 65mm projection, 2.5kg. This is the lightest of the bar-style designs.

Weight matters in two places. It adds load to the door, and it adds cost to the freight. For the heavier models, confirm whether your quotation counts one handle or a pair before you work out a shipment. If you plan a pair of doors with two handles each, count four.

How do brass pull handles fix?

Every model in the table with a fixing size uses M8:

• Timber door: φ10mm hole.
• Glass door: φ16mm hole.

The fixing passes through the door at each foot, so check the door thickness and tell us whether you want back-to-back handles or a single handle. The details are in how pull handles fix to the door. T3103 and T9972 show a stand-off foot on the drawing. T812, T915 and T921 fix through a wider round end, which is why they list a plate width.

How do you choose a brass handle for the door?

• Door height and panel layout. On a panelled door the ends of the handle should land on the stile, not across a moulding. Measure the flat width of the stile against the plate width: T921 needs 95mm of flat face, and T812 needs 68mm.
• Projection. The curved arms on T812 and T921 stand further off the door than a plain handle. Take the figure from the drawing and check it against a wall, a return or a neighbouring leaf.
• Pairs. On double doors the handles sit mirror-image in the middle. Check that the widest parts clear each other when the doors close.
• Style family. The photos show the difference better than any word: T3103 has a scrolled top, T921 has round end details, and T9972 is a reeded bar with small finials.

What about the finish?

Every model is listed in polished brass. Keep every part of a door in that one finish: handle, lever, hinge knuckle, door stop. If you need another finish, ask before you specify, since it has to be confirmed model by model. Ask too how the surface is protected, and pass the care advice to your customer, because a polished brass surface changes with handling.

Which brass handles should you confirm first?

Ask us for the projection of T811 before you design around it, and for the CSM1 drawing before you quote it.

If you need a recessed pull rather than a surface handle, PRE150 is also brass, with a 50 × 180mm face plate for a door 40mm thick, with a 45mm version available.

What should you measure before ordering?

• Door thickness at the handle line.
• Flat width of the stile at both feet.
• Clear distance from the door to any wall or return when fully open.
• Timber density or core at the feet. A heavy handle needs solid material behind it.
• On a replacement, centre to centre of the old holes.

What to write on your order

Write one line per door: model, overall length, P, polished brass, M8, door material and thickness, back-to-back or single, and the number of pairs. For example: T921, 762mm long, P=620mm, polished brass, M8, timber door φ10mm, back-to-back pair. If you are matching an existing door, send a photo and the old centres, and we will tell you which model comes closest.
