Round or Square Pull Handle: Same Holes, Different Bar

Updated 2026-11-05 · RAYEN 雷茵

Buyers often treat round and square as two product lines. In our pull handle range they are often one size in two sections. That helps you: you can decide the shape late, after the door and the holes are fixed.

Which round and square handles share the same holes?

Two pairs make this easy to check.

• G1105 and G1106: both 700mm long at P=640mm, with a 62mm projection, an Ø19mm stem, an M6 screw and a weight of 1.9kg. One bar is Ø22mm, the other 22 × 22mm.
• G1169 and G1171: both come in 300mm at P=275mm, 450mm at P=425mm and 600mm at P=575mm, with a 65mm projection and an M8 screw. One bar is Ø25mm, the other 25 × 25mm. The listed weights are 0.8kg and 1kg.

So the first pair has one weight for both and the second shows the square bar 0.2kg heavier. Check the figure for your own model, not a rule of thumb.

Other square bars include T1172 at 25 × 25mm, T58 on long doors, and G1211 at 22 × 22mm. T69 is listed in both, 25 × 25mm square and Ø25mm round. Say which one you want.

How do you read a grip section?

The way the size is written tells you what you can rely on.

• Ø22mm: round. The figure is the diameter.
• 25 × 25mm: square. Width and depth are equal.
• 32 × 16mm: a flat bar, as on T630. T685 is 40 × 18mm and G1195 is 20 × 40mm.
• 25 × 14mm, oval: T561. G1189 is a 20 × 24mm oval.
• 25mm with no sign: a width only. The shape is on the drawing.

That last one catches people. T1111 is listed at 28mm, and its photos show a square-edged timber bar, not a tube. Many models print a bare 25mm or 22mm, so open the drawing on the model page before you quote it as a round tube.

One model can even change section with length. G1111 is listed at 22mm at 600mm long, Ø22mm at 900mm long and 30mm at 2000mm long. The drawings show a square bar on the shortest and a round bar on the 900mm length. If you switch length, check the section again.

How do you choose between round and square?

Start from what is already on the door.

• Match the lever. A square rose and a square-section pull read as one set. SF-15 sits on a 53 × 53mm square plate; S-01 sits on an Ø53mm round rose.
• Match the door. Flat, frameless doors suit a square or flat bar; a round bar softens a heavy door. This is taste. Hold a sample.
• Think about the hand. A round bar feels the same from any angle. A square bar has edges, so ask for a sample if the handle will take heavy daily use.
• Think about alignment. Flat faces show a twist more than a round tube does, so a square bar needs its feet drilled in a true line.
• Think about the finish. One finish across the set. If the customer chooses black, every part on the door is black.

Does a square bar need a different hole?

Not on the pairs above. Hole size follows the screw, and the screw is the same in each pair. Still, check every model. G1105 uses M6, while G1169 uses M8. The figures are in the glass door handle hole guide.

What should you measure first?

• The hand. If you have a sample, hold the bar size you plan to order. The step from Ø22mm to Ø25mm is easy to feel and hard to imagine.
• The gap. Check the projection and the clear space behind the bar, especially with a wide flat section.
• The door. Centre distance and length come first. See the door pull handle size chart.

What to write on your order

Write the section in full, with the sign. For example: G1171, 450mm long, P=425mm, 25 × 25mm square, M8, satin stainless. Never write 25mm alone. If you want a section we have not listed on that model, send a sketch and we will tell you what the mould allows.
