For doors that deserve a finish with genuine character, the Hendel & Hendel Newbridge Pull Handle Backplate in Oil Rubbed Bronze — 448mm hole centre format — is an exceptional choice. At 492mm in length, this extended backplate commands the door face with authority, and Oil Rubbed Bronze is the finish that gives it soul. Hand-finished with deep brown tones and subtle bronze highlights, this is a living surface that develops a unique patina over time — no two pieces are ever quite the same. The result is hardware that feels genuinely crafted, not merely manufactured.
