The market has seen a seen a soar in demand for steel style doors. The sleek, design originates in the 1800s, but this industrial styling has been given a renaissance in recent years and is now used to make a statement of slender elegance on bifolds, external doors as well as internal screens.

Perhaps best known as Crittall® or heritage style in the UK, these doors can be categorised by minimalistic slim frames to create light and transform space in both contemporary and heritage properties. In order to best capture this feeling of elegance, we believe steel look doors must be partnered with statement ironmongery that mirrors the craft and quality of the doors themselves.

Inspiration: Create the effortless, modern feel provided by steel style doors. Our above mood board shows examples of how they can connect the inside with out or create light and space with internal screens.

Details matter

An architect recently told us that ironmongery is like a stunning brooch on a perfect black dress, playing a critical role in pulling the project together. As the key touchpoint for all occupants and visitors, hardware creates the lasting impression of the quality of the door itself.

Coastal Group have two designs proving especially popular in embodying the style and elegance required for steel door applications, the Mitre and Opera Lever Door Handles.

Whether it’s the warmer hues of PVD Satin Brass or the sleek PVD Satin Black finish that catches your eye, both the Mitre and Opera handles feature solid stainless steel levers to convey the reassuring feeling of quality on the touch. Key benefits of the lever handles include:

  • Beautifully crafted from the finest 316 Marine Grade Stainless steel for exceptional corrosion resistance.
  • Durability tested to grade 7 (200,000 cycles).
  • Dual sprung - Suitable for multipoint door locks.

Quality from front door to back

Another important benefit of our handles is the ability to be suited with other door and window furniture, creating a high-quality matching aesthetic from front door to back door.

Our lever handles can be perfectly suited with matching escutcheons, window espagnolette handles and used on both external doors as well as internal screens.
