Can I ask what kind of door furniture you are getting? Learning from this experience which I am having now, if I were you (and I were getting pull-handles back-to-back) I would have them record in writing, exactly how you would like your door furniture installed. If it is done wrong, then there is no argument. Maybe I'll give Gainsborough a buzz and see what they have to say. Thanks. Btw, I like your plan! Re: Front Door Handles - Is it me or does this look wrong? 37Oct 29, 2009 4:06 pm Thanks RedIsotope. I am having a 1200mm wide entrance door and have chosen a combination pull handle front and lever rear. Not sure on the exact model numbers (I will be having a closer look...just not right now) - but it seems to be like the "Pull Handle + Lever" Image on this page: http://www.gainsboroughhardware.com.au/ ... mline.aspx P1T Read about my building experience: http://secondhomebuild.blogspot.com Dale Alcock Homes - 'The Nautilus' in Bletchley Park, Southern River - WA Read about my Clipsal C-BUS Home Automation Project: https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=20854 Re: Front Door Handles - Is it me or does this look wrong? 38Oct 30, 2009 12:33 pm This was really the kind of dramas we were facing when our SS told us about our door hardware. I'm glad that he contacted us before. We have the PMAD 104 door....so it has glass in it...and our issue was also with our long handles and our lock...which in our case was just the double deadlock. We worked out that we had to have our lock installed lower so that our long handles wouldn't be too high. I know it doesn't help you in the slightest as you have a mortice lock. But maybe consider changing your door handle to a shorter one, so that it looks more balanced?

Re: Front Door Handles - Is it me or does this look wrong? 39Oct 30, 2009 3:03 pm Hi overwhelmed. Thanks for you comments. Ours is a Corinthian door too so your comments here confirm to me that the lock does not indeed NEED to be in the center. In regards to the pull-handles, nah I doubt we could change them at all. The builder charged us an arm for them and I very much doubt they will credit us back if we chose something smaller. Hmmm...actually they might give us smaller cheaper handles for the same cost. I'm not going to accept that at this point in time. Re: Front Door Handles - Is it me or does this look wrong? 40Oct 30, 2009 8:23 pm RedIsotope Oh by the way, what are people's opinions on the orientation of the pull-handles? Bars inside or bars on the outside? Here is the link again: [Img] I definitely prefer the photo on the right with the bars to the outside.
