They have beautiful ones. Of course the first one I looked at was $1165.75.

I found an emtek one that looks good and is well priced. Not dual finish but the shape is just what I'm looking for.

Vali & Vali will be where you will find that one.

Yes, they make it. That was the one I found that was $1165. Except it was over 10 times what I want to pay, it was perfect.

I'm assuming that the UK sizes won't fit. Otherwise, just get them shipped here.

I haven't exactly checked but the instructions keep saying UK sizes. I'll check more, if I wasn't keeping the same door I don't think it would such an issue.

UK ones could fit, but you will have to change the lock mechanism

That's a beautiful handle, and the price -- less than $9 at current conversion rates -- is amazing. Even if you pay quite a bit for shipping, you'd be money ahead compared to the crazy prices charged for designer hardware in the U.S.

Looks like the rose is slightly under 2 inches diameter, so that's less than US size. I would give them a call and ask what they recommend.

They actually sell that handle with latch and hinges for 8 pounds sterling.

I sent them an email so we'll see, if I don't hear soon I'll call. Such a good price and it is exactly what I'd like. Maybe I should buy a new door. lol

I'd get the handle and the lock along with the door hinges for a very reasonable price.

Let us know how you make out. It's very attractive and a great price.

Right now I'm thinking new door. Do you think the contractor will freak out because it's not like a normal US size?

If the contractor freaks out or has a problem, you need a different contractor. At most the contractor will have to drill slightly different size holes and maybe locate the backset slightly differently than normal. There will undoubtedly be instructions on hole size and location in the package. It should be no more difficult than a normal installation, and any contractor should have at least as extensive a set of hole saws of different diameters as I have in my own home shop.

This is the info on what it's all made of, what do you think?

Handles - Aluminium | Polished and Satin Chrome Finish
Hinges - Steel | Polished Chrome Plated Finish
Bathroom Lock - Zinc | Satin Nickel Plated Finish
Turn & Release - Aluminium | Polished and Satin Chrome Finish

The Auminum and zinc worry me for longevity.

I'm not sure what you are worried about. Aluminum is commonly used for door handles, including handles that take a lot of abuse, like cars and trucks. I would see it as a sign of quality, rather than something to worry about. It would be cast aluminum...not something cheap and light gauge like an aluminum screen door. And as for zinc, that is a common material used for lock internals as it is rust resistant

Please keep us posted. I may also be in the market for new door handles.....

"That was the one I found that was $1165." I literally just laughed out loud for a good minute there.

Any updates?

Hi nosoccermom,

We haven't received any enquires from 'ceezeecz' so we have been unable to answer his questions. Should you be interested in any model of our modern door handles then please let us know and we'll be happy to provide a quote for delivery to the United States along with any further information required.

Thanks,

HK

Sadly my husband nixed this design. He rarely voices opposition so I was quite surprised. His reasoning is that all the other door knobs in the hallway are that Baldwin oval egg shape in brass and he thinks this will clash. I don't agree but I will give this one to him as it happens so seldom. So I'll be getting that Baldwin oval knob in chrome. He liked that idea.

Next project where I need a door knob I'm definitely going with this one!

Hi ceezeecz,

Thanks for the update and hope you get to choose on the next project.

Regards,

HK
