48" hardwood back to back handle

One pair of 48" long door handles designed to install back to back. These add a luxurious touch to entry doors, interior non-latching doors, sliding doors, and more. Our handles are 100% handmade in the USA.  

We set aside the best of our hardwood stock for these handles and we produce them in small batches. After sculpting the wood to shape, each handle goes through an extensive hand sanding process involving four successive grits of sandpaper.  

We offer two wood species: walnut and  mahogany.
*Walnut has a mix of dark brown and light brown tones. It will display more "character" in variation of grain pattern and tones than the other 3 options.

*Mahogany has a tight grain and a dark reddish color. It is the most consistent in color and grain pattern of the two options, and is by far the most luxurious choice (in our opinion). We use a quartersawn mahogany which keeps the grain running in a vertical pattern. 

We offer these in two finish options: 
*Unfinished (raw wood ready for your choice of finish) This is a good option if you need to stain the wood to a specific color, or if you need to apply a "marine finish" for exterior use.

*Finished (several coats of hand-applied clear polyurethane) Our finished handles go through a seven-step hand finishing process that takes 3 days to complete. We use a clear polyurethane that brings out the natural color and beauty of the wood. No stains are used. Hand sanding and buffing between coats results in a silky smooth finish that will stand up to years of daily use. If you are choosing the finished option, it may take up to 3 business days to prep your handle for shipping. 

As wood is a natural material, the wood tone and grain pattern will vary slightly. We will be careful to select handles that match as closely as possible. If you would like a picture of the actual handles you will receive prior to purchase, we would be happy to do that for you. Just send us a message.

One handle will have two threaded inserts (consider this the exterior handle).  The other handle will have two countersunk holes (consider this the interior handle). You will need to drill two 5/16" diameter holes through your door for installation. The screw holes are approximately 34 and 15/16" apart, but verify the exact measurement before drilling.  To install, insert the screws through the interior handle, through the door, and screw into the threaded inserts in the exterior handle. A common hex wrench is the only tool needed for tightening. We provide two 4" long screws for installation. These will work for door thicknesses between 1.25" and 1.5".   The heads of the screws will be visible on the interior handle (see pictures). You can choose between black screws or stainless steel screws.  If your door requires a different length screw, you can use any 1/4-20 machine screw which is available at all hardware stores.

Dimensions: Length=48", width 1  1/4", depth 2  3/8" (from door to outer edge)

Your handles will be packaged in a custom foam insert (also made by us) to ensure they arrive in perfect condition. Shipping is free to the USA. If you are choosing the finished option, it may take up to 3 business days to prep your handle for shipping.  These handles are truly a labor of love and we hope you will love them as much as we do!
