A true heavy-duty steel door handle—built from solid steel, not styled to look like it. This slim single-post pull is fabricated from 1" structural-grade square steel tube mounted to a 2" wide backing plate, giving narrow doors and tighter spaces a clean architectural presence without sacrificing strength.
The proportions are simple and deliberate: one offset support post, a slim face-mounted plate, and a substantial square-tube grip. Both grip ends are welded steel and ground flush—there are no plastic plugs. The support-post-to-grip weld is also fully ground smooth for a quiet, refined finish.
Details
- Material: Structural-grade steel (1" square tube + flat plate)
- Plate: Slim 2" wide steel backing plate
- Construction: Welded, fully ground smooth, and finished by hand
- Mounting: Face-mounted backplate
- Grip clearance: 1.5" from the face of the backplate
- Use: Interior or exterior when coated
Sizing Note
Listed size = overall backing plate length
Handle grip = 2" shorter than listed size (for example, 10" overall = 8" grip)
Finish Options
Flat Black gives the handle a clean, controlled architectural finish and is the finish shown in the updated product images. Raw steel will patina naturally over time. Clear-coated options preserve the mill-scale character while adding protection.
Use Cases
- Sliding barn doors
- Narrow or low-profile doors
- Loft and rolling doors
- Interior or exterior entry doors
