Front Door Handles That Elevate Every Entry

Front Door Handles: Elevating First Impressions with the Tuscany Lever Handle by Apollo Design

When it comes to crafting a project that commands attention from the first step inside, front door handles play a far more critical role than many give credit for. As both the first physical touchpoint and a key visual element of any home or commercial space, the right front door handle can subtly communicate architectural intent, style, and quality before a single word is spoken.

At Apollo Design, we understand that great design begins at the threshold. That’s why our Tuscany Lever Handle with Euro cut-out has become a go-to specification for architects, interior designers, and builders seeking to deliver both elegance and enduring performance.

Timeless Design, Modern Functionality

The Tuscany Lever Handle is more than just a piece of hardware—it's a carefully considered design element that balances proportion, tactility, and precision. Its subtly tapered shaft, coupled with ring detailing at the base, creates a silhouette that complements both traditional façades and transitional entryways.

Whether your project leans into a Hamptons aesthetic, a French Provincial revival, or a contemporary reinterpretation of classic form, the Tuscany collection has been thoughtfully developed to enhance a broad spectrum of architectural styles.

Versatile Plate Options to Suit Any Project

Understanding that no two doors—or designs—are the same, Apollo Design offers the Tuscany Lever Handle in two plate formats to suit a variety of visual and functional requirements:

• Traditional Plate:

  • Dimensions: 256mm x 45mm
  • Plate thickness: 9mm
  • Overall projection: 54mm
  • Ideal for heritage-inspired entries or where vertical emphasis is desired.

• Rectangle Plate:

  • Dimensions: 250mm x 43mm
  • Plate thickness: 9mm
  • Overall projection: 54mm
  • A more contemporary alternative that lends itself to refined modern schemes.

Both options are engineered to meet the expectations of professionals and homeowners alike, with quality brass construction and precision-machined detailing that withstands the demands of everyday use.

A Flexible Approach to Locking Configurations

The Tuscany Lever Handle comes standard with an 85mm euro cut-out, making it the perfect choice for residential entry doors requiring euro cylinders. However, we also recognise the versatility required in commercial applications, which is why the cut-out can be customised to suit oval cylinders or alternate locking systems.

This flexibility ensures the Tuscany lever can be specified across a range of applications—from family homes to boutique retail fit-outs—without compromising on appearance or usability.

Premium Finishes Designed to Last

Material finish is often where design cohesion either flourishes or falters. At Apollo Design, we offer the Tuscany collection in five luxurious finishes, each selected to complement a wide array of hardware, fixtures, and fittings:

• Matt Black – bold, minimalist, and perfect for modern statements
• Satin Brass – a soft, contemporary gold tone with wide design compatibility
• Antique Brass – ideal for traditional homes or vintage-inspired palettes
• Chrome Plate – bright, reflective, and timeless
• Polished Brass – rich and warm with classic heritage appeal

Each finish is meticulously applied to ensure consistency across plates, levers, and accessories—ensuring a seamless specification from concept to completion.

Why Front Door Handles Deserve More Consideration

It’s easy to overlook the importance of front door handles in the design process, especially when there are so many other details to manage. But experienced professionals know the power of cohesion—and the front door sets the tone.

The Tuscany Lever Handle delivers more than just style. Its tactile quality, generous projection, and finely balanced weight make for an intuitive user experience, while its proportions and material quality bring a sense of prestige that resonates from the very first interaction.
