Designer Handles And Hinges: It’s All In The Detail
We believe every door should be a work of art, right down to the smallest details. Among these details are door hinges and handles – some of the most important (but often overlooked) features to consider when designing or choosing a door.
Here, we take a closer look at our range of prestigious handle and hinge suppliers, exploring how their precise craftsmanship and outstanding quality make all the difference to a Deuren door’s overall form and function.
For minimalist, concealed hinges: SIMONSWERK
For more than 130 years, SIMONSWERK has been one of the most well-known manufacturers of door hinges and hinge systems for residential, entrance, and heavy-duty doors. Committed to high quality standards, the pioneering company has won many awards for its innovation.
Every Deuren door is completed with German engineered SIMONSWERK’s TECTUS® hidden hinge system, involving precise technology that exudes minimalism and perfection. In the company’s own words – “making something invisible is also design” – giving space to the more aesthetic elements of a Deuren door. This type of technically superior hinge disappears from view completely when the door is closed and can be adjusted in all directions to regulate in the case of building movement. What’s more, the magnetic latch combines a metal plate and magnetic catch to create a secure fastening for any door style.
For stunning Italian door handles: Mandelli1953
Deuren is proud to supply door handles from the prestigious Italian designer Mandelli1953.
For more than 70 years, Mandelli1953 has been designing and manufacturing exceptional door handles that balance technical precision with artistic design. Originally inspired by a love of brass, the company now crafts handles in a remarkable range of materials, from velvety concrete to timeless marble, refined leather and luxurious mother-of-pearl.
Visionary designers are united with expert artisans to bring these distinctive designs to life through a meticulous production process. Forging, turning and die casting are combined with grinding, vibrating, polishing and satin finishing, along with galvanic and metallisation (PDV) treatments and painting. The result is a collection of door handles that elevate everyday functionality into a refined design feature.
For door furniture with visual impact: Philip Watts Design
Based in Nottingham, Philip Watts Design has creativity at its core – and it shows. Its handmade handles are artworks in themselves, with a range of designs varied enough to complement any home’s aesthetic. From organic shapes to nature-inspired forms, baroque to rock ‘n’ roll, there really is no limit. See how an eye-catching Deuren front door was enhanced with visually dramatic Philip Watts LittleJohn handles in satin brass.
An all-too-often overlooked feature, there’s a lot of design power in door handles and hinges. Choose wisely and they’ll beautifully complement your luxury doors and your home’s overall aesthetic. From the refined finishes of Mandelli1953 to the sculptural nature of Philip Watts Design, the right hardware can elevate a door from functional to exceptional.
