Euro Profile vs Oval Profile Options

When choosing a lockable door handle, one of the key considerations is the lock profile. Two of the most commonly used options are euro and oval profiles. While both locking profiles perform a similar function, each one offers distinct advantages depending on the type of door you have and what your design preferences are.

Euro profile is the most widely used lock profile in the UK. It features a rectangular keyhole shape and is compatible with a variety of euro cylinders and multi-point locking systems. This locking profile is also ideal for both internal and external doors.

Oval profile is another popular option in the UK. It features a rounded keyhole shape that provides a more traditional feel. While it works in a similar way to a euro lock, it is often chosen for its visual appeal and compatibility with more traditional-looking doors.

Internal Door Handles with Lock Mechanisms

Sometimes, internal doors also require a locking mechanism. For example, it’s not uncommon for bathroom doors, study rooms, and other living spaces to need a level of privacy or restricted access when in use.

In such situations, internal door handles with locks offer the perfect balance between function and style. And the good news is that at Brass Works, we stock an extensive range of lockable internal door handles, allowing you to choose hardware that perfectly matches your interior design and practical needs.

Choosing the Right Lock Profile for Your Doors

When choosing a lock profile for your doors, there are several key considerations that you need to take into account to ensure a good fit and smooth functionality. They include:

• Door type and location
• Handle compatibility
• Level of security required
• Aesthetic preference

Once you know the type of door handle with lock you’re looking for, you won’t have a problem finding an option that matches your exact requirements. And if you do have any issues, questions, or concerns, our team is always available to help you make the right decision.

Frequently Asked Questions About Door Handles with Locks

What's the difference between euro and oval profile locks?

Euro profile locks have a standard rectangular keyhole shape that is commonly used in doors across the UK and continental Europe. They’re a popular choice as they are compatible with various locking cylinders.

Oval profile locks are similar in function but feature a rounded design. Both types provide secure locking, with the choice often depending on your preferences in terms of style and existing door setup.

Can I use lockable door handles on any internal door?

Yes, you can. If you have a room where privacy or added security is needed - whether that’s your bathroom, study room, or bedroom, you can easily fit a lockable door handle to the internal door of that room.

Before you buy a lockable door handle for your internal door, make sure that the door is of the correct thickness and has the right latch configuration to accommodate the handle and lock type you’re planning to use.

Are bathroom door handles with locks different from standard ones?

Yes, they are. Bathroom door handles with locks feature an integrated privacy mechanism that is operated by a thumb turn or a button rather than a key. This allows users to easily lock and unlock the door from the inside.

Which finish is best for door handles with locks?

There is no right or wrong answer here. The best finish for door handles with locks will ultimately depend on your interior design style, the atmosphere you want to create, and your preferences in terms of maintenance.

Do black door handles with locks suit modern homes?

Black door handles with locks not only suit modern homes - they are actually one of the most popular options among homeowners who want to achieve a modern and cohesive look inside their home.

How do I measure for door handles with lock mechanisms?

When taking measurements for door handles with lock mechanisms, you need to check your door’s thickness, the backset (this is the distance from the edge to the centre of the keyhole), and the lock case size. These measurements will ensure the handle and lock align properly and will operate smoothly once installed.

Are chrome door handles with locks easy to maintain?

Chrome door handles with locks are very durable and easy to clean. All you’ll typically need to remove any marks and smudges is a soft, damp cloth. You should never use any abrasive cleaners as they can scratch the surface and dull the shine of the chrome finish over time.

Can I replace my existing handles with lockable door handles?

In most cases, you should be able to replace your existing handles with lockable door handles. It just depends on whether your current door has the correct cut-outs and dimensions for the new handle and lock type. Always check the backset, spindle size, and lock configuration before installation.
