Consistent across all Applications – Crafted to Last

FSB 1289 isn’t just a handle—it’s a full product family that spans multiple applications. Its consistent design language runs through door handles, window levers, glass-door fittings, lift-slide handles, and narrow-stile levers. It harmonizes beautifully with FSB’s sliding door pulls (FSB 42 4260–42 4265) and bar handles (FSB 66 6550–66 6552), reflecting their geometry with a flat front and gently contoured grip.

Crafted from durable aluminum or stainless steel, the FSB 1289 product family unites premium materials and precision craftsmanship with a strong sense of sustainable responsibility. Each finish is carefully calibrated to integrate seamlessly into a wide range of interiors: the polished, natural anodized aluminum variant (0105) lends an air of refined understatement, while the bead-blasted, black anodized version (0810) makes a bold architectural statement. The aluminum offering is complemented by two stainless steel finishes—brushed satin and high-gloss polished—ideal for projects demanding elevated durability and material aesthetics.
