Plug-in handle for doors in Stainless Steel Brushed Satin Matt

Architect Jürgen Engel has come up with a range of door and window handles that are single-mindedly geared towards the needs of modern civic/commercial construction and deliver maximum visual continuity. Conspicuously, the geometry of the various handles for doors is virtually identical to that of the window handle.

Coherent down to the last detail

Urban planning, architecture, product design: Jürgen Engel tacks between grandness of scale and fineness of detail on a daily basis. It was only logical, therefore, that he should address himself to the point of first contact with a building, i.e. the door handle. His FSB 1271 product collection offers the wherewithal for designing modern structures in a rigorously coherent manner. Conspicuously, the geometry of the various handles for doors is virtually identical to that of the window handle. With its flat curving front face and gently rounded area at the back, FSB 1271 fuses precision and comfort.

Alongside lever handles for flush and narrow-frame doors, an EN 179 variant with return to door is also available. Rounding the range off are plug-in handles for doors and windows, a fitting for glass doors and our classic window handles.

Cranking reassessed

A perfectly matching frame-door lever handle will in the best of circumstances be the crowning glory of any heavy-duty range of hardware. This is certainly the case with the new FSB 1271 model by the architect Jürgen Engel. In collaboration with FSB, he has re-interpreted and aesthetically enhanced the styling of cranked frame-door handles.

The cranking in FSB 1271 is confined to a slight adjustment of the transition radius between the handle’s neck and grip. The basic design of the standard lever-handle range is thus systematically extended to narrow-frame doors – whilst simultaneously having account to the specific requirements and standards governing narrow door stiles
