Product Overview

The Smiths Architectural Nova Latch Handle SC is a contemporary and practical interior door handle designed to provide both functional performance and modern styling. Featuring a satin chrome finish, this latch handle adds a subtle yet refined aesthetic to any residential or commercial setting. With its smooth, curved lever and solid construction, it is built for everyday use while maintaining a sleek and minimal appearance.

The handle is mounted on a 168mm x 41mm rectangular back plate and is designed for doors that do not require a locking function. It is ideal for passage or connecting doors, such as hallways, kitchens, lounges, and utility rooms. The handle incorporates a sprung mechanism, ensuring smooth return action after each use and minimizing wear on both the handle and the latch.

Key Features

• Lever on Back Plate Design
  The handle is mounted on a sturdy rectangular back plate that measures 168mm in height and 41mm in width. The clean lines and minimalist design make it suitable for a variety of modern and transitional interiors.

• Solid Zinc Construction
  Manufactured from robust solid zinc, the handle offers excellent strength and durability. It is corrosion-resistant and ideal for high-traffic areas where long-lasting performance is essential.

• Sprung Lever Mechanism
  Fitted with an internal spring mechanism, the handle returns smoothly to its original horizontal position after use. This reduces wear on internal door latch components and improves the longevity of the handle.

• Face-Fix Back Plate
  The back plate is face-fixed, with visible screw fixings for a traditional and secure installation method. Screws are aligned to ensure a balanced, symmetrical appearance once installed.

Finish: Satin Chrome (SC)

The Satin Chrome finish provides a contemporary brushed effect with a subtle sheen. It is ideal for coordinating with other satin chrome or brushed metal fixtures, such as light switches, taps, or hinges. The finish is low-maintenance, fingerprint-resistant, and suited to both domestic and commercial interiors.
