First of all, an aesthetic function: being a sort of backdrop, an extension of the door handle, it creates the effect of one whole integrated piece, with strong expression and substance.
Secondly, a technical function: its presence prevents the door handle from touching the door and therefore avoids the risk of hitting and damaging it.
With the aim of allowing the use of the horizontal plate with all the door handles in the catalogue, two versions are made: a rectangular one and an oval one.
Tested according to the resistance test (DIN EN 1906), they exceeded 200,000 cycles, resulting in the 4th grade of classification namely suitable to heavy use. In fact, the test was extended up to 1,000,000 cycles, which were easily exceeded.
Both versions are available in all the finishes listed in the catalogue.
