One handle from the front door to every room
The same satin brass Bauhaus lever on the multipoint front door and on every internal door, so the hallway reads as one scheme.
A dark, almost-black front door, a warm white hallway with simple panelling, wide oak boards and white-painted spindles, with one lever shape in satin brass throughout. For a softer period feel, switch to antique brass Gio on a heritage green door.

How to match a front door to the rest of the house
The problem with front doors
Most front doors with a multipoint lock come with a standard handle from the door maker, so the first thing you touch on arrival rarely matches anything inside. Bauhaus and Gio are two of the few designs made as a multipoint handle and as internal latch, keyhole and bathroom sets, in the same finishes.
Why the Bauhaus shape
A straight round bar on a right-angled arm is simple enough to suit a modern hallway yet solid enough to look at home on a heavy front door. In satin brass it reads as warm and quietly expensive, and the square-cornered plates line up neatly with panelled doors.
Making the hallway one scheme
Repeat the lever on every door that opens off the hall, use the bathroom version where privacy is needed, and keep knocker, letter plate and numbers in the same satin brass. Even the hinges matter when doors stand open.
Getting it right
Check the lock centres
These multipoint handles suit locks with 92mm centres (spindle to cylinder). Measure your existing handle, screw to screw and spindle to keyhole, before ordering.
Left or right hand?
Stand outside the door. If the hinges are on the right, you need a right-hand handle; if they are on the left, choose left-hand.
Lift to lock
Multipoint handles are pushed up to engage the locking points, then the key is turned. Down opens the door, so the lever still feels like an ordinary latch.
Euro or keyhole inside
Use the latch version on most internal doors, the bathroom set for privacy, and the keyhole or euro version for a study or garage door that needs a lock.
