The identical handles can be applied inside or outside on a pair of double doors next to each other or on a single door on opposite sides. They can also make cupboard doors and kitchen units look out of this world. The handle brackets are attached to the main plate by two fixings. The handles are fitted to the door with two long standard bolts (not supplied) suiting the thickness of the doors. Distance of the holes 14 cm, diameter holes 7 mm.
