Back to Back Mounted Door Handles

Arthur Harris section index

Arthur Harris Back to Back Mounted stainless steel door handles

Arthur Harris continues to dazzle us with the custom options of their door handles. The Back to Back Mounted handles allow you to have a handle on each side of a door directly opposite each other. The standoffs (legs) on one handle are modified to accept the through-bolt to slide into the legs and then tighten down with set screws tightened by an Allen wrench. The through-bolts will thread into the first handle by turning them into the legs. Then they will pass through the holes in your door, the second handle you slide in place and then lock it down.

NOTE: When using the part numbers on THIS page, the Back-to-Back handles will be made as Standard Style handles with a CTC of 2-1/2" less than OL, and the normal standoff height. If requiring anything MORE CUSTOM, please use our Quotation Request Form
The Back to Back handles are available in bar diameters from the 1/2" all the way to the 1". The smaller BF series is not made in the back to back option. As with their standard handles, the Back to Back can also be made in any length. If you have pre-existing screw holes bored through a door, the CTC can be made to accommodate existing holes. The 1/2" and 5/8" bar sizes will come with #8x32 through-bolts. The 3/4", 7/8", an 1" diameters will come with a bigger and stronger 1/4x20 through-bolts. Through-bolts supplied will be pre-cut to a length that you specified for your door thickness. So it is important to know how thick of a door you plan to mount the two handles upon. Handles can be mounted to passage way doors, closet doors, glass doors, barn doors, or wherever you require a set to be.

Generally, on a typical kitchen cabinet door, such a mounting would never be needed. This concept is suited for doors where entry or exit occurs from both sides.

All handles are made to the sixteenth of an inch in length. Order any length that you require. In most cases, Back to Back handles are mounted vertically on doors, this would seem to be the more natural way to grab them. We suppose in some applications, a horizontal mount could occur. That would be up to you.

The BN Series, 7/8" bar, is certainly the most popular of the 3 larger diameters for the back to back application. They have a good feel when you grab them, they look aesthetically pleasing, and they are very strong in longer lengths. The BS Series, 1/2" bar, also seems to be extremely popular in hotel renovations, especially in a 12" length. Just an observation of ours - based on quite a few sales too. We do suggest, in applications where a door will sustain higher traffic use, best to use one of the three largest diameters due to the 1/4x20 through bolts. It is a far stronger mount and will hold up to tugging far better. And for heavier doors, it is highly advised. For lighter use, and where smaller diameters are desired, the 1/2" and 5/8" bars are fine.

A Back to Back SET consists of the two handles, the leg modification on one handle for the set screws, through bolts (for your door thickness), and the Allen wrench. When it comes to our Arthur Harris volume discounts, we will work with you a bit to tweak them to make larger order pricing better.

If you have any questions prior to ordering, please call or e-mail us.
Arthur Harris Back to Back mounted stainless steel handles

Dimensions and Bar Diameters:

Arthur Harris five stainless steel bar diameter selections
  • The BS Series (most popular) bar is 1/2" dia., standoffs (legs) are 3/8" dia., overall height 1-1/2"
  • The BJ Series bar is 5/8" dia., standoffs (legs) are 1/2" dia., overall height 1-5/8"
  • The BL Series bar is 3/4" dia., standoffs (legs) are 5/8" dia., overall height 1-3/4"
  • The BN Series bar is 7/8" dia., standoffs (legs) are 5/8" dia., overall height 1-7/8"
  • The BD Series (largest) bar is 1" dia., standoffs (legs) are 3/4" dia., overall height 2"

Standoffs are meant to yield a 1" underside clearance. This can be altered too upon request. Sometimes a favorable option for larger diameters when these handles are used in commercial applications.

Facts about each Series:


  • Pull ends are machined beveled for a smooth feel.
  • All overall lengths are made to the sixteenth of an inch. You do NOT need to round off to whole numbers. Order special sizes, it's okay!
  • All standoffs (legs) are 1" tall by default, thus you have 1" of space on the underside of the handles. Standoffs seat into the handles for a very strong fit.
  • All CTC (center to centers) are 2-1/2" less than OL (overall length) - as the default ratio of making them.
  • Custom CTC measurements other than the default 2-1/2" ratio, and custom standoff heights can also be done. Set up charges "might" apply on orders containing many changes, or really tall standoffs.
  • A third standoff (leg) will most likely be added to handles at 32" for the BS, 32" for the BJ, 40" for the BL, 48" for the BN, and 60" for the BD series. If your handle selections are just a little longer than that schedule, a third leg can be omitted by your request. Everything is custom and thus there is great flexibility is setting up your order.
  • Appropriate length through-bolts will be supplied with each pair of handles for the door thickness you need. The BS and BJ series use #8x32 machine bolts. The BL, BN, and BD larger diameters will have 1/4x20 through bolts - much stronger in anticipation of use on larger doors or in commercial applications.
  • PLAN FOR a 2 to 4 week production time for most Back to Back Mounted handle orders. A bit longer on very large orders.

How to place your order, or request a quotation first:

NOTE FIRST: This page is for the Back-to-Back mounted handles in the "standard" style handle. And with the STANDARDIZED OL to CTC ratio of 2-1/2". Which means you select your OL (overall length), and the CTC is made 2-1/2" less than OL. If you need more specialized CTC's, thus not following the 2-1/2" rule, you can make a quotation request first by using our quotation form. Pricing is the same since handles are priced by the length. So you can look at pricing below. But the quotation form has data entry fields allowing you to type in your OL and CTC measurements.

Now, how to use the part numbers below to place an order:

  1. Decide upon which bar diameter(s) you would like to use.
  2. Use the drop down menu to select your WHOLE number first.
  3. Then a second drop down menu allows you to select your fraction from 0" to 15/16".
  4. The price will update as you select different lengths.
  5. As the handles get longer, they do get more expensive.
  6. After adding a selection to your cart, you can elect to continue shopping and it should bring you back to this page to make additional length selections.
  7. When completing your cart, YOU MUST LET US KNOW your door thickness. Use the Comments field on the form.
  8. Questions? Please call or e-mail us.
  9. If you forget anything, we will review with you first before placing your order with Arthur Harris.

First shown, the BS Series, 1/2" bar diameter and the BJ Series 5/8" bar diameter

For lengths from 6" up to 48". Doubtful that anyone would want these smaller diameter bars in a length over 48". So for these two sizes, maximum length is 48".
