Reimagining Door Hardware: Bespoke Fixing Centres and Kits for Truly Flexible Handle Solutions

In contemporary architecture and interior fit-out, flexibility and precision are paramount. As designers push the boundaries of form and function, architectural ironmongery must evolve to keep pace. This article explores how bespoke fixing centres and adaptable fixing kits enable door handles to be specified and installed exactly as envisioned, without the usual constraints.

Meeting the Demands of Modern Design

Architects and shopfitters alike know that the smallest detail can define a space. The humble door handle, often overlooked, plays a crucial role in both the aesthetics and usability of doors across commercial, retail, and bespoke residential projects.

Yet, too often, stunning handle designs are compromised by standardised fixing centres that dictate positioning and limit creativity. Mismatched fixing points can lead to costly on-site adjustments, unsightly retrofits, or the abandonment of a preferred design altogether.

The Solution: Bespoke Fixing Centres

At ASH Door Furniture, we believe that design freedom shouldn’t end at the drawing board. By manufacturing door handles with bespoke fixing centres, we remove these constraints entirely. Every handle can be produced with fixing points tailored precisely to the door’s requirements, whether aligning with existing drillings in a heritage door or coordinating perfectly with a unique new design.

This approach means architects can specify exactly what they want, and shopfitters can install with confidence that the hardware will fit - first time, every time.

Adaptable Fixing Kits for Any Scenario

Bespoke fixing centres are only half the story. Our fixing kits complete the solution. Designed for versatility, they include all necessary components; screws, bolts, spacers, back-to-back fixings, and finishes that match or complement the handle itself.

This ensures a seamless installation on timber, glass, metal, or composite doors, whether the handle is single-sided, back-to-back, or fitted through varying door thicknesses. For shopfitters, this means fewer on-site modifications, less downtime, and flawless results.

Benefits for Architects & Shopfitters

Architects benefit through:

• Complete design freedom: No need to compromise aesthetics for practicality.

• Enhanced project value: Tailored hardware elevates bespoke interiors.

• Confidence in specification: Fixing kits ensure hardware is compatible with the door construction.

Shopfitters benefit through:

• Reduced installation time: No last-minute adjustments or return visits.

• Fewer surprises: Kits arrive with everything required.

• Quality assurance: Perfect alignment and secure fixings that last.

Craftsmanship Meets Flexibility

Whether it’s a contemporary retail fit-out, a boutique hotel renovation, or a one-of-a-kind residential build, our approach combines craftsmanship with precision engineering. Handles can be produced in any finish or material, brass, stainless steel, bronze, and then paired with bespoke fixings to match.

No two doors are the same; your handles shouldn’t be either.
