Frequently Asked Questions
What products are included in the ERA Decorative Range?
The ERA Decorative Range includes entrance door handles in lever-lever and lever-pad configurations across inline and offset backplate options; dummy lever handles and exterior blank plates; a midrail letterplate; a decorative urn door knocker available with or without an integrated spyhole; door numerals and letters; locking and non-locking casement window handles; and locking and dummy patio door handles.
All products are available in a choice of six finishes — chrome, gold, antique brass, satin nickel, antique black and white — and are designed to coordinate as a complete suite across the front door, windows and patio door of a property.
What finishes are available in the ERA Decorative Range?
The ERA Decorative Range is available in six finishes: chrome, gold, antique brass, satin nickel, antique black and white.
All products across the range — door handles, letterplate, knocker, numerals, window handles and patio handles — are finished to the same standard in each colour, ensuring a consistent match across the full suite regardless of which combination of products is specified for a given project.
Is the ERA Decorative Range suitable for PVCu and composite doors?
Yes. The ERA Decorative Range is designed and tested for use on PVCu and composite entrance doors.
Door handles in the range are configured for use with euro cylinder multi-point locking systems, which are the standard locking format for modern PVCu and composite entrance doors in the UK market.
The range is also suitable for casement windows and sliding patio doors, making it appropriate for specifying a coordinated hardware package across an entire property.
What is a dummy door handle and when is one needed?
A dummy door handle is a non-operational handle — one that is fixed in position and does not operate a locking or latching mechanism.
Dummy handles are used on entrance doors where the exterior handle is not mechanically required — typically because the door is operated from the outside using the cylinder alone, or where the specification calls for a handle on the exterior face purely for aesthetic reasons.
ERA's Decorative dummy lever-lever handle allows a consistent, coordinated appearance on the exterior of the door even where a fully operational handle is not required, maintaining the visual coherence of the complete door hardware specification.
What is an exterior door blank plate and when is it used?
An exterior door blank plate is a decorative plate that covers the backplate aperture on the exterior face of a door where a handle is not being fitted.
It is used on entrance doors where the exterior handle is omitted from the specification — either because the door is pulled shut by another means or because only the cylinder and thumb turn are required for operation.
The ERA Decorative blank plate is available in matching finishes to the rest of the range, ensuring the exterior face of the door remains visually consistent and well-finished even without a handle.
Can the ERA Decorative Range be used to coordinate door and window hardware across a whole property?
Yes — and this is one of the primary benefits of specifying the ERA Decorative Range.
The range covers entrance door handles, a letterplate, a knocker, numerals and letters, casement window handles and patio door handles, all in the same six finishes.
This means a trade installer can specify a single finish across the front door, all casement windows and the rear patio door — eliminating the finish mismatches that commonly occur when door and window hardware is sourced from different product ranges or suppliers.
For new build developers, housing associations and homeowners undertaking a full property renovation, this level of hardware coordination is a valued and increasingly requested specification outcome.
Does the urn door knocker in the ERA Decorative Range include a spyhole?
The urn door knocker is available in two versions — one without a spyhole and one with an integrated spyhole.
The spyhole version provides the traditional visual appeal of a decorative knocker combined with the practical security benefit of a wide-angle viewer, allowing occupants to see who is at the door before opening it.
Both versions are available in the same six ERA Decorative finishes and coordinate directly with the handle, letterplate and numerals in the range.
Are ERA Decorative window handles available in locking and non-locking versions?
Yes. ERA Decorative casement window handles are available in both locking and non-locking inline configurations.
The locking version incorporates a key-operated lock that prevents the handle from being turned when engaged, providing an additional layer of window security.
The non-locking version is suitable for applications where this additional security function is not required.
Both versions are available in the six ERA Decorative finishes and are designed to coordinate with the entrance door and patio door hardware in the range, giving fabricators and installers the option to extend the ERA Decorative aesthetic consistently to the casement windows of the property.
