Introduction

A pull handle is often the very first piece of hardware a visitor touches, which makes it one of the most important design decisions on any entrance door. The EuroArt Hexara Door Pull Handle was built around that first impression, drawing on hexagonal geometry to create a handle that feels precise, bold, and unmistakably considered.

If you are specifying a brass door pull handle for a main entrance, shopfront, or statement internal door, Hexara is worth understanding in detail. Here is what makes it distinctive, how to choose the right size and finish, and what to check before you order.

Geometric Beauty, Redefined: The Hexara Story

Hexara takes its inspiration from the hexagon – a shape long associated with precision, structure, and natural efficiency. The series translates that geometry into clean lines and intricate detailing, giving the handle a bold silhouette without ever feeling heavy-handed.

It is designed to work equally well in contemporary architecture and more classic settings, which is unusual for a strongly geometric design. That versatility comes from balancing a confident structural form with restrained, precise detailing rather than excessive ornamentation.

Key Features and Specifications

• Material: Solid brass, offering strength, weight, and long-term durability.
• Diameter: 25mm, giving a substantial, confident grip suited to entrance doors.
• Available lengths: 400mm, 600mm, and 1000mm.
• Centres: 305mm, 505mm, and 905mm, corresponding to each length option.
• Finish options: Brushed Nickel, Gun Metal, Matt Antique Brass, and Satin Champagne Gold.
• Fixings: Supplied with bolt-through fixings for a secure, long-term installation.
• Unit: Sold individually (each).

The three length and centre combinations mean Hexara can be specified for anything from a single internal statement door to a full-height entrance pull on a commercial or residential façade.

Understanding Length and Centres

For anyone specifying pull handles for the first time, it helps to separate two measurements that are often confused. Length is the total size of the handle itself, while centres refers to the distance between the two fixing points that attach it to the door.

Hexara’s three options scale together: the 400mm handle uses 305mm centres, the 600mm handle uses 505mm centres, and the 1000mm handle uses 905mm centres. Choosing the right combination depends on the door’s height, the position you want the handle to sit at, and the overall proportions of the entrance.

As a general guide, shorter lengths suit standard residential doors, while the 1000mm option is better suited to taller commercial entrances, glazed doors, or statement architectural openings where a longer pull reinforces the sense of scale.

Choosing the Right Finish

Hexara’s four finishes span both cool and warm tones, giving genuine flexibility across different design schemes.

Brushed Nickel offers a clean, neutral finish that suits almost any interior style, from contemporary to transitional. Gun Metal brings a darker, more industrial character, well suited to loft-style or architecturally bold entrances. Matt Antique Brass adds warmth for traditional or heritage-influenced settings, while Satin Champagne Gold introduces a refined glow popular in modern residential and boutique commercial interiors.

Since entrance pull handles are highly visible and often specified alongside matching kick plates or door furniture, it is worth confirming finish consistency across the full door set before finalising an order.

Pull Handles vs Lever Handles: What’s the Difference

Pull handles and lever handles serve different purposes, even though both sit on a door. A lever handle operates the latch mechanism and is used on internal doors that need to open and close repeatedly throughout the day. A pull handle like Hexara, by contrast, is typically fixed and non-operational, used on entrance doors, glazed doors, or pivot doors that are opened by pulling rather than by turning a mechanism.

This distinction matters when planning a full hardware schedule. Entrance doors often pair a fixed pull handle on the outside face with a lever handle or push plate on the inside, giving a considered appearance from the street while keeping day-to-day operation practical from within.

Where Hexara Works Best

• Main entrance doors on villas, townhouses, and apartment buildings.
• Commercial shopfronts and office entrances seeking a strong first impression.
• Glazed or pivot doors, where longer pull lengths suit the scale of the opening.
• Statement internal doors in hospitality or retail interiors.

Installation Considerations

Hexara is supplied with bolt-through fixings, meaning the handle is secured with fixings that pass fully through the door for a stronger, more permanent fit than surface-mounted screws alone. This is standard practice for entrance-level pull handles, which are subjected to far greater daily force than internal lever handles.

Before ordering, confirm the door thickness against the bolt-through fixing length, and double-check the centres measurement against your door’s actual drilling or preparation, particularly on retrofit projects where existing holes may not align with a different handle design.

Buying Tips for Different Users

Homeowners choosing a single entrance handle should prioritise proportion first – measure the door height and width before selecting a length, since an undersized pull can look lost on a large door, while an oversized one can overwhelm a smaller frame.

Architects and designers specifying across multiple properties or units benefit from standardising on one finish and length combination early, keeping later hardware schedules simpler and ensuring visual consistency across a development.

Contractors and retailers should confirm bolt-through fixing lengths against actual door thickness on site before bulk ordering, since door core materials and thicknesses can vary significantly between projects.

Conclusion

The EuroArt Hexara Door Pull Handle brings genuine architectural intent to an entrance, combining hexagonal-inspired geometry with solid brass construction and a finish range that suits both contemporary and classic settings.
