500 Series Framed Extended Handles
Topics:
- 500 Series unit needs extended framed handles
- How far from door does a standard framed handle stick out?
- How far out does an extended handle protrude?
- Raised Framed Panel Handles
Answer:
A standard framed handle sticks out from the front of a 500 Series door 1-1/4".
- The extended framed handle gives 3/4" more finger clearance to open the door when there is a raised panel installed on the door.
- A typical 3/4" raised panel with a standard framed handle would be difficult to grab the handle without making contact with the panel too.
- This is why the extended framed handle is recommended.
The part number for extended handles are as follows:
- 501 Models: part # EH501 is no longer available.
- Model 511: part # EH511
- Model 550: part # EH550
- Models 532, 542, 561 prior to serial # 1810000 : part # EH561
- Models 561 starting with serial # 1810000: part # 4132271
