Inactive Door Handle Sets for Patio and Entry Doors | AmesburyTruth®️ Inactive Handle Sets

Inactive handle sets are specialized hardware designed for doors or panels that do not require active locking or latching, such as the stationary leaf in a pair of French doors or the inactive side of a double entryway. These handle sets are primarily used as trim or pull handles to match the active side, enhancing the appearance and function of patio doors, hinged entry doors, and certain sliding door systems. The AmesburyTruth®️ collection features genuine, precision-engineered parts trusted in both residential and commercial applications.

Use Cases and Compatibility

AmesburyTruth®️ inactive handle sets are widely used to provide a matching appearance on the non-active side of French doors, hinged patio doors, and certain sliding doors. These sets are essential when one door panel stays locked in place, while the other operates. Their non-handed construction means most models can be installed on either left- or right-handed doors, simplifying selection and installation. Compatible with major door frame materials and commonly used on doors equipped with multipoint locking hardware, such as the 800C multipoint inactive set, these products work seamlessly in many replacement and new installation scenarios.

Installation and Replacement Tips

Replacing an old or worn inactive handle set is typically straightforward. Always verify the backset, screw spacing, and handing requirements before purchase. Many models, such as the 100 Series left hand lever set and the 100 Series right hand lever set, are designed for easy installation with basic tools. For multipoint locks, ensure the trim set aligns correctly with the internal lock mechanism and check that the spindle and screw spacing match your existing hardware for smooth operation and a secure fit.
