A matched pair of straight ‘I’ bar handles in hand-welded solid 304 stainless steel, mounted back-to-back through a solid door, each projecting 2″ (51 mm) from its door face, in three lengths: 18 1/2″, 24 1/2″ and 30 1/2″ (18″, 24″ and 30″ center to center). The set is identical on both faces, so the door reads the same from either room — double doors, room dividers, closet and pantry doors seen from both sides. Designed and assembled in Vancouver, BC; in-stock orders ship in 1–3 workdays.

Profile
Both handles are the ‘I’: straight at both ends on a 1″ x 1/2″ D-section bar, so each face of the door carries one uninterrupted line. For a rounded profile on one side and squared on the other, see the ‘J’+’L’ back-to-back set; both sets share the same lengths, finishes and bar section.
Installation
The two handles bolt through the door to each other through a single set of holes, with no fasteners visible on either face. Hardware for solid doors 3/4″ to 2 1/4″ thick is included. Drill at the center-to-center spacing on the DWG or PDF drawing in Downloads. Optional colour-matched or split-finish backplates add 3/8″ per side; for glass doors, use the glass back-to-back sets.
Care
Solid 304 stainless steel resists corrosion in kitchens and bathrooms. Wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap and dry. Avoid chlorine-based cleaners and abrasive pads on the coated Matte Black, Satin Brass PVD and White finishes. Check thru-fixings once a year and snug them if the door has moved.
Frequently asked
Which length should I use on a standard 80″ interior door?
The 24 1/2″ set (24″ center to center) is the usual choice on an 80″ door, mounted with the grip centred about 36–42″ above the floor. Use 30 1/2″ (30″ C/C) for taller doors or a stronger vertical line, and 18 1/2″ (18″ C/C) on narrow closet or pantry doors.
Does this set work on glass doors?
No. This set is thru-bolted through solid wood or composite doors 3/4″–2 1/4″ (19–57 mm) thick. For 3/8″ and 1/2″ (10–12 mm) tempered glass doors, use the JWL glass back-to-back handle sets, which have the gaskets and fixings sized for glass.
How far does each handle project from the door?
2″ (51 mm) per side from the door face to the outside of the bar without backplates. With the optional colour-matched or split-finish backplates, 2 3/8″ (60 mm) per side including the backplate.
Can I mix finishes on the two sides of the door?
The set ships in one finish for both handles: Brushed, Polished, Matte Black, Satin Brass PVD or White. If the two rooms need different colours, order two single ‘I’ thru-bolt handles in different finishes, or contact JWL about a split-finish backplate. All JWL door handles and cabinet pulls share the same five finishes.
How quickly does it ship, and what is the warranty?
In-stock orders ship in 1–3 workdays from Vancouver, BC, to Canada and the US, with free shipping on orders over $500. JWL hardware carries a limited lifetime residential warranty on materials and workmanship; commercial installations are covered for 5 years on brushed stainless and 2 years on coated finishes.
