Profile
Round stainless steel backplates supplied with matching end caps, so the fixing is closed on both faces of the glass. Choose the handle/towel bar set for a bar with two fixing points or the pull set for a single knob. Order color-matched to the handle or as a split finish for deliberate contrast.
Installation
Fit a backplate on each face of the glass at every fixing before tightening the connection hardware supplied with the handle; the end cap closes the outer fixing. No additional drilling is required. Because the panel is fixed or sliding, the handle is single-sided and the set covers that one handle only.
Care
Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap and dry after use in wet rooms. Avoid abrasive pads, bleach and chloride cleaners on stainless or coated finishes.

Frequently asked
Which backplate set do I need for a sliding glass door handle?
Choose the Backplate Set With End Caps for a Single Handle / Towel Bar when the hardware has two fixing points, such as an I, J or U glass door handle. Choose the set for a Single Pull when you are fitting one JWL glass door knob. Each set covers one piece of hardware on one panel.
Do these backplates work on a swinging glass door?
They are intended for a single-sided handle on a fixed or sliding glass panel. For a swing door with handles on both faces, use the single-or-back-to-back backplate kit, which includes four backplates for a pair of handles. The glass thickness range is set by the handle’s connection hardware, not the backplate.
Can the backplates be a different finish from the handle?
Yes. Order color-matched to the handle or as a split finish, for example a Polished handle with Matte Black backplates. All five finishes are available: Brushed, Polished, Matte Black, Satin Brass PVD and White. Ordering handle and backplates together keeps the finish batches consistent.
Are backplates included with JWL glass door handles?
No. Glass door handles and knobs ship with their connection hardware for glass, and backplates are sold separately so you can choose kit size and finish. Add the backplate set to the same order to receive everything in one shipment.
What is the shipping time and warranty?
In-stock orders ship in 1–3 workdays from Vancouver, BC, to Canada and the US, with free shipping on orders over $500. Backplates carry a limited lifetime residential warranty on materials and workmanship (commercial: 5 yr brushed stainless, 2 yr coated). Full terms: jwlhome.com/warranty.
