Offset Pull Handles

What Are Offset Pull Handles? And Why You Might Want One on Your Door

Not all pull handles are built the same — and if you're after something that looks a bit sharper and feels better to use, then offset pull handles are worth a proper look.

These stylish handles are a bit of a favourite for modern homes, commercial fit-outs, and anyone looking to make their front door feel a bit more luxe. But what exactly is an offset pull, and why might you choose one over a standard handle?

Let’s break it down 

What Is an Offset Pull Handle?

An offset pull handle with the main part of the bar set off the side of the fixing points. This makes them easier to grab, more comfortable to use, and gives the whole setup a more architectural, designer look as there is more sensible space for placement of locks.

They’re a common sight on high-end entry doors, pivot doors, glass doors, or anywhere you want a sleek, modern feel.

Why Choose an Offset Pull Handle?

Here’s why offset pulls are popping up more and more on front doors across Australia:

Easier to use
That little bit of space makes a big difference. You get a better hold on the handle — especially handy on heavier doors, pivot doors, or if you're coming in with your hands full. They are especially handy for aluminium or glass doors where the door stiles can be too close to the door frame for a straight pull, the offset design prevents your hand from hitting the door frame when grabbing the handle.

Better for Glass Doors
Because the mounting brackets are offset, they are perfect for framed glass doors as the stiles tend to be narrower.

Great for All Ages
Whether it’s kids, older adults, or just someone juggling shopping bags, an offset handle is simply easier to use thanks to its grabbing clearance.

Perfect for Large Sliding Doors
The offset design moves the centre of balance on a sliding door more towards the centre giving you greater leverage and making opening easier. 

Where Can You Use An Offset Pull Handle?

Offset pull handles can be used pretty much anywhere you’d install a regular pull, including:

• Front entry doors
• Oversized or pivot doors
• Glass doors (like shopfronts or commercial fit-outs)
• Internal barn doors
• Feature doors and panels
