New Orleans Wide Traditional Inactive Handle Trim

Hoppe New Orleans Wide Traditional Inactive Handles for Multipoint Locks

The Hoppe New Orleans M1610/3965N inactive handleset is engineered specifically for Euro-style multipoint locking systems with 92mm PZ spacing. These handles are commonly used on the stationary leaf of double French doors, side entry doors without exterior key access, or any application where interior-only lock control is preferred. MPLocks carries this collection in premium finishes including rustic umber, satin nickel, and oil rubbed brass, allowing you to match existing hardware throughout your home or project.

Solid Brass Construction for Lasting Performance

Each New Orleans inactive handleset is crafted from solid brass, providing superior durability compared to hollow or zinc-alloy alternatives. The wide traditional backplate design offers generous coverage around the door bore, helping conceal any wear marks from previous hardware installations. These handles are built to withstand daily use while maintaining their refined appearance over years of operation in residential or light commercial applications.

Designed for 1-3/4 Inch Thick Doors

This handleset collection is specifically sized for standard 1-3/4 inch (44.5mm) door thickness, which is the most common specification for exterior entry doors in North America. The interior thumb turn mechanism allows you to engage the multipoint lock from inside without needing a key, providing both security and convenience for occupants. Complete sets include both interior and exterior lever handles with matching backplates for a cohesive look.

Understanding Inactive vs. Active Handleset Functions

Inactive handlesets are designed for doors where you do not need keyed entry from the exterior. The exterior lever operates the latch mechanism, while the interior thumb turn controls the deadbolt and locking points. This configuration is ideal for the passive leaf on French door pairs, where only one door needs keyed access. If your door requires exterior keyed entry, you will need an active handleset instead with a Euro cylinder or American cylinder option.
