New Orleans Traditional M1610/2172N HOPPE Handleset

Hoppe New Orleans Traditional Handlesets for HLS7 Multipoint Locks

The New Orleans Traditional M1610/2172N series represents one of Hoppe's most popular decorative lever designs, featuring graceful curves and period-appropriate detailing that complements traditional architecture. These handlesets are engineered specifically for HLS7 multipoint lock systems, which use a 2172N backplate configuration with American-style cylinder compatibility. MPLocks carries the full range of configurations, allowing homeowners and contractors to source matching hardware for active entry doors, inactive secondary doors, and non-operating dummy positions on sidelites or fixed panels.

Durable Construction for Long-Term Performance

Hoppe handlesets are manufactured to exacting European standards using solid brass and aluminum components with premium powder-coated or PVD finishes. The M1610 New Orleans lever operates smoothly on precision bearings, providing years of reliable service even in high-traffic entryways. Unlike lower-cost imports, these handles resist corrosion, finish wear, and mechanical fatigue—making them a practical choice for both replacement and new construction applications where longevity matters.

Multiple Finish Options for Design Flexibility

The New Orleans Traditional series is available in several finish options to coordinate with existing door hardware, locksets, and architectural details. Whether you need bright brass, antique brass, satin nickel, or oil-rubbed bronze, these handlesets provide consistent color matching across active and inactive configurations. This allows you to outfit double doors or doors with sidelites using coordinated hardware throughout the opening.

Choosing the Right Configuration for Your Door

Active handlesets include an exterior cylinder and interior thumbturn, making them suitable for primary entry doors that require keyed access. Inactive sets feature only the interior thumbturn and are used on secondary doors in a double-door configuration where the other leaf carries the lock. Dummy handlesets are fixed in place without any operating mechanism—ideal for sidelites or decorative applications where the look of a handle is desired without function. Measure your existing backplate screw spacing to confirm HLS7 compatibility before ordering.
