When it comes to transforming your space, door levers often get overlooked. Yet, they are a key detail that combines functionality with a touch of style. Whether you're refreshing your interiors or finishing a new build, selecting the right door levers can make a significant impact.
At The Blue Space, we offer a comprehensive range of high-quality door levers. From sleek modern designs to timeless classics, our collection caters to every taste and need. Here’s what you need to know to choose door levers that suit your home perfectly.
What to Consider Before You Buy
1. Interior vs. Exterior Needs
Think about where the lever will be used. Exterior door levers need to be durable and secure. For options that prioritise safety without compromising on style, explore our exterior door levers.
On the other hand, interior door levers can focus more on aesthetics and comfort. Browse our curated interior door levers to find something that fits your personal style.
2. Functionality Matters
Door levers serve different purposes. Whether you’re after privacy levers for bedrooms and bathrooms, passage levers for halls, or dummy levers for wardrobes, we’ve got you covered. Our privacy door levers are ideal for spaces that need a little extra seclusion.
3. Material and Finish
The material of your door lever impacts not just the look but also its longevity. Stainless steel and chrome finishes are known for their durability and low maintenance. For a bold, modern look, consider matte black door handles. If you prefer warmth, brass door handles offer a classic charm.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a passage lever and a privacy lever?
A passage lever has no locking mechanism and is used for hallways, cupboards and rooms that do not need privacy. A privacy lever includes a push-button or turn-snib lock on the inside, for bathrooms and bedrooms, and can be released from outside in an emergency with a coin or small tool.
What types of door levers are available?
Door levers come in three main functions: passage (non-locking), privacy (inside lock for bathrooms and bedrooms), and entrance or key-locking sets for external doors. Levers are sold on round or square rosettes, or on a backplate, and fit standard 60mm or 70mm backsets on Australian doors.
Which door lever finishes work best for interior doors?
Matte black, brushed nickel, antique brass and brushed brass are the most requested interior finishes. Matte black and brushed nickel suit contemporary rooms, while antique and aged brass suit period homes. Choose one finish across all internal doors and match it to your hinges and other door hardware for consistency.
How do I choose a door lever with a key lock?
For doors needing key security, choose an entrance lever set with a keyed cylinder rather than a privacy lever, which only has an inside snib. Confirm the door thickness, usually 35mm to 45mm, and the 60mm or 70mm backset so the latch reaches the strike plate correctly.
Can door levers be used on french doors?
Yes. French doors use the same lever sets as standard internal doors, though pairs often take a dummy or non-turning lever on the fixed leaf and a working lever on the active leaf. Check the door stile width before ordering, as narrow timber or aluminium stiles may need a lever on a smaller rosette.
