Product Information A long throw handle is a type of door or gate handle designed to operate locking mechanisms with an extended reach, allowing for a long throw (distance the bolt or latch travels) when securing or releasing the lock. Typically used with high-security locks, such as double locking or long throw locks, this handle provides greater leverage and control when operating heavy-duty locking systems. Key Features: - **Extended Reach**: The long throw handle is designed to operate locks with a longer bolt or latch, ensuring a secure engagement with the strike plate or door frame. The extended throw makes it easier to secure or release the lock, even on larger or heavier doors. - **Durable Construction**: Made from high-quality materials such as stainless steel, brass, or zinc-coated metals, long throw handles are built to last and withstand frequent use, offering strength and reliability. - **Ergonomic Design**: Often designed with a comfortable grip, the handle allows for smooth, easy operation, whether turning, pulling, or pushing, reducing strain during use. - **High-Security Application**: Commonly used on doors or gates that require additional security, such as external doors, commercial entrances, or gates, where a secure, tamper-resistant locking mechanism is needed. - **Weather-Resistant**: Many long throw handles are treated with corrosion-resistant coatings, making them suitable for outdoor or exposed environments, ensuring long-lasting performance in various weather conditions. Long throw handles combine functionality and security, offering a reliable, durable, and ergonomic solution for operating heavy-duty locks on doors, gates, and enclosures.
