• How much more space does an extended handle allow for finger room?
• Need a deeper handle to open door on 500 Series

Answer:

Each of the following is a set of extended handles that provides 3/4" more space when using raised panels.

• A standard framed handle sticks out from the front of a 500 Series door 1-1/4".
• The extended framed handle gives 3/4" more finger clearance to open the door when there is a raised panel installed on the door.
• A typical 3/4" raised panel with a standard framed handle would be difficult to grab the handle without making contact with the panel too.
• This is why the extended framed handle is recommended.
• For 501 models, refer to 501 Series Regular and Extended Handle Installation.

• For model 550, order EH550.
• For model 511, order EH511.
• Models 532, 542 (regardless of serial number), 561 prior to serial # 1810000 : part # EH561.
• Model 561 starting with serial # 1810000: part # 4132271.
• Each handle set includes handle end caps.
