Elevating door hardware standards across EMEIA: Introducing the AH120 handle range

In commercial buildings, hospitality spaces, residential developments and institutional facilities, door hardware plays a far bigger role than many realise. It contributes directly to design quality, user experience, long-term durability and—critically—building safety and compliance. As architects and specifiers continue to look for solutions that balance aesthetics with resilience, the AH120 handle range from ASSA ABLOY stands out as a well-engineered, modern option built for the demands of today’s environments.

Designed for modern architecture

The AH120 range has been developed around three core design principles: sleek aesthetics, visual consistency, and adaptability across project types. Available in round rose, oval rose, short plate and long plate variants, the collection supports diverse architectural styles—from minimalist contemporary interiors to functional high-traffic spaces. Its brushed AISI 304 stainless-steel construction provides a clean, refined finish suitable for EMEIA commercial and residential specifications, while optional black variants add a more architectural, design-led look.

Built for durability, performance and lifecycle value

For specifiers, long-term performance is as important as visual appeal. The AH120 range has been engineered to stand up to intensive use, with features that reduce maintenance burden while improving operational reliability. These include:

• High-grade stainless steel for corrosion resistance
• Spring-loaded levers for smooth, ergonomic operation
• Invisible fastening for a cleaner aesthetic with no exposed fixings
• 8mm spindle with 9mm adaptor for installation flexibility

This ensures the handles deliver consistent performance in demanding applications such as offices, education buildings, healthcare facilities and hospitality environments—where touchpoints must withstand frequent use, variable care, and potential misuse.

A complete range to simplify specification

The AH120 collection is designed to streamline the specification process, offering a wide range of shapes, profiles and configurations. Options include:

•  L-shape, L-90, L-90 curved and U-shape levers
• T-handle, cylindrical and spherical knobs (fixed and rotational)
• Round or oval roses
• Short plate or long plate formats
• Euro cylinder, key, WC and blind profiles
• Stainless steel or black finish options

This breadth allows the hardware to be matched consistently across a building—supporting both functional needs and cohesive interior design.

Flexible across vertical markets

• The AH120 range has been designed with the full spectrum of commercial and residential sectors in mind:
• Commercial offices: robust daily use, clean visual lines, easy integration with modern interior schemes
• Healthcare settings: hygienic stainless-steel finishes and durable construction suitable for high-traffic clinical spaces
• Hospitality environments: refined design and solid feel that enhances guest experience
• Educational institutions: vandal-resistance and compliance-ready performance
• Residential developments: design flexibility and long-term durability for multi-unit buildings

This versatility makes the AH120 a strong choice for developers and design teams aiming to standardise hardware across mixed-use or multi-building estates.

Supporting better buildings across EMEIA

Whether in new construction or refurbishment projects, door hardware must strike the right balance between form, function and reliability. The AH120 range delivers on all three—providing an accessible, specification-friendly solution that aligns with the design priorities and operational expectations of modern buildings across the EMEIA region.
