1080 Lever Handle
Much has been written regarding who invented the tubular design. Most likely it was some master craftsman way back when hammering steel tubing into a handle format on the anvil. The phrase ‘horse stable handle’ has long been common parlance since the end bent towards the door was presumably designed to prevent the bridle from snagging.
That’s the general background on this classic design. However there is no doubt about who designed FSB 1080, none other than Johannes Potente. His contribution was to produce a shorter version suitable for domestic use.
