Mortise handles are a type of door handle that is designed to be installed into a mortise or recessed pocket in the edge of a door. They are typically made of metal, such as brass, zinc and can come in a variety of finishes, including polished brass, antique brass, rose gold , and chrome.

Mortise handles consist of two parts: the handle and the backplate. The handle is the part that is grasped to open or close the door, while the backplate is the part that is installed into the mortise. The backplate is typically attached to the door using screws, and the handle is attached to the backplate using a set screw.

Mortise handles can provide a more elegant and traditional look to a door compared to other types of handles, and they are commonly used in historic or period-style homes. They can also be more secure than other types of handles, as the mortise pocket provides a deeper and more secure mounting point for the handle.
