Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is a hot bed handle?
  A hot bed handle is a traditional D-shaped surface-mounted pull handle. You use it on gates, shed doors, and outdoor structures that need single-sided access.

• Can a hot bed handle be used outdoors?
  Yes. Hot bed handles are built for outdoor use. A powder coat or galvanised finish protects the metal against the rust and corrosion that come with outdoor exposure.

• What is the difference between a hot bed handle and a standard door handle?
  A hot bed handle is a simple surface-mounted pull with no latch or internal mechanism. Standard door handles typically include a latch and are designed for internal domestic doors. Hot bed handles are used for single-sided access on gates and outbuildings.

• How long does powder coating last on outdoor ironmongery?
  When properly applied, a powder coat finish can last between 15 and 20 years on outdoor metalwork. The actual lifespan varies depending on climate, UV exposure, and local humidity levels.

• What size hot bed handle do I need for a garden gate?
  The 100mm size is the most widely used for garden gates and shed doors. Larger options such as 150mm are available for heavier doors or where more hand clearance is needed.
