Handlesets

More than just door hardware, handlesets combine security, durability, and style to make a lasting impression on your home’s entryway. At Woodwork Manufacturing & Supply, we offer a wide selection of hardware from trusted brands like Emtek, Schlage, Yale, and more, ensuring you find the perfect match for your door and design preferences. Whether you’re upgrading for better security or enhancing your curb appeal, our hardware delivers both form and function.

What Are Handlesets?

They are a door hardware set that typically includes an exterior handle with a thumb latch, a deadbolt for security, and a matching interior knob or lever. They’re commonly used for front doors, patio doors, and other entry points where both style and strength matter.

They are most often installed on front entry doors, patio doors, or other high-visibility access points where first impressions matter. Available in a wide variety of finishes—such as satin nickel, matte black, polished brass, or oil-rubbed bronze—handlesets allow you to match your hardware to the style of your home or business. Many models also offer customizable features like smart lock technology, multi-point locking systems, or decorative backplates, making them both versatile and functional.
