Coastal Group has announced the launch of two new slimline lever handles, designed specifically to meet the needs of fabricators, manufacturers, and installers of external aluminium, composite, and PVC doors.

At just 26mm wide, the 096 backplate is ideal for today’s slimmer aluminium profiles while delivering the strength, durability, and premium finish the Coastal brand is known for.

Available with a choice of angled mitre lever handle or ergonomic lever handle, the new range combines modern styling with marine-grade performance.

“We identified a clear gap in the market for a truly slimline, corrosion-resistant backplate that works with the latest door designs,” said Loren Jenner, Managing Director at Coastal Group. “The 096 delivers on that demand, giving fabricators and installers a stylish, high-performance option with the reassurance of our lifetime guarantee.”

Manufactured from solid 316 marine grade stainless steel – including the fixings – the 096 offers exceptional corrosion resistance, even in coastal environments.

“From the outset, our design brief was to create a slim backplate without compromising on strength or functionality,” explained Phil Walklett, Design & Engineering Manager at Coastal Group. “We worked closely with our partners to ensure the new design not only looks exceptional but also offers solid cast levers, a high-quality finish, and practical features that make life easier for installers.”

Key features include a dual sprung mechanism for smooth, reliable operation, visible fixings for straightforward installation and an offset lever to prevent clashes on double doors.

The 096 backplate with angled mitre and ergonomic lever handles are part of Coastal’s premium BLU Collection and are backed by the company’s lifetime guarantee. Both styles are available now in a range of finishes.
