What are multi-fixed joinery handles?
Multi-fixing is where there are 2 or more fittings in the rear of a handle.
Single-sided fitting is where a single handle is fixed to the door face on one side only. This type of fitting is screwed into place from the rear of the door.
NB: This is not a concealed fitting, as the head of the screw will be seen on the rear of the door. However, it is the most
common method for fixing joinery or cupboard handles.
