What is single-sided centre fixing?
A centre fixing is where there is one fitting located at the centre point of the handle.
Single-sided fitting is when the handle is fixed to the door face on one side of the door only.
This is not a concealed fitting, as the head of the screw will be seen on the rear of the door. However, this is the most
common method for fixing joinery or cupboard handles.
What type of handles will have this type of fixing?
Any round joinery/cupboard handles that do not require a concealed fitting.
