At what height should a pull handle be mounted?

The mounting height of a pull handle is primarily determined by various factors such as practicality, comfort, and accessibility. However, there are generally accepted standards that define the ideal height.

• Standard height: On average, the standard mounting height for pull handles is given as 800 to 1200 mm above the floor or threshold height. This height is usually comfortable for most adult users.
• Matching existing handles: If other door or window handles are present in the same area, the pull handle should be mounted at the same height to ensure a uniform appearance.
• Accessibility: When planning for accessibility, especially for wheelchair users, the pull handle should be mounted at a height of 850 mm above the floor. A second, lower-mounted handle can provide additional assistance.

It is important to note that the mounting height should be flexibly adjusted to suit individual needs and the intended use of the door.
