Understanding Multi-Panel Door Systems:

Multi-Panel Configuration Guide:

• 4-Panel Systems (Quad Sliders): 2 stationary end panels (use dummy handles) + 2 centre operating panels (use locking handles).

• 3-Panel Systems: 1 stationary panel (dummy handle) + 2 operating panels (locking handles).

• Bi-Parting Systems: Primary panel has locking handle with multipoint lock, secondary panel uses dummy handle and is secured when primary locks.

• Why Dummy Handles? Stationary panels don't open, so they don't need locking mechanisms. Dummy handles provide matching appearance whilst avoiding unnecessary cost.

Pro Tips:

Pro Tip: In a typical 4-panel quad slider, the two end panels are stationary (use dummy handles) and the two centre panels operate (use locking handles). Measure your door thickness to select correct spindle length (90mm or 115mm). Order all handles in matching finish for visual uniformity across your entire system. Available in Black, Polished Chrome, Polished Gold (PVD), Satin Chrome, or White.

Frequently Asked Questions:

What's the difference between dummy handles and locking handles?

Dummy handles have NO locking mechanism - they're simply pull handles for grip on stationary or secondary panels. Locking handles have functional levers or cylinders that operate a mortise lock. In a 4-panel quad slider, use locking handles on the two centre operating panels and dummy handles on the two stationary end panels for visual uniformity without unnecessary expense.

Will these work in a 4-panel quad slider system?

Yes - this is their primary application! Install these dummy handles on both stationary end panels and pair them with greenteQ Alpha locking handles on the two centre operating panels. This provides perfect visual uniformity across all four panels whilst only paying for locking mechanisms where they're actually needed.

Do dummy handles pose any security risk?

No - dummy handles have no locking mechanism to operate, they're simply pull handles. The security comes from the locking handles on your active operating panels. Stationary panels with dummy handles are secured by the door frame or adjacent active panel's multipoint lock, not by the dummy handles themselves.
