Black Front Door Handlesets

Black front door handlesets combine a bold matte-black finish with dependable entry-door security. Each set pairs an exterior handle with a deadbolt, giving you everyday convenience along with strong bolt-based locking for exterior doors.

Matte black has become one of the most popular finishes for entry doors thanks to its clean, modern appearance and versatility. It complements contemporary, farmhouse, industrial, and transitional home styles, and provides striking contrast on light-colored doors or siding.

Most black handlesets are designed for standard U.S. residential door preparations, including common backsets, typical door thicknesses, and standard latch/deadbolt cutouts. This makes them a practical choice for both new construction and replacement projects.

In addition to its style, matte black is also practical. The low-sheen finish helps conceal fingerprints, smudges, and everyday wear better than polished metals. For a cohesive look, pair your handleset with matching black hinges and other door hardware throughout your home.
