1. Explanation of passage set door handle

A passage set door handle, also known as a hall/closet set, is a type of door hardware used for interior doors that do not require locking. These door handles are typically used for rooms such as hallways, closets, and pantries. Passage sets usually include two door knobs or levers, one for each side of the door, and a latch mechanism that allows the door to be opened and closed without needing a key. They are designed for easy operation and provide a simple and functional way to open and close a door.

2. History of passage set door handles

The use of passage-set door handles dates back to the 19th century, when they were first introduced as a more convenient alternative to traditional door latches. Before this, door latches required a key to be opened outside, and a thumb latch or bar lifted from the inside. Passage-set door handles eliminated the need for a key and made it much easier to open and close a door.

During the 19th century, door hardware manufacturers began mass-producing passage sets, making them more widely available and affordable. This led to their increasing popularity in residential and commercial buildings.

Over the years, passage set door handles have evolved in design and function. Today, they can be found in many styles, from traditional to modern, and come in various materials such as brass, porcelain, and glass. With the advancement in technology, passage set door handles now come with multiple features such as keyless entry, wireless connectivity, and more.

• Dragons and lions: These mythical creatures are considered symbols of power and protection in Chinese culture and are often used in the design of door handles.
• Knotwork: A traditional Chinese design element, knotwork patterns are interlaced lines that symbolize continuity and unity.
• Cloud and wave patterns: These motifs, often used in Chinese porcelain design, are meant to symbolize good luck and prosperity.

Overall, traditional Chinese design elements in passage set door handles are often intended to convey a sense of elegance and good fortune and to bring good luck to the inhabitants of the building.

• Materials commonly used to manufacture passage set door handles, such as zinc alloy, iron, brass, and porcelain.

Brass is a popular choice for door handles due to its durability and resistance to corrosion. It is also a relatively inexpensive material, making it accessible for mass production. Furthermore, brass can be easily shaped and formed, creating intricate designs.

Porcelain is another popular material used in manufacturing Chinese passage set door handles. Porcelain is a type of ceramic that is made from kaolin, feldspar, and quartz. It is known for its delicate and elegant appearance, as well as its strength and durability. Porcelain is also highly versatile and can be produced in various colors and designs.

Porcelain door knob handles are usually hand painted, with traditional Chinese motifs such as dragons, phoenixes, and floral patterns. The porcelain is also glazed to provide a smooth and glossy finish to the knob handle.

Both materials are widely used in manufacturing Chinese passage set door handles and offer a range of options for design and style, from traditional to modern.

4. Manufacturing Process

• Overview of the steps involved in manufacturing Chinese passage set door handles. The steps involved in manufacturing Chinese course set door handles can vary depending on the materials and techniques used. However, a general overview of the process is as follows: It’s worth noting that the production process for porcelain door knob handles may be slightly different, as the painting and glazing processes are done after the casting and sometimes individually.
  1. Design and Conceptualization: The first step in the manufacturing process is to create a plan for the passage set door handle. This can be done through hand sketching, computer-aided design (CAD) software, or using existing patterns or motifs.
  2. Mold Making: Once the design is finalized, a mold is created. The mold is usually made of metal for brass handles and porcelain handles; the mold is generally made of plaster. This mold will cast the handle in the desired shape and size.
  3. Casting: The next step is to cast the handle using the mold. For brass handles, molten brass is poured into the mold and allowed to cool and solidify. For porcelain handles, the mixture of kaolin, feldspar, and quartz is poured into the mold and then fired in a kiln.
  4. Finishing: Once the casting is complete, the handle is removed from the mold and undergoes finishing processes such as polishing, sanding, and buffing. They are glazed and hand painted with traditional Chinese motifs for porcelain handles.
  5. Assembly: The last step is to assemble the handle with the latch mechanism and other hardware. The handle is then tested for functionality and durability.
  6. Packaging and Shipping: The completed passage set door handles are then packaged and shipped to the customers or the market.
