FSB 1005 Door Lever Set

FSB 1005 is part of FSB's Standard Mortise Lock (SML) program — German-engineered architectural door hardware known for precise proportions and a tactile, ergonomic grip.

Known as The Wedge, FSB 1005 was modernized by Johannes Potente in the 1960s from a 1931 design by Max Burchartz. Its crisp wedge profile made it a favourite of Egon Eiermann, and it appears in Bonn's Langer Eugen tower and the former Chancellor's Bungalow. It remains a standard choice in the renovation of postwar modernist buildings.

Available in passage, privacy, single dummy, and double dummy configurations. Handing is required for single dummy.
