Key Features of Godrej NEH-17 200mm Handle Set
Premium Zinc Alloy Build
Crafted from high-grade zinc alloy, this handle resists corrosion and daily wear, ideal for India's varying weather from monsoons to dry heat. The satin steel finish adds a modern touch without showing fingerprints easily, keeping doors looking new longer.
1CK Locking System with Brass Cylinder
Featuring a 5-pin brass tumbler cylinder and 3 nickel-plated brass keys, the 1CK setup locks from one side with a key while the other side uses a simple knob. A 50mm backset ensures easy key turning without knuckles scraping the frame, solving common installation frustrations.
Reversible Latch and Deadbolt
The 10mm latchbolt and double-throw deadbolt (20mm total) reverse effortlessly for left- or right-handed doors, inside or outside opening. No need to remove the latch—just lift the stopper and turn, saving time for busy contractors on-site.

Benefits for Indian Buyers and Contractors
Indian homes face unique challenges like high humidity, frequent power cuts affecting electronic locks, and the need for affordable yet secure hardware. The Godrej NEH-17 200 mm Door Handle Set 1CK tackles these head-on with its corrosion-resistant brass cylinder and zinc body, ensuring years of reliable performance without rusting or jamming.
For DIY professionals, the smooth lever action reduces hand strain during repeated use, while the tested longevity means fewer callbacks. Contractors appreciate the quick reversible latch, cutting installation time by half on multi-door projects like apartments in Mumbai or Delhi societies.
Safety is paramount in family homes with kids or elderly— the double-throw deadbolt provides extra security against forced entry, and the baby latch option pairs well for lighter interior doors.
Real Usage Problems and Solutions
