Default PVCu french door - 2 handles

Is there a specific requirement for two handles or just to be able to
keep one door locked? My french windows have two doors but only one
handle. The non-handled door locks via a lever on the edge of the
door.

Actually one handle would be better. Stop people going for the wrong
"master" door when using as
a single. I wonder if all the single handle doors have that.
What is the lever like ? Very small and fiddly ? I have in mind those
office doors with a little springy catch
that tries to have your finger for breakfast !

Difficult to describe really. It is on the edge of the door so hidden
when the other door is closed. It is about 6 inches long and slightly
springy so that it pulls out slightly from the flush position. It is
then rotated 180degrees about the bottom (and in the plane of the door
edge) to unlock the door. Not particularly fiddly to use although it
does require bending down to reach.

Does that describe it well enough? Can email some photos if it will
help.
