For door handles, there has to be functionality accompanying any style. Here is how to consider functionality first while choosing door handles for yourself:

Type of Handle

  • Knobs: Classic and often the style used for interior doors knobs look great but are slightly less easy to grip because some people have limited strength with their hands. For instance:

    • Lock Mechanism
    • Privacy Locks: You would like to have some bathroom or bedroom privacy; so consider door handles with a lock on them. Most often these can be locked from inside and there is normally some mechanism for opening the outside key from inside should you become locked in. For instance:

    FAQs 

    1. What types of door handles do I have to choose from? 

    A: Door handles can be categorised into knobs, levers, and pulls. The knob is rather old school, the levers are easy to work with, and the pull works pretty well with the sliding door or cabinets.

    1. What is the best style for my house?

    A: The entire style of your house is going to determine what to use. For modern interiors, sleek and minimalist would be the best. You might need ornate or classic styles for traditional homes. Rustic interiors will be more textured and can have natural finishes.

    1. What are the finishes that would work best?

    A: Among the finishes, polished brass, oil-rubbed bronze, brushed nickel, and matte black are pretty popular. Select a finish that suits your existing hardware and your home’s decor.

    1. Do I need locking mechanisms? 

    A: If privacy is an issue (in bathrooms or bedrooms), select handles with locks. Security locks, in the case of exterior doors, should include deadbolts or smart locks.

    1. How do I know the handles will fit my doors?

    A: Measure the holes in your existing hardware and space your new installation the same. If you have to drill new holes, your new hardware does not match the old holes. Measure before you shop.

    1. Can I install door handles myself?

    A: Most door handles are sold with instructions and all the hardware to install. This means that nearly any person can easily install these door handles themselves. For those more complicated jobs, simply hire a professional.

    1. Is there a variant for high-traffic situations such as businesses or stores?

    A: Absolutely! Look for heavy-duty door handles made for large crowds. These door handles are intended to be more durable than common door handles since they are going to experience high amounts of daily wear and tear – the type of use experienced at restaurants and commercial businesses.

    1. What can I use for accessibility?

    A: Levers are normally easier to turn than knobs for easy access, especially to individuals who have poor hand strength or mobility issues.

    1. How should I take care of my door handles?

    A: Clean frequently using a soft cloth and the suitable cleaners for the finish. Do not use abrasive materials that may cause scratching of the surface.
