How to choose the right door handles
When selecting door handles for a project, there are many elements to take into account. Let us help you with this guide
What type of handles are available?
There are many different types of door handles available, each with their various advantages.
Lever on rose door handles feature a lever that is fixed to a circular plate - which is known as the 'rose'. These door handles are suitable for use on any internal door. Simply combine with latches, locks and thumb-turns, depending on your requirements.
Lever on backplate handles come in a range of designs to suit any interior door, with options available with or without keyholes. These handles feature a backplate to conceal screws and turn and release mechanisms.
Our pull handles are available in a range of designs, sizes and styles to offer the perfect finish for all applications. With bow handles, D handles, handles on rose and more, you're sure to find the right fit for your door.
We also offer a complete range of contemporary and commercial designed door knobs to accommodate both home and office environments. Everything that's required for installation is within the set, making installation simple.
What to consider when selecting the right door furniture?
Door furniture is the final element that not only provides the contact points for a door user, but is generally considered the most important element in completing the design vision and providing the desired aesthetic across a building or project.
Whether to select a knob or a lever handle can be solely personal choice although, for many environments, door levers and pull handles are easier to open, making them more suited to a barrier free environment.
We have a range of handle sets which accommodate various application and types of lockcases, for example UK, DIN and Scandinavian.
Door functionality and use is of paramount importance when choosing your furniture. Where a door is located in an area where there is little or no care taken when using these doors, then a higher category of use should be selected.
Doors also have different functions that impact the hardware used, such as non-locking lever operation for hallways; or locking with a privacy lever for bathrooms.
