That\u2019s why many homeowners spend time and money choosing just the right <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.decorhandles.co.za\/collections\/door-handles\"><span>door handle<\/span><\/a><span> to go with their front doors, giving each home its own unique look and feel. Choosing the right door handle, however, can seem like an intimidating task if you\u2019ve never done it before. Here are some tips that will help you get started on choosing the right door handle for your home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Types of Handles<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span>There are many different types of door handles available on the market, so it is important to choose the one that is right for your home. Some of the most popular types include lever handles, knob handles, and deadbolt handles. Lever handles are often used on doors that require less security, such as interior doors. Knob handles are more common on exterior doors, and deadbolt handles are typically used on doors that require more security, such as front doors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Each handle type comes in several styles, and you\u2019ll need to decide what look is best for your home. Most interior doors have a simple lever or knob handle, but you can also find more ornate handles that are designed for more expensive homes. Exterior doors often have fancier handles, like those with glass designs or multiple twists. Most deadbolt handles are round and silver, with a small cylinder on one side that must be turned to open it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Finally, you\u2019ll need to decide whether you want to use a knob handle or a lever handle. Kinks are more common on interior doors but can be used on exterior ones as well. Knob handles require less pressure to turn and generally don\u2019t wear out as quickly as lever handles do. However, they are usually more expensive and look better on lighter-coloured doors. Because lever handles do not use springs that can break over time, they require less maintenance than other types of handles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Consider Style<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span>You want a door handle that fits in with the style of your home. If you have a modern home, you\u2019ll want a sleek and simple door handle. If you have a more traditional home, you might want something with more ornate details. Think about what will look best in your home and go from there.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In addition to style, you also want to think about functionality. Some door handles are easier to use than others, and some are designed to make it harder for a burglar to enter your home by sticking them with a pin and sliding them open. If you\u2019re concerned about security, look for a door handle that incorporates anti-burglary technology like kick plates or anti-pry shields. Also, look for one that offers deadbolts at all entry points of your home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>If you\u2019re concerned about privacy, look for a door handle that will keep others from looking into your home. A knob with frosted glass or an opaque finish will provide more privacy. You might also consider a door handle with an integrated peephole so you can check who\u2019s at your door before opening it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Do You Need a Door Handle or Door Knob?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span>When it comes to door handles, there are two main types: door knobs and door levers. Both have their pros and cons, so it\u2019s important to know which one is right for your home before making a purchase.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>There are other features to look for in door handles and knobs, as well. First, decide if you want a doorknob that is round or square. This can be an aesthetic choice, but some people might prefer a round door knob because it requires less force to turn. Secondly, you\u2019ll need to decide on handle material\u2014brass is one of the most common choices, but steel and aluminum are also available options. Do you want your handle to match your other fixtures?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>When it comes to door levers, some have a locking option, which is useful for keeping small children from opening doors. You\u2019ll also want to decide if you need a door knob with a keyhole for your home\u2019s security system. Each type of handle can come in multiple finishes and designs so that you can choose one that fits well with your style. How will your door handles look when they are installed? Consider all of these factors when choosing door handles and knobs for your home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Check Measurements<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span>Before you do anything, you need to make sure you know the measurements of your door. You don\u2019t want to buy a handle only to find out it\u2019s too big or too small for your door. Once you have the measurements, you can start narrowing down your options.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Most handle sets have between two and six pieces to them. These include a handle, a strike plate (which attaches to your door frame), back plates (which attach to your door), and sometimes trim pieces or other decorative items. Take all of these measurements into account when looking at handles so you know they will fit properly on your door.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>You should also keep in mind that you want to make sure your handle is properly aligned for use. Most people are right-handed, so a right-handed lever will allow you to operate it with your dominant hand. If you\u2019re left-handed, choose a left-handed door handle instead. This will be easier and more comfortable to use if you have arthritis or limited mobility in your hands or wrists.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>And remember, most handles aren\u2019t sold in single pieces. You\u2019ll need to buy a complete set including all of these pieces to replace your old handle.

You may have to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.decorhandles.co.za\/collections\/sale\"><span>order online<\/span><\/a><span> if they don\u2019t carry it in stock.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Buy From a Reputable Dealer<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span>You want to make sure that you\u2019re buying from a reputable dealer, as this will ensure that you\u2019re getting a quality product.

One is the finish. You want to make sure that the finish of your door handle complements the overall style of your home. If you have a modern home, then a sleek, chrome finish would be a good choice. If you have a more traditional home, then a brass or bronze finish would be a better option. There are also many finishes in between these two extremes that can work well in any type of home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Besides deciding on a finish, you\u2019ll also need to decide whether you want an interior or exterior door handle. If you have an exterior door, then any of your options will work well since they will be exposed to the elements. However, if you have an interior door, then you\u2019ll need to find a handle that is made from materials that can withstand moisture from everyday use, such as hand sanitizer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Finally, you\u2019ll need to decide on a lever or knob style. If you have an exterior door, then it will be easy to decide since knobs are better for doors that need to open quickly, and lever styles take more force to open. However, if you have an interior door, then either option works well as long as it complements your other home d\u00e9cor. .<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Get Your Bespoke Door Handle from Decor Handles&nbsp;<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span>A door handle is one of the first things that visitors to your home will touch, so it\u2019s important to make sure it reflects the style of your home.
