Benefits of Door Handle
 
01/

Safe

Safety is an incredibly important factor for door handles, as it's the main area of contact between users and doors. Quality door handles are designed to last longer and reduce the chance of accidental breakage, but just as importantly they provide essential physical safety features. Handles with a smooth finish and rounded edges reduce the likelihood of cuts or scrapes on fingers.

02/

Ease of Use

Door handles are incredibly useful and practical household accessories. One of the best advantages of a door handle is its ease of operation, allowing you to open it with minimal effort to gain access without having to struggle against stiff hinges or grasping multiple knobs. The innovative design means that a simple push, pull, or even a twist is enough to give access, making many handles suitable for people of all ages and abilities.

03/

Pet Friendly

A pet-friendly door handle can be an incredibly beneficial tool for those with pets in their households. This type of handle is designed to make it easier for your four-legged friends to enter and exit the house without having to rely on assistance. Rather than maneuvering a knob that can be difficult for dogs or cats, these handles allow them to open and close doors with ease using just a gentle push, providing a more efficient and safe way to enter and leave while giving you peace of mind.

04/

Require Less Energy

One of the most beneficial aspects of a door knob is that they require less energy. This is because, apart from the initial hard push or pull on the handle itself, a simple twist of the wrist is all that is necessary. This results in an efficient and easy-to-use tool, especially for those who rely more heavily on their door handle for access. This makes them particularly suitable for use in places where multiple people have to enter and exit frequently, such as public buildings, airports, and offices. 

05/

Good Grip

Door knobs provide a secure grip that is easy to hold onto and maneuver, even when one's hands are wet or slippery. This makes them great for high-traffic areas of a home, enabling members of the family to quickly get in and out of rooms without having to worry about their grip slipping on the door knob. 

06/

Budget Friendly

The door knob is one of the most budget-friendly investments a homeowner can make. It serves as an important element of both form and function, while still keeping costs incredibly low. For those that are looking to replace worn-out door handles or upgrade their style without breaking the bank, choosing a door knob is a great option.

Types of Door Handle

 

 

Lever on backplate handles

Lever on backplate handles are handles that are supplied with a backplate. They are a traditional style handle and can be supplied just as a lever with backplate, with a lever and a lock, or with just a thumb turn, most commonly used for bathrooms. The backplate provides an opportunity to choose from a range of styles, from the classic shape to a square, curved or even fleur-de-lys styled backplates for more traditional buildings.

Lever on rose handles

Lever on rose door handles are levers that are supplied with a square or circular rose, surrounding the point at which the handle connects to the door, ensuring the fixings are hidden from view to add a smooth finish to the door. They are much smaller than backplates, and do not come with locks, but if needed locks can be fixed separately and covered with escutcheons to create a smooth finish. The lever on rose handles come in a range of styles and finishes to suit your door, from simple stainless steel levers to polished chrome and two-tone finishes, and from linear handles to winged, curved and square.

D Pull handles

D pull handles are a great solution to doors that do not require latches and open inwards.  Fitted externally onto the door, they come in a wide range of styles and are often chosen for their simplicity and ease of use. Choose from curved D handles, straight edge handles and T handles which have extensions at each end to create a more linear appeal.

Flush pull handles

Flush handles are most commonly used on sliding doors and are fitted into the door itself to create a flush finish, allowing doors to slide into the cavity without any obstruction. They come in a range of styles and sizes, from small finger pulls to rectangles, squares and circular designs.

Doorknobs

Door knobs have been in use for hundreds of years, and are typically spherical shaped. They can be used to open latches by turning and can be paired with locks for security if required. They come in a range of styles and designs, such as antique cast iron door knobs for use in traditional and period buildings, to decorative and more contemporary stainless steel and polished chrome doorknobs. As well as traditional doorknobs, you can also purchase centre doorknobs, which are more for decorative purposes, adding a feature to your front door.

Thumb turns

Thumb turns are most commonly used in bathrooms. Simply operated, the thumb turn moves the bolt into and out of the lock. Thumb turns are used for privacy, but not for security because thumb turns can generally be operated with a coin turn from the outside in case of emergency.

 

Door Handle Material

 

Brass

When it comes to the best material for internal door handles, one popular option is brass. Besides being an attractive choice, brass door knobs actually have germ-killing properties.Brass, as well as other metals like zinc, copper, and silver, are oligodynamic. This means they have ions that can kill living cells, such as fungi, bacteria, and viruses.

Brass is also durable and is not prone to corrosion like other materials, so it won't need much upkeep to stay beautiful. Of course, over time, the colour of the brass will fade. But this is a look all its own and doesn't necessarily mean that the handle will need to be replaced.

Stainless Steel

Stainless steel is commonly used for door handle finishes. This material is durable and long-lasting and can also be a cost-efficient choice.However, the look of stainless steel door knobs and handles means that it isn't a popular choice for interior doors.But the look, durability, and cost-savings make it perhaps the best material for external door handles.

Aluminium

Aluminium has a similar look to stainless steel. It's also very durable and long-lasting, as well as simple to clean and maintain. While some stainless steel isn't rust-resistant, aluminium is, which also helps aid in its long-lasting qualities.The simple, industrial look of aluminium handles makes them a better choice for outdoor doors or commercial spaces.However, aluminium door knobs tend to be more expensive. But if you are willing to make the investment, you'll enjoy durable and enduring handles.

Glass

Glass is the rarest door handle material. That's because this door hardware is the easiest to break.Glass handles are far from durable and can be sharp and dangerous if they break. But if you're looking for a beautiful, modern look, glass is an excellent choice.These handles are usually hand-crafted. This does make them a much more expensive option than other door handle materials on this list.

Wood

While wood is one of the oldest building materials on earth, it hasn't been a popular choice for door handles and knobs. Wood handles can beautifully complement a home's natural style, but they are damaged easily by moisture and humidity.This can make them a poor choice in homes in certain climates, as well as for exterior doors.

 

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Door Handle

The style

This is a very important first step, especially in terms of resale and the effect a good choice can have on the value of your house. Stand back and examine your residence from the outside and then the inside. What's the style of the house? Modern, contemporary, Tudor, Hampton or a mix…? It may even be one style on the outside and a different style inside. That's OK, so long as you know prior to making your selection. To help you with deciphering it all, we have put together a slide showing house styles and the types of handles that match. You can view this here. Getting this right is a huge step in making the right choice.

What will it need to match in with

Design trends in recent years have very much focused on this point. In the past, what was in other rooms didn't matter. Now it does! If you are using chrome in the bathroom, you may consider a two-tone finish on your internal door handles. You will see that the touches of chrome tie your bathroom furniture in with the door handles making a forceful but subtle statement. Alternatively, your cabinetry might have a Hampton feel, meaning that you may choose a Hampton style lever such as the one pictured the Oxford.

The material

All materials are not equal. Consider your environment, are you near the coast or a particularly windy or damp environment. There are all kinds of materials but in this instance a micronized finish or a brass product is the best. You can learn more about micronized finishes here. Also consider the use – If it will be subject to a lot of use and heavy traffic, the stronger the material the better. A good guide is to check out the warranty. A good warranty should be at least 10 years on the finish and 10 years for the mechanical warranty.

The type (round or lever)

Whether you go for a round handle or a lever handle will almost certainly come down to two things. The look you want, and who will be using it. Round handles a mostly used in period homes that suit that look. However, lever handles are available for those period type homes too so its up to you. Remember that lever handles are much easier to use, and often round handles are very hard to turn, especially if you are carrying shopping.

The door thickness and weight

Doors are getting bigger and wider, and they are also getting thinner in some instances. Therefore, you need to know the weight and thickness of your door. There are some handles that suit thick doors and others designed for thinner doors. Also, if the door is heavy, you need to ensure that the lever handle is strong enough to handle it – no pun intended! Light weight cheap handles such as you can buy from a super store just won't cut the mustard in these applications.

What is the Function

This is an important one. Does the room in which the door is need a privacy function or just a latching function? If privacy is needed, there are two options. Integrated or separate. Integrated is cheaper but separate is far superior both in reliability and aesthetics. Separate privacy is also much easier to operate. You can read much more about this here.

 

Maintenance Tips for Door Handle
 

Check Material

Interior door handles are most commonly manufactured from either stainless steel or chrome plated alloy. The material your handles are manufactured from will determine how they should be cleaned, so it is important to establish this information before you start cleaning them.

IconPolish Your Handles

As part of a regular maintenance regime you should simply buff your handles using a dry polishing cloth. Don’t be tempted to use an abrasive cloth and be sure not to use any chemical cleaners as this will cause damage to surface of your handles.

IconClean Your Handles

To clean your interior door handles it is advisable to use only a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris that may have collected on the surface. It is however imperative to ensure that they are wiped dry following cleaning to ensure that no moisture collects on the surface of your handles.

IconDry Surface Moisture

It is important to recognise when moisture appears on the surface of the handles and to ensure that the handles are wiped dry using a soft, dry cloth. This is especially relevant in areas of high condensation such as kitchens and bathrooms, as if moisture is left to settle on the surface of your handles it could lead to surface rust forming over time.

IconRemove Surface Rust

If surface rust or stains should appear on your stainless steel door handles then a non-scratching cleaner or polish that’s for use on stainless steel can be used. Be sure to apply with a soft cloth or sponge and clean off with clean warm water before wiping the handles dry to preserve the finish.
