Picking the right door handle for your home can be a hard choice, there are a lot of factors that need to be taken into consideration before you make your selection. Luckily for you, we’ve compiled a list of things you should remember before making your decision.
Our first tip is that the style, and finish of your interior door fittings should be coordinated with your home. Door fittings are a small design detail, but decor-choice-wise, one that enhances the overall aesthetic. The most important (and often overlooked) step to achieving the desired look for your home is selecting the right fittings for interior doors.
Tailor-made door fittings are a great option in this regard as you can choice a fitting that matches your décor perfectly, they also allow you to switch on the function as required. Some people prefer door knobs to other door levers because door knobs are easier to open for people with disabilities, elderly and children. There are many different types of door fittings and the doors that fit them, so be prepared to spend some time doing research.
Two of the main fittings that are commonly used are Door Handles and Door Knobs. Deciding between the two of these may not be as straight forward as it seems. For example, if you have young children, it is worth looking at a door knob as it prevents the little ones from accidentally opening doors and cupboards. If you decide to opt for a door handle instead, and it is used more than a hundred times a month, choosing an expensive door handle may be the best choice to avoid wear and tear being noticeable. As with anything if you decide to spend more money the product you’re paying for will last a lot longer and won’t have as many problems.
In choosing the best door handle for your home, consider the cost of hiring a specialist (if necessary) and add these to the total cost of the door handle itself. While you may want to choose a door handle that is a stunning statement piece, remember to expect a higher price tag for something such as this.
The handles you choose for your door depend on the use of your door in your home and the style you prefer. The first thing you should look at is which handle looks the best but remember to take into account size of your door. The second thing you need to take into account is what purpose does the handle need to serve. If it’s for a bedroom, front door, or bathroom. Then you need to consider purchasing a door handle or cabinet knob with a locking mechanism. If you need to unlock the door knob for privacy from the outside, which is not uncommon when trying to keep an infant safe in the house, you can find a handle or knob which will account for this.
Choosing the best door handles for your home means limiting your options based on design, function, special features, installation ease and budget. Since door handles are used several times a day, every day, it is advantageous to choose the upscale models for reasons of use and wear, but to choose a budget. Choose a design that looks better than other door handles and buttons for your home overall aesthetics.
Identifying what you need your door handle to achieve is the first step of selecting the right one. Once this is done you can look at things such as price, aesthetics, overall appearance and specific features.
