We look at your front door handle as the hand shake of your home. How do you want to be greeted by your home when you arrive after a long day at work? How do you want guests welcomed to your home? A wonky, stiff or loose door handle will create the wrong first impression. However, something sleek, modern, traditional or stylish could suit your home perfectly and give the perfect welcome.
So, which door handle do you need for your door handle?
Entry Door Handles
This is the handle that will be seen when people arrive at your home. You might want to consider a handle that fits with the look and feel of your home. However, it could also be a great opportunity to enhance the curb appeal of your home. Why not choose a statement handle that really stands out?
It’s important to think about the locks and security for your entry door too. Opting for a secure deadbolt lock is recommended. You could pair it with a stylish knob lock or a level handle for example.
French Door Handles
The key to choosing the right door handle for French doors is coordination. You need to choose a handle that coordinates on both doors for symmetry. It’s also a good idea to choose a handle that matches the windows and frames on the French door.
Decorative hinges can really make your French doors pop, if that’s something you are keen to do. When it comes to security, we would recommend multi-point locking systems. These will offer enhanced security on a door type that is seen as not being very secure.
Sliding Door Handles
When looking for door handles for your sliding handles, it’s a good idea to go for sleekness. This can be achieved by recessed door handles for example. You may prefer to opt for flush pulls instead, which add extra elegance to a sleek door finish.
If you have sliding doors, we would recommend auxiliary locks. This is because they offer an added level of security to your home. When it comes to hinges for your sliding doors, top hung or bottom rolling hinges are recommended. However, this is dependent on the type of sliding door you have.
