Although the door handle is just one of the door’s finishing touches, it actually makes a big difference in how easy it is to use. It governs the aesthetic finish while also ensuring the correct operation of the door. For aluminium doors, which are characterized by a modern appearance and high durability, it is worth choosing aluminium door handles. They perfectly blend in with the overall interior while improving the ease of the door operation. This hardware stands out with its durability, damage resistance and ease of cleaning.
Choosing a door handle is also a technical issue – a poor choice can make it difficult to open and close the doors, as well as potentially causing a failure in the long term.
Choosing a door handle is a decision that requires careful consideration. Here are some important factors to consider:
Door handles for interior doors usually have a simpler design, while door handles for exterior doors are more resistant to corrosion and moisture. Front and other exterior doors are exposed to weather that varies in its extremes; here, aluminium door handles should work the best.
For modern interiors with their simple lines and minimalist styling, aluminium door handles from the Aluprof Line are a perfect fit. On the other hand, for more traditionally designed spaces, where classic accents dominate, an exterior door handle with a long faceplate can be a great choice – it goes well together, especially with real wooden doors or vintage-themed features.
The door handle should also be comfortable to use. This is especially true for those that are used most often, such as for front doors. It makes sense to consider the ergonomics of the door handle – make sure that pressing the handle does not make opening the door difficult. Here size is also important – too small a door handle can be difficult to use, while a large handle may clash with the proportions of the door.
When choosing a door handle, consider its optional functions. Security mechanisms, like hinge bolts or door guards, or even an external opening systems, are all worth looking at. Door locking systems and compatibility of the door handle with electronic lock systems may help to increase the security of access.
There are many types of door handles on the market. Here are the most popular ones:
This is the most popular type, characterized by simple construction and easy operation. It consists of a door handle mounted on a shaft, which is connected to the lock mechanism. The versatility of the solution makes it an ideal choice for interior and exterior doors alike. No matter what your interior style is, you are sure to find a model to fit in perfectly.
When deciding to buy a door handle, check whether you need a one-sided or double-sided model. One-sided door handles are for those doors which do not need to be openable from both sides. Double-sided door handles –– as the term suggests –– have the hardware installed on both sides of the door. A solution from the Aluprof Classic series is ideal for lift-and-slide front doors.
If you are looking for something more original and modern, check out the pull handles. This minimalist hardware are most often found on glass doors, on sliding doors, and in large office spaces. The pull handles not only look great in modern interiors, but also provide hassle-free door operation.
