Things to Consider When Shopping for a Door Handle

A door handle adds a unique touch to your patio or entry door. The right style can make the door’s design look great, which is why you need to carefully assess the hardware to make sure you are getting the right one. Renewal by Andersen® of Southwest Missouri, your local source of entry doors and double hung replacement windows, shares the things you need to consider when shopping for a door handle.

The Look

Even with its small size, a door handle impacts the overall look of your home both inside and out. It can be overwhelming knowing that there are so many of them in the market in terms of style and profile. For this, consider the overall look of your home. A vintage-looking brass handle, for instance, is a great fit for homes with traditional architecture.

The Feel

Comfort and ease of use are also important when selecting your door handle. After all, you are to use this countless times so you want to make sure it feels good in your hand. Don’t buy one that is tricky to use or causes discomfort. Also, consider who will be using the door, taking into account any physical limitations they might have.

The Cost

Take note that, when purchasing a new door, it does not come with a handle as well as latches and hinges. These are sold separately, which means you have to decide on the hardware style that not only fits your style, but also your budget.

"After years of watching the wind move my drapes and hours of difficult cleaning, I decided to get new windows. I went with Renewal by Andersen because of the great reviews and quality. From Brent who did the consult, Gideon who did the measuring, to Jason, Josh, and I apologize I can't remember the third installers name, this is the most professional company I've ever worked with. I own a 1994 double wide mobile home, so everything in this place is hard to work with. I had a bay window, 6 double hung, 2 awning, and a front door replaced.. They said it would take 2 days and they were done on time! I did have second thoughts about doing this mainly because of the cost, but once it was done, I was very happy I did this."
