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.

"I just bought my first house. My patio sliding door was rotten. So, I needed it to replace it. Renewal by Anderson of Southern Missouri listened to what I wanted and delivered it. They did a fantastic job of installing and cleaning up afterwards. They did it even in freezing rain that day I was scheduled to have it replaced. They even had a follow-up to check things out and do the touch ups. I'm amazed at there work. Great job Renewal by Anderson."

"On Feb 1,2024 my husband and I selected Renewel by Andersen for windows for our entire house. It made our house more beautiful with the picture windows. Made the outside more attractive, and on the inside. We did 14 windows. We had 4 men come to do the job in 1 day And they were very friendly, efficient,fast and cleaned up inside and outside perfectly. And most importantly we noticed the heating furnace runs less,therefore saving us money on our gas bill. We live in SW Missouri. We recommend anyone who wants to replace windows in their home to pick Renewal by Andersen. Sincerely, Darius and Nancy Durman"
