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.

"When we purchased the windows at the end of February we had been informed the lead time would be middle of August for installation. I was okay with this as they had been straight forward about the time frame. As the process moved forward I was kept informed via email at the various stages. I had received an email at the email of May stating the windows have finished being built and we can schedule installation. I was thrilled to have them be installed by the end of June. The installers showed up on time had been very courteous while performing the installation. They had scheduled 4 days for the installation and had completed it within 3 days. There was an issue with our front door as it was on back order and they brought out the wrong door by mistake, however they installed a temporary door until our door arrived and then came back out and installed the new door. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing replacement doors and or windows."

"A phenomenal removal and replacement of our front door. The installers were very detail oriented and very meticulous. This was the second time we've had doors replace with Renewal by Andersen of SW Missouri and both time our expectations were exceeded."

"The replacement windows are great quality and look great! The windows we are slowly replacing are original to the house, and are Andersen windows that are 40± years old! Our installers are the best! They went above and beyond what was expected of them. I highly recommend!! A+"
