Door Knobs & Handles
Door knobs and handles are an essential component of the door. They are small but have a big impact on the overall performance of the door. It is essential to consider these components whether you are designing your home, office, or even a hotel. They are crucial in ensuring the smooth functioning of the door. Moreover, they bring the entire room together by matching the door's finish with the overall aesthetic of the building.
In the selection of these components, you might consider other related items like Door Hardware for the hinges and closers. You might also consider the Mortise Locks for better integration. The selection of the right knob or handle enhances the longevity of the door.
Types of Door Knobs & Handles
Round Door Knobs
The round door knob is a standard fixture for use in bedrooms, storage rooms, and interior doors. Its compact look and functionality are unmatched for spaces that experience moderate usage. Ideal for those who require basic privacy and functionality.
Lever Handles
The lever handle was designed for ease of grip and functionality. This explains why lever handles are often used in offices, hospitals, and doors in residential areas. Lever door handles require less effort to open and close doors, making them perfect for use in areas where children and seniors frequent.
Pull Handles
Pull handles look great on main doors, glass doors, and commercial spaces where a firm grip and presence are desired. This type of handle works well for spaces that experience heavy usage and require a modern look.

Applications in Residential and Commercial Environments
Door knobs and handles are common in all environments, including homes, corporate offices, hotels, and commercial spaces. Door knobs and handles in homes are used in bedroom, bathroom, and balcony doors, ensuring smooth functionality in everyday use. Door handles in commercial environments, such as offices, are typically lever handles, which are long-lasting and can withstand heavy usage. Hotels and commercial environments require a blend of style and functionality, including door knobs and handles.
Buying Guide
Selecting a door knob or handle involves a few considerations, including the type of door, usage, and design requirements. For instance, a door knob or handle used in a heavy exterior door would require a strong handle with a strong internal mechanism, while a door handle in an interior door would require a light-duty handle. Additionally, the color and style of the handle, such as stainless steel, matte black, antique brass, and satin chrome, should blend well with other door hardware and interior decor.
Some people planning to upgrade or change their door knobs and handles consider mortise locks and other door hardware, ensuring compatibility.
