Are you looking for a new door handle for an interior or an exterior door? You've come to the right place at Deurbeslag Expert for the largest collection of door hardware! Are you going for a sleek modern look inside your home? Or a charming classic door handle for an exterior door? With the right door handle, you complete the picture. We'll tell you what to look for when choosing new door handles. So read on to find the perfect door handle for your doors.
Why do door handles define your interior?
It is often thought that a door handle is merely a functional element, but nothing could be further from the truth. We refer to it as the jewel of the door. Have you just painted your walls or installed new interior doors? Then an outdated or worn handle can ruin the entire look.
By choosing interior door handles that beautifully complement your living style, you create unity and tranquility in your home. Consider matte black door handles for an industrial style. Or would you prefer a shiny nickel door handle for a luxurious hotel-chic atmosphere? Replacing your hardware is one of the most effective and affordable ways to give your home a completely new style without major renovations.
What types of door handles are there?
Our selection is enormous, which can be quite overwhelming. When purchasing a door handle, it is wise to first filter by style and shape. Broadly speaking, we distinguish a number of popular styles, including the door handle on a rosette. In this case, the handle sits on a small round or square plate. This looks minimalist and modern.
Would you prefer a door handle on an escutcheon ? That's a good idea too! In this case, the handle sits on an elongated plate that also covers the keyhole. This is great for replacing old hardware, as the escutcheon neatly hides the old screw holes. Are you, like many others, going for a 1930s-style door handle? The well-known models with ebony or bakelite are perfect for those iconic 1930s homes.
What should you look out for in a door handle set?
When purchasing a door handle set, you want to be sure it fits. First, pay attention to the door thickness. Most sets are suitable for standard doors (38 to 42 mm), but measure this to be sure. The 'spring tension' is also important. A spring-loaded door handle springs back neatly into the horizontal position after use, which prevents the handle from sagging over time. Do you have doors that need to be lockable, such as the toilet or bathroom? Then check carefully whether you need matching rosettes or a set with a toilet latch. At Deurbeslag Expert, most series are modular, so you can use the same style of door handles for every door in your house.
Can you easily replace a doorknob yourself?
Yes, that is a job you can easily do yourself. To install a door handle on the exterior or interior door, you usually only need a screwdriver and an Allen key.
First, remove the old hardware. Clean the door thoroughly and insert the new spindle through the lock. Slide the handles over it and tighten the patent bolts or screws. It takes only minutes, but the result is stunning. Are you unsure about the installation or the measurements?
