Replacing Door Handles

How often do you consider door handles when you are remodeling your home? I bet the answer is not often. Few people consider this detail but the truth of the matter is there is so much potential waiting for your home with this very basic approach to home remodeling. Handles are every bit as detailed and ornate as other home hardware and furniture. You could easily get swamped in ideas there are so many designs to choose from. But matching a door handle to your current decor is probably the easiest approach.

Start with a budget then research some styles. What can you afford? The prices ranges are pretty severe but you can find quality and style in any price range. However there is something to be said for the old adage you get what you pay for. Choosing handles from reputable companies is your best bet.

Door handles are different than door knobs. Knobs twist, handles have levers that release a catch so that you can pull or push the door open. That is basically the only difference. Knobs are cheaper too. You might think of the front door of your home when referencing handles but there are many interior door handles as well. French doors make use of interior handles. These are the doors that open into another room and are usually made of glass. Then you have sliding doors. Sliding door handles don't rely on levers as much as sliding locks to hold them in place. These are usually found as door that lead to an outdoor area such as a patio. Another style that you might not have thought of is kitchen door handles. These fit on cabinets and drawers. Typically you replace these when you are refacing your cabinets.
