Door Handles. Tuesday , October 02nd , 2018 - 01:17:31 AM
Door handle is an ambiguous term, and includes door latches, bars, and knobs. Depending on the geographical location and its place in time, they vary in design, form and materials. The only constant is its function: an attachment used to open or close a door. The earliest doors extant are approximately 5000 years old. Door handles, as devices to manipulate a gateway, became a necessity shortly after the invention of the pivoting mechanism. To most, pivots are simply known as hinges, however, there are nearly as many hinge designs and configurations as there are handles. The simplest handle is a pull - or push - projection on the side opposite the hinge. The placement of the handle is generally where it will provide an optimal mechanical advantage; most doors operating as second class levers. Doors with centre pulls or rings, or a pivot point in a location other than one edge of the door, use first or third class lever principles.
If you are refurbishing your home or simply replacing your door hardware, make sure you choose a door handle that would work best for your house, from design to functionality. For your Art Deco home, a chrome door handle would be perfect to complete the look. If you have an elderly or kids living with you, perhaps a lever, instead of a knob, would be easier to use for everyone. There are definitely many things you should consider when shopping for a door handle. Here are some suggestions you should keep in mind.
