For instance, in addition to the knob top, which is the large knob that you would actually grab hold of to turn, handles are made with a spindle, shank, and knob rose. The knob rose is a round washer or plate used to form a socket. This piece is adapted so it can be attached to the actual door. Then, there is that spindle, which is the thin piece to which the handle attaches. The shank is the stem that projects from the door handle. Within the shank is a hole in which the spindle would be placed. For functionality, the door handle would be attached so the metal shaft can turn the latch to open the door.

This will ensure the compatibility of the new replacement handle with your door. In the next step, the latch is screwed-in and the screws are turned tight into their place using a screwdriver. Before tightening the screws it is better to get them started with your hands. The next step is to place both the exterior and interior door handles in their place. The next step in new door handle replacement is to place screws on their proper place. This is a little meticulous job, since you need to ensure that the screws properly fall into place, else the new handle can give you some trouble. Both the screws are started with your hands before tightening them properly with the screwdriver. Next the door handles are tested to check whether they work properly and if there is a smooth flow in their motion. You should also test the lock to check whether it is properly working or not. In case you find any trouble with the lock or the handle replacement, then you should remove the assembly and recheck the screws.

As door handles easily catch germs and bacteria because of the variety of individual hands that touch them in the course of a day, it is important to consider the materials used. It is believed that certain materials like brass, copper and silver discourage the growth of bacteria and germs through some kind of electro-chemical effect; while other materials like aluminum, stainless steel, glass and porcelain do not have the same action. However, this belief has remained just that... a belief: and studies have not been extensive enough to confirm or disprove this possible effect, except in the case of silver. Hospitals in particular are experimenting with handle materials as they continue their fight against infectious disease within their wards.

Many other types of them are also available in the market and all of them are capable of greatly enhancing the looks of your house. However, the reproduction and antique period brass are like a premium type of brass as they are more durable and last longer than other types. This type of door hardware usually doesn't wear off easily and even when its finish fades away, it will still give an antique look and will match the decoration of your house. Newly installed brass door handles are always radiant, but eventually the wear and tear will cause them to lose their radiance. This wear and tear could be due to stains, grease or any other similar factor that can reduce the glow of metal. As brass is the combination of zinc and copper, it creates a golden color that gives the brass door handles their attractive and shining look.

If the door is made of hardwood, it should have a handle mechanism that makes it easy to open and close the door.
