Frequently Asked Questions
What types of door levers are available?
There are many different types of door lever handles and lockset functions available on the market. Some of the most commonly used ones include:
- Half dummy: These handles are generally used on interior doors that don't require a locking mechanism.
- Passage hall or closet: These levers are commonly used on intrerior doors that don't need to be locked, such as closets or bedrooms.
- Privacy: These handles are typically used in bathrooms and bedrooms. These door levers have locks that can be engaged from the inside of the room to prevent someone from coming in.
- Keyed entry: These handles are generally used on exterior doors and have a keyed cylinder that is used to lock and unlock the door.
Which type of door lever handle do I need?
Your choice will depend on the needs of the particular door that you are looking to install it on. In most cases, privacy and passage hall or closet handles will suffice for interior doors, while keyed entry handles are necessary for exterior doors.
How do I determine the right door lever lock for my door?
There are a few things that you'll need to consider when choosing a door lever handle, such as:
- The size of the door: Make sure to measure the thickness of your door before purchasing a lever handle. This will ensure that you get one that fits properly.
- The type of door: As mentioned above, certain types of doors will require a specific type of lever handle. For example, some door levels lock and others do not. Be sure to choose one that is designed for the door you're looking to install it on.
- The style of the door: Lever handles come in a variety of styles and unique finishes, so you'll want to choose one that complements the overall look of your door and interior decor.
Are door levers universal?
Most door lever locks are not universal. They are either right-handed or left-handed, meaning it is possible to install your handle upside-down. Ensure you get the correct handle for your door before installing it.
Why are lever door handles better?
Exterior and interior lever levers offer two major benefits:
- They're easier to use: Lever handles are much easier to use than traditional knobs, especially for people with arthritis or other dexterity issues.
- They're more stylish: Lever handles can add a touch of style to your doors that knobs simply cannot match.
