How do I determine the right door lever 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?
While some are, most door levers 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?
Lever handles 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.
