Patio doors consist of different parts, which should all work together to create a reliable system and protect your home from the elements, preserve energy efficiency and enhance curb appeal. Many Knoxville homeowners, however, focus on the framing and glass material and tend to forget about the hardware.
Read on as Renewal by Andersen® of Knoxville, a leading patio doors provider in the area, shares some tips on choosing the perfect door hardware in today’s post.
The handles or knobs on doors come in a wide range of designs and shapes. Lever handles, for instance, are easy to grab – and are your best choice with a French door. They do not require tight grasping or twisting of the wrist to operate, making them the best option if you live with an elderly family member. Sliding patio doors should be easy to slide across in and of themselves – and an ergonomic handle makes it all even easier!
Think of the hardware on your sliding doors as a functional embellishment that can help make them stand out. Choose the right hardware color, depending on the overall look of your interior. For instance, door handles with antique brass or gold dust finish suit traditional homes. Black and white door knobs, on the other hand, can fit modern homes.
For added security, you can invest in auxiliary foot locks for your patio doors. This optional door accessory can also help hold the door panel partially open.
