What do you think of when you hear the word "alumawood"? Perhaps you think of cheap imitation jewelry that is just as cheap to make and just as easy to break. Or maybe you think of a classy, high-end piece of aluminum door handle that will make your home look very stylish and modern. You can choose any style or make of door handle, from a simple flat plate to one that has a lip, so it can be used on a variety of doors and in many different locations. This article will give you the information you need to make a decision and buy your own set of aluminum door handles.
One thing to think about when buying an aluminum door handle is safety. You have to make sure that there is a security lock on the handle, to prevent anyone from just pulling it off and breaking it. Also, you should double-check that there are no nails in the door handle, to avoid accidentally nailing yourself to the wall while trying to close and open your garage door.
Another safety issue that some people take very seriously is how an improperly made door handle looks. If it looks like it came out of the old Wild West, with its chunky wrought iron components, then it probably is not going to look very good sitting on your porch. The last thing you want is to stand around looking at a door handle that does not work. Also, make sure that the hole where you will put the handle into the wall is large enough for your hand to cover. Remember that the handle, like any other hardware item, can be ruined if you drop it and bang it against the wall.
When you have an aluminum door handle that does not work, what are you going to do? Are you going to call a locksmith? Or are you going to try to figure it out yourself? One of the things that you should do, before even calling a locksmith, is to take a few minutes to measure the height of your door. If you are very short, you may have to settle for a shorter handle. While that may be fine for many people, others need a handle much higher than that to keep their wrists in the right position when they are opening and closing the door.
In addition to the height of the door handle, you also need to check to see how secure the door mount is. Do you want to keep the door mounted to the wall or do you want it free standing? Again, if you install the door handle the correct way, then it will attach to the wall. However, if you have a sliding door, then you may have to install hinges on the wall to keep the door from falling off. Before doing either of these, you are going to want to make sure that you secure all screws in place and that they are well-tightened so that you do not have any unnecessary lifting and rocking as you open and close the garage door.
Aluminum door handles are going to be an important part of your new door. Before making your purchase, though, remember that there are plenty to choose from. Keep in mind that you can find styles that will go with almost any home. When you take the time to shop around and compare styles, you are also ensuring that you get the price on the door handle replacement that you need. Once you have made your purchase and installed your door handles, you are going to want to give them a great deal of attention just so that they continue to work like they should.
