Door Pull Handle

What is Door Pull Handle

 

 

A door pull handle is a type of handle that, as the name suggests, supports a pulling action. You can grip a pull handle with one or both hands, after which you can pull it. Pulling a pull handle will then move the object or workpiece to which it’s connected. The user grips hold of the long handle to open the door, and hence the handle supports the pulling action and spreads the weight across a larger area.

Types of Door Pull Handle

 

Commercial Door Pull

 

01

Back-to-Back Door Pull Handles

Back to back door pull handles typically refer to a set of handles used on both sides of a door, where the handles are mounted directly opposite each other. This configuration allows the door to be opened from either side using the pull handles. These handles are commonly used in glass doors or heavy doors where a push/pull mechanism is preferred. The key feature of back-to-back handles is that they are mounted so that they mirror each other on opposite sides of the door.

Recessed Flush Pull

 

02

Front Fixing Door Pull Handles

A front-fixing door pull handle is a type of door handle designed for easy installation. It's called "front fixing" because it is typically mounted on the front surface of the door, rather than a bolt-through collection having to be drilled in from the other side of the door, front fixings can simply be attached to the face of the door with no large modifications to the door itself. Their design is suitable for both residential and commercial settings.

Stainless Steel Door Pull

 

03

Rear Fixing Door Pull Handles

A rear fixing door pull handle is a type of door handle designed for ease of installation and a clean appearance. Unlike traditional handles which are fixed from the front, a rear fixing handle is installed from the backside of the door. These will usually be fixed by bolt or bolt-through screws to connect these pull handles to the other side of the door and secure them.

Screen Door Pull Handle

 

04

Concealed Fixing Door Pull Handles

A concealed fixing door pull handle is a type of handle that is designed to be mounted on a door in such a way that the fixing mechanism (screws, bolts, etc.) is not visible from the outside. This design provides a sleek, clean appearance to the door, as the mounting hardware is hidden. This concealed fixing door pull handle is expertly designed to be mounted on a door in a way that hides the fixing mechanism (screws, bolts, etc.) from sight. This creates a streamlined and polished look for the door, enhancing its overall appearance.

 

What's the Difference Between Door Knobs and Door Pull Handle
 

Door knobs are spherical or cylindrical devices mounted on doors to a ciltate the opening and closing of the door. They typically rotate on a spindle and are available in various styles, including classic round knobs and more modem, lever-style designs. Door knobs are often seen in traditional and vintage homes, lending a timeless and elegant touch to the overall interior decor.

 

One of the main features of a door knob is its ability to lock, adding a layer of security to the door. Door knobs with locks are commonly used on bedroom and bathroom doors, allowing for privacy when needed. However, its essential to note that door knobs may not always be the most ergonomic option, especially for individuals with limited mobility, as they require a firm grip and twisting motion to operate.

 

Door pull handles, on the other hand, come in a wide range of shapes and styles. They are usually lever-shaped and are more versatile in terms of design. Door pull handles are popular in contemporary and modern homes, offering a sleek and ergonomic alternative to door knobs. They are often chosen for their ease of use, making them an excellent choice for people of all ages and physical aillties.

 

Door pull handles are typically designed for interior doors, like those leading to bedrooms, closets, and living spaces. They do not usually feature locking mechanisms, as their primary purpose is to provide a simple and effective way to open and close doors. If privacy and security are necessary, separate deadbolts or key-operated locks are typically installed alongside door handles.

 

Material of Door Pull Handle

 

 
 

Brass

Brass door pull handles are known for their corrosion resistance and ability to withstand daily wear and tear, ensuring long-lasting performance. It offers a warm and inviting look, making it suitable for both traditional and contemporary designs.

 
 

Stainless Steel

Stainless steel is prized for its sleek and modern appearance, making it a preferred choice for contemporary interiors. Stainless steel door pull handles are not only visually appealing but also easy to clean and maintain.

 
 

Aluminum

Aluminum door pull handles are lightweight yet sturdy, making them a practical choice for various door types. Aluminum door pull handles are resistant to rust and corrosion, ensuring durability even in outdoor applications.

 
 

Glass

Glass door pull handles add a touch of sophistication and elegance to doors. Glass door pull handles are often combined with other materials like metal or wood to create a unique and eye-catching look.

 
 

Wood

Wooden door pull handles exude warmth and natural beauty, making them a popular choice for rustic or traditional interiors. Wood door pull handles add a touch of craftsmanship and organic charm to any door.

 
 

Plastic

Plastic is a relatively rare choice for a door handle material. While low-cost to produce, it isn't durable for heavy use or outdoor use. It also lacks the aesthetic looks of the other handles on this list.

 
 

Zinc

Another popular door pull handle material is zinc. Used for both interior and exterior doors, zinc door pull handles are durable, rust and corrosion-resistant, and often very cost-efficient.

 
 

Bronze

Bronze door pull handles are known for their classic and elegant appearance. They are durable, resistant to corrosion, and can develop a beautiful patina over time.

 

Factors to Consider when Choosing a Door Pull Handle
 
Is the door exterior or interior

If an exterior door, is it protected from the elements or will it be exposed to rain, snow or sea spray as these will contribute to the corrosion and rust of the pull handle. While bronze does not rust, it will over time develop a patina and is often referred to as a “living finish”. Stainless steel is corrosion resistant and while not rust proof, 316 stainless steel is the preferred alloy for coastal properties exposed to sea water.

Consider the most appropriate finishes

When choosing a door pull handle, the finish plays a crucial role in determining its appearance and durability. Consider factors such as budget, matching the pull handle finish to your internal handles (or not), and whether certain finishes have the endurance of a long-term trend. Opting for classic finishes like bronze, stainless steel, or brass ensures a timeless appeal that will withstand changing trends.

Determine the right size

Size matters when it comes to door pull handles. Choosing the correct size is essential to ensure that the pull handle complements the door's proportions. Avoid pull handles that are too large, as they can give the door a commercial look. Conversely, pull handles that are too small may make the door appear insignificant. Carefully consider the scale and style of your door to select a pull handle size that strikes the right balance.

Evaluate handle placement

The placement of the door pull handle on the door might seem obvious, but it's important to consider different placement options. Pull handles can be positioned vertically, horizontally, or diagonally. Additionally, you can choose whether the pull handle should be closer to the edge or in the middle of the door. Take into account both functionality and aesthetics when deciding on the pull handle placement.

Consider pull handle shape and design

Door pull handle shape and design contribute to both the visual appeal and ergonomic functionality of the door. Some pull handles may have a square shape, which can be harder to grip, while others are round and chunky or slim. Consider factors such as personal preference, ease of use, and any specific needs of household members. The design of the door itself, whether traditional or contemporary, should also influence the choice of door pull handle design.

 

How to Install Door Pull Handle

 

 

Your door pull handle will come with several components, including machine screws, washers, and possibly other accessories. Familiarize yourself with these parts before you begin. Start by inserting the machine screw through the washer. This setup ensures that the screw will hold the handle securely in place without damaging the door's surface. Before moving on, double-check that you have all the parts assembled correctly. This will save you time and frustration later in the installation process.

 

Using your measuring tape and pencil, mark the spots where you'll drill the holes for the screws. Ensure that the measurements are accurate to avoid any misalignment. With your dil, carefully create the holes at the marked spots. Make sure to use a drill bit that's appropriate for the size of your screws. After dilling, clean up any debris from the area. This will make it easier to attach the pull handle without any obstructions.

 

Place the pull handle against the door, aligning it with the holes you've dilld Make sure it's level before you proceed. Insert the machine screws through the handle and into the holes. Use your screwdriver to tighten them, ensuring the handle is securely attached to the door. Once the screws are tightened, give the pull handle a gentle tug to ensure it's stable. If it feels loose, tighten the screws a bit more.

 

If you're installing a back-to-back handle, position the second pull handle on the opposite side of the door, aligning it with the first pull handle. Insert the screws through the second handle and into the first pull handle, connecting them through the door. This configuration provides additional stability and a cohesive look. Use your screwdriver to tighten the screws, ensuring both handles are securely attached and aligned with each other.

 

Set screws are often found on the side of the pull handle. These small screws help secure the pull handle in place and prevent it from rotating. Using a smaller screwdriver or Allen wrench, tighten the set screws. Make sure they're firmly in place but be careful not to over-tighten, as this could strip the screws. Give the handle one last check for stability and alignment. Make any necessary adjustments to ensure everything is perfect.

How to Clean Door Pull Handle

Mild Soap and Water: For most door pull handles, a solution of mild soap and water is sufficient for regular cleaning. This combination effectively removes dirt, oils, and light stains without harming the surface. If your door pull handles are particularly dirty or have stubborn stains, a mixture of vinegar and water can be used as a natural alternative.

Soft Cloth Application: Use a soft microfibre cloth or sponge to apply the cleaning solution to door pull handles.

Dry Thoroughly: After cleaning, ensure the door pull handles are thoroughly dried with a soft cloth to prevent water spots or streaks from forming on the surface.

Polishing: For added shine, you can use a commercial polish occasionally. Apply a small amount to a soft cloth and gently polish the handles in circular motions.

 

FAQ
 

Q: What are the standards for door pull handles?

A: The bottom fixing of the door pull handle should be fixed between 700mm and 1000mm above the finished floor level. The top fixing of the door pull handle should be fixed no lower than 1300mm above the finished floor level.

Q: How do door pull handle doors work?

A: They consist of one length of material attached to the door with two screws called 'centres', and which can be attached either vertically or horizontally. The user grips hold of the long handle to open the door, and hence the handle supports the pulling action and spreads the weight across a larger area.

Q: How far from the edge of a door should a door pull handle be?

A: Note: The center point of the door pull handle should be three feet above the bottom edge of the door. Avoid placing the door pull handle too close to the edge of the door. Placing the pull handle too close to the edge can damage both door and pull handle.

Q: What are ADA guidelines for door pull handles?

A: The ADA requires that operable parts of door hardware be a minimum height of 34 inches and a maximum height of 48 inches, with a maximum required force of 5 pounds. That means the door closer resistance must be 5 pounds or less to accommodate users' various upper extremity abilities.

Q: What are the advantages of door pull handles?

A: The door pull handle can take the shape of a wave, an arch or a straight line, be rectangular or have a circular cross-section. It can also vary in length, what allows it to perfectly match the style of the building and the door.

Q: How do you know if a door pull handle will fit?

A: Measure the distance between the outside edge of the door and the centre of the spindle hole. This measurement is your backset measurement. Traditional door handles require a latch with a backset of 45mm (64mm case size). However, some may require a backset of 57mm (76mm case size).

Q: How high is a door pull handle for disabled access?

A: The handle and lock placement is also very important and should be positioned between 0.90m and 1.00m from the floor to ensure they're within easy, comfortable reach for most wheelchair users.

Q: Can door pull handles be left or right?

A: To identify if you require a right-handed or left-handed pull handle, simply stand on the side of the door where the door closes towards you. If the door is hinged to the right, you require a right-handed pull handle. If the door is hinged to the left, you will need a left-handed pull handle.

Q: What size are standard door pull handles?

A: Standard base and wall cabinets are usually between 12 and 36 inches. If this is the case, it's typical to use 3- or 4-inch pull handles. If your cabinets are larger than standard, you'll need larger pulls. Look for ones that run between 6 and 12 inches.

Q: How to remove oxidation from door pull handles?

A: Mix a tiny amount of lemon juice and baking soda in a bowl until it forms a thick paste — use a minimal amount of lemon juice at a time, as this can be harsh in large quantities. Cover the door pull handle or knob in a thin layer of the paste. Let the paste settle for 2-3 minutes. Wipe away the paste using a soft cloth.

Q: How to clean pitted chrome door pull handles?

A: The best bet, once chrome has been washed with soapy water and dried, is to use a metal polish or chrome cleaner to get rid of any pitting or discolouration. A cheaper option, though, is to use some kitchen tin foil and a light oil or polish instead.

Q: What door pull handles are timeless?

A: Brass brings a warmth and lustrous elegance, effortlessly aligning with the timeless design aesthetic. Nickel offers a touch of modernity in both satin and bright nickel.
