There is no denying that you want iron doors for your home. Not only do they provide a luxurious and elegant look, but they also help make a statement. When it comes to choosing the right style for your entryway, there’s more to it than just selecting the right door. Your decisions also include picking the perfect hardware. If you’re unsure where to start or what options might be available, a professional is here to help you navigate the process of choosing the right style for your home.
Choosing the Right Handle and Lock
Every door has two components that help to pull together the entire look: the handle and the lock. After all, you must be able to grab onto something to enter your home, and there must be a mechanism that allows you to keep others out. This is why selecting the right door for your home is more than just choosing the right material. You must also identify how you want the entire piece to look to ensure a cohesive look for your home.
When talking to a professional, you’ll want to think about your desired style, how the hardware will fit, and which options match. If you’re ordering a new door, this process can be a bit easier, as you’ll essentially be starting from scratch. But no matter where you are in the process, here are a few great tips to remember:
- Make sure the handle and lock fit. You’ll want to measure the areas for the handle and lock to ensure the option you choose will fit properly. This will help you narrow down your options as well.
- Consider the style. Do you want something ornate? Do you prefer modern? Are you looking to create an even bigger statement with a long handle? The choice is ultimately yours, but you’ll want to make sure it matches. If you’re having trouble, a professional can help you better select the right door hardware.
Creating a Cohesive Look
Once you’ve established which door handle and lock you want, it’s important that everything comes together and appear naturally. No one wants to have an entryway that looks pieced together. Your iron doors should create a solid look that allows the handle and lock to blend in as if they were simply “made that way.” Choosing the right finish for your hardware can help make this possible.
Your entryway is where your home begins. By taking the time to select the right accessories for your door, you’ll make a statement that leaves others in awe.
