The appearance and functionality of your front door is just as important as the rest of your home. To achieve just the right balance of the two, you will want to choose the right hardware to pair with your door. This might include knockers, handles, peepholes, and more.
Here are some tips on how to choose the right door hardware for your needs:
- Consider your security preferences. Your needs for security might depend on the location of your home, surrounding neighbors, comfort levels, and household members. If you need increased security, you might choose door hardware like more extensive locksets to make it more difficult to break in. You can also add a viewer or peephole to the door to allow you to see the visitor before opening the door to a potential stranger.
- Account for accessibility. If you need easier accessibility from your door, there is a variety of door hardware to choose from. You can choose knobs or handles that make it easier to open the door even when your hands are full. You can also choose different door hinges to allow for a wider opening in the doorway.
- Complement your home’s aesthetic. Your door hardware can also affect the aesthetic appeal of your home. You might choose different knobs or knockers to create a classier style or replace your existing hardware to have a different finish to better match the overall style of your home.
