Everyone will agree with the statement that only at home can a person feel safe. Entering an apartment or a cottage, you can finally relax and feel relaxed and comfortable. And the walls and doors give a sense of security to our home. The durability and reliability of the latter, in turn, depends in many respects on the components. These include accessories for the door. Currently, there are a huge number of companies on the market offering these accessories to the public.
What is hardware?
Door hardware is a set of elements, including locks, chains, latches, closers, handles, latches, hinges and others. The choice of any part should be taken seriously: even a minor malfunction of the selected accessory threatens to result in a malfunction in the door mechanism. Or, even worse, to the failure of it.
Accessories for the door also carries an aesthetic component. With its help, even an extraordinary box can acquire a rich and luxurious look. Do not forget that this takes into account numerous parameters. So, the selected fittings should be combined with the interior and design of the room. It is necessary to take into account the material and dimensions of the door itself so that the accessories do not look ridiculous. If the details are selected for interior partitions, the degree of the expected load and the features of the wall opening should be calculated and evaluated.
Appointment of critical components
The main and most important role played by door hardware is to regulate the process of unobstructed opening and closing of doors. The wear of the hinges warns the closer. This is a special device that works on a mechanical or hydraulic principle, contributing to a “soft” door cover. In order to avoid impacts of a wooden cloth against a wall, it is customary to install stoppers. And the damper will allow the door to close slowly.
In order to attach a wooden canvas to the opening, loops are used. At the same time, this door hardware is of several types. Those that equip the “portal” with the ability to open both inward and outward are bar loops. They are also called the "metro". Hidden hinges cannot be detected if the door is closed. There are also screw-in and surface-mounted types of this accessory.
Do not forget about the pens. There is no limit to manufacturers' fantasies. However, regardless of style and material, they can be only a few types. So, for doors without a latch, a handle-bracket can be used. The interior “gates” are optionally equipped with one of the following three types: halyard, rotary button and blind button. In this case, the first and second handles can also be used for entrance doors. Glossy, chrome-plated, steel, brass or gold, of different styles and shapes - the buyer will find delightful options to your taste and wallet.
Sliding doors and balcony openings
However, not only interior and exterior doors require additional details. This also applies to cabinets and balconies. Accessories for sliding doors are various types of rollers and guides. They allow the canvas to be in a vertical position and at the same time move freely along the "rails". The durability of the cabinets depends on the quality of the selected parts.
The accessories for the balcony door and windows are selected based on the design of the openings. The load, temperature difference, materials used, etc. are taken into account. Such accessories include: trunnions, handles, ventilators, latches, locks and others.
In any case, no matter what the door is or what it is intended for, its durability and appearance depend on the quality of components.
