Choosing a round doorknob

In a large city apartment, it is impossible to do without interior doors. They are decorated with door handles, which differ in their shape, principle of operation, and variety of shades. To match the door leaf with the interior, most buyers choose the round doorknob.

Round handles for interior doors have a number of positive qualities. These include:

• low cost;
• variety of shades;
• easy installation;
• a huge assortment from different manufacturers;
• long service life;
• installation on any door, regardless of the opening method;
• the round handle is always compatible with the door lock;
• simple repair.

By their functional purpose, the products are divided into several types, depending, rather, on the premises, on the doors on which they are installed:

• on the front doors;
• on interior doors;
• on the doors of toilets and bathrooms;
• on special-purpose doors of the "anti-panic" type.

The door handle is distinguished by its design features. Depending on the installation, the products are divided into several groups:

• stationary (motionless);
• push;
• swivel.

The simplest mechanisms can be called fixed devices for installation in interior doors. They are screwed into the canvas at the desired height. Such products perform only one function - they open or close doors.

These models fall into two groups:

• paired;
• single.

The first subgroup includes mechanisms that are installed on both sides of the canvas. They are secured with a long pin. Single devices are installed on one side and screwed with ordinary self-tapping screws.

Installation of stationary products is very easy. It does not require professional experience. The round doorknob simply locks into place. It is enough to fix the product with bolts.

The simplest is considered to be an overhead round door handle. These products do not have latches. These models are mainly mounted on furniture. The round product can be installed on the kitchen door. It is also suitable for interior units equipped with special locking mechanisms.

A ball-shaped design is called a knob. In order for the latch to take effect, you just need to turn the ball. There is a keyhole in the center of the mechanism. Such a push-button handle (knob) is most often mounted in a toilet room. Outside, the door is locked with a key. From the inside, an ordinary button located directly on the device.

Push systems include structures in which an L-shaped handle is installed to open the door. It contains a latch for securing the door leaf when it is closed.

Round push-on products are completed with lamellar pads. They are used in conjunction with a lock, where the opening is carried out with a regular key.

All models are equipped with a locking mechanism with a latch. After pressing the handle, the latch comes out of the door jamb, hiding deep in the canvas. The door opens freely. After slamming the tongue back into place, the door closes securely.

These products, made by the world's best manufacturers, are considered the most convenient for installation in interior doors. The technological design of the mechanism is highly reliable in comparison with other similar mechanisms. Installation of pressure devices can be done by hand, without the help of professionals.

The main difference between round rotary handles and push mechanisms is the opening system. To do this, you need to turn the handle, usually in the opposite direction from the jamb. Swivel structures are round in shape. Made from different materials.

Such systems are very fond of installing into interior doors by people who adore flat surfaces. They do not need any bulges or unnecessary elements on the doors. In their opinion, the surface of the door leaf should be perfectly smooth. Hidden devices are considered the most modern technological designs.

The principle of operation of such pens is no different from other mechanisms. The dimensions of the built-in structure correspond to the thickness of the door leaf. This condition must be met.

The range of handles installed in interior doors is simply huge. These devices are made from different materials, which affect the design and cost of the product itself.

This hardware belongs to the budget option. It is available to almost everyone. Handles for doors of medical institutions are made of this material. They can differ in their design and color. Unfortunately, the quality of these pens is poor.

The most popular door handles are products made of good steel. Its structure enables manufacturers to produce handles of any shape. Due to their high strength, such products can be used for many years.

Today, doorknobs made from wood are much less common than their metal counterparts. But at all times, the beauty of natural wood has always found its admirers, because the tree never heats up, it is easy to turn.

One of the disadvantages of such a pen is considered to be a short service life when compared with metal products. The most reliable handle is considered to be a hybrid of these materials.

This material for door handles is used very rarely, as such devices are always subject to increased wear. In addition, glass is considered a brittle material. It is necessary to press harder and the handle will simply crumble, the accessories will have to be thrown away, and the hand should be treated for cuts.

Glass handles are produced in a round shape and have miniature dimensions. Each product is distinguished by its own designer inserts, which can be steel or wood. The beauty of some of the products is simply amazing. Some works of authorship are simply difficult to look away from. Only a very rich person can buy such an unusual pen.

Stone handles are very rare on interior doors. They are installed on custom-made canvases to match the author's interior.

When choosing a handle equipped with a latch, it is necessary to take into account what material it is made of. Mainly manufacturers use:

• aluminum;
• brass;
• steel;
• copper;
• silumin;
• wood;
• glass.

From the entire list, only glass and silumin are afraid of mechanical stress. All metal products must be chrome plated to exclude the appearance of corrosion.The most widespread are brass products. They are of high quality and low price.

When choosing a door handle, it is necessary to take into account the technology of mounting the latch handle. For replacement, you only need to buy a product with a similar design. Any fittings are suitable for installation in a new canvas.

To mount the magnetic clips, it is enough to make a small indentation. Great care should be taken when installing the magnet as it breaks easily.

When choosing fittings for your interior doors, do not forget about the interior. The design of the handle should match the environment.

It is recommended to mount the rotary handles in the direction of the door opening direction.

Locking halyard systems are installed in thick leaves. A thin millimeter layer should remain on both sides.

In children's rooms, it is better to install roller clips. They make it easy to open the door leaf.

It is better to install silent mechanisms on the bedroom door.
