Five Tips for Buying Door Hardware
Theres nothing that enhances style and function quite like new
door hardware. Its the first thing that catches the eye at the
front door, and it feels good in hand throughout the home. Here
are five tips to simplify the buying process.
What are the different types of door hardware?
Entry hardware installs on exterior doors, and includes knobs or
handlesets (handle with deadbolt) that lock with keys or touch
pads from the outside and turnbuttons from inside. A deadbolt
lock optimizes security.
Privacy hardware is designed for bedrooms and bathrooms, locking
with turnbuttons and not requiring keys.
Passage knobs and levers are designed for hallway doors, laundry
rooms and closet doors that latch but dont lock.
Dummy knobs and levers are decorative hardware pieces designed
for pantry doors or other doors that only require a pull to open,
with no latch or lock.What safety features are available?
The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) sets different
grades for door hardware, such as Grade 1 (basic), Grade 2
(intermediate), and Grade 3 (highest). These days, with more and
more intruders using "bump keys"--a key that can open almost any
lock--or locksmith tools once intended only to resolve accidental
lockouts, many manufacturers offer bump-resistant cylinders.
Will it fit my door?
* Standard doors are either 1-3/8 or 1-3/4 inches thick, with
most hardware designed to adjust for either. Extension kits are
available for thicker doors.

* Most hardware is interchangeable, only requiring that the
backset
( https://images-na.ssl-images-.com/images/G/01/th/detail-page/backset_large.jpg )
(the distance from the edge of the door to the center of the
knob or lock, usually 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inches) matches the hole(s)
in the door so that the latch or bolt throws properly. Some
hardware sets adjust for both backset lengths.
* Levers come in both left- and right-handed models. To determine
the appropriate handing, look at the doors hinges from outside
the door. If the hinges are on the left, youll need a
left-handed lever. If the hinges are on the right, you need a
right-handed lever.Can I install it myself?
Most door hardware, including keypads and deadbolts, installs in
under an hour with only a Philips screwdriver. Most keypads are
powered by batteries, so no wiring is required. Handlesets
sometimes require a drill. If the door or doorframe is not
predrilled, door hardware usually comes with a paper template to
mark holes for drilling and sawing with common spade bits and
hole saws. Specialized tool sets also are available for
door-hardware installation.
If you want to use one key on multiple entry handles or
deadbolts, you will need a locksmith to "re-key" all the locks to
the same key. This should be done before installation and only
will work if all the hardware comes from the same manufacturer.
What cool hardware features are available nowadays?
Keypad locks and deadbolts let you add and delete numerous user
codes as needed, providing family members, neighbors, baby- or
pet-sitters with easy-to-remember codes. Cool for parents and
great for keeping kids out of cleaning closets and utility rooms,
some keypads have auto-lock mechanisms that lock after a few
seconds in case you forget.
Once used only for government applications (as depicted in
high-tech movies), biometric keyless entry systems, which
scan dozens of different fingerprints for easy access, also are
growing in popularity.
