Types and features of operation of handles for plastic doors

Plastic doors, which have long been used in our country, are a modern and reliable way to delimit premises. However, no door can do without a handle. Handles for doors made of PVC, should be selected with special care. So, you should consider the direct purpose of the door and its location, as well as the intended set of functions that it will perform. It is necessary to consider in more detail what other features should be paid attention to when choosing accessories, what types of structures exist and what they are intended for.

A plastic door handle is not a luxury, but a necessity. In order to fully fulfill its mission, it must have the following characteristics:

• functionality (some models can perform not only the function of handles, but also include a lock);
• ergonomics (convenience and comfort are quite important indicators, because you will use this element all the time);
• Compliance with the design (whatever one may say, but the handle should not be an accent element of the interior, rather, on the contrary, it should become its inconspicuous detail)

In addition, it should be noted that the handles themselves, despite the fact that they are designed for a plastic door, can be made of various materials (artificial or natural). This characteristic should also pay close attention when choosing and buying accessories.

Today, the construction market offers a large assortment of handles designed for doors that are made of PVC. It is worth considering the most popular varieties.

Such structures do not have any connection with constipation, so they are most often used for full or partial opening of the door. This species is divided into three subgroups.

• The bracket is intended mainly for entrance doors. Such a model can often be seen in stores and supermarkets, shopping centers, cinemas and other public places. In addition, a similar option is often used in office space.

• Shell. These models can be metal-plastic or aluminum. Their main role is the implementation of the door from the street side.
• Petal. This pen is similar to the previous version, but is available only in plastic form.

This is the second large group, which includes several subgroups. The main difference between moving and stationary is their ability to change their position in space.

• Push unilateral. This version is designed for installation in the room, most often fixed on the balcony doors or doors leading to the terrace. With this model, you can close the door with a key on the lock, but only on one side. Sometimes these handles are supplied with anti-hacking systems and various latches.

• Push bilateral. This model is perfect for interior doors. It can be equipped with a keyhole with a key.
• Handles for balcony doors. Another bilateral option, the outer handle of which is quite narrow, which was done primarily to save space.

In addition to these models, there are other options. So, turning models, and also handles bolts and handles buttons are popular. Often, these options have great functionality and combine several characteristics at once.

There are several criteria that you need to pay close attention to before buying a pen. So, you should consider the location of the door on which the handle will be installed. If this door is an interior door, then you can choose the most simple and standard option, devoid of security systems. And also it should be noted that for interior doors, in addition to the door to the bathroom, it is customary to install a double-sided handle, which makes it possible to open the door both from the inside and the outside. Otherwise (if you install the handle on the door that goes out) you should think about security measures. Perhaps you should purchase a handle that contains a lock inside it and is equipped with an anti-burglary or anti-vandal system.In addition, handles installed on the entrance doors must have characteristics that protect them from the harmful effects of the environment, in particular - they must be airtight.

Another important factor is the need for airing. If such a need exists, then a shell handle or a petal is useful. Also, when choosing accessories, pay special attention to the instructions for use, which indicate the manufacturer. This is necessary in order to avoid buying low-quality or fake product. What type of handle you would not choose, make sure that it can be dismantled only on one side. The door handle should not be able to be removed from the back side. When all functional issues are resolved, attention should be paid to the external characteristics, namely the design of the pen. Fittings must match the door, as well as fit into the overall design of the room. It is no secret that even small, poorly chosen parts can spoil the overall impression of the room.

First of all, you should make sure that the handle has been installed correctly.To do this, in the process of fixing it is necessary to strictly follow the instructions. Once it has been installed and entered into service, you should closely monitor its condition. If any difficulties appear (for example, you notice that the door does not close to the end due to improper operation of the handle), you should immediately start repairing it. And also it should be ensured that the handle fits snugly to the door and does not flare up. If this happens, the fittings need to be adjusted (usually a cross-head screwdriver is used for this).

If the handle core broke (this applies to models equipped with a lock), then you should immediately replace it. You should not try to fix the accessories - unauthorized introduction into the mechanism may entail even greater difficulties. In addition, it is important to carefully and carefully handle the part - do not sharply pull or turn the handle. Such aggressive actions may violate integrity. So, the choice of accessories for the door - it is quite time-consuming, but at the same time, an important process. You should be guided by several criteria, the most important of which is functionality.
