The device of the door handle of the interior door
Staple-shaped overhead pens
The simplest model, designed only for more comfortable operation of doors. They are used if the door does not lock, or in combination with a separately installed lock (overhead or mortise).
Modern manufacturers offer a diverse range of products, presented as traditional brackets without any frills, as well as products with a sophisticated finish or in the form of interesting figures of plant elements, animals, semicircular and broken lines. Installing simple door handles without parts (for example, latches) will not require additional steps. They are simply fixed with screws in the right place.
Twisting
Such a model consists of two elements (most often spherical in shape) located symmetrically on both sides of the door and connected by a single metal axis that passes through all the parts.
Door handles on a level
The most common model in the form of a lever. Combines 2 functions at once - makes it possible to open the door and provides locking. The handle with the help of springs interacts with the latch tongue, which prevents free opening. Often, such products have a locking mechanism or stopper, due to which it is impossible to open the door from the outside.
Door handles with a latch in the form of a disk or ball
Another model is door handles with a latch in the form of a disk or ball with a rotary mechanism. By the device, they are identical to the lever ones, only the handle in this case rotates around the axis, thereby ensuring the release of the latch.
Both round and pivot door handles can be attached to a rosette. Instead of a fixing strip, a round figured plate is used as a basis, which looks more refined and stylish and allows you to brighterly beat the interior.
Knob Handles
The most complex mechanism possess knoby. They consist of a rotary spherical handle hiding a locking device. The original stylish design of such models looks impressive in the interiors, however, the mechanism itself is rather capricious and not particularly convenient in operation.
Latch mechanism for door handle: varieties
Almost all mortise handles for interior doors are equipped with latches of various types of designs. This makes it easy to open the door and ensures its reliable closing. The following types are used in production:
Roller door handles - easy to install on almost all types of door handles. The principle of the mechanism is this: a spring-loaded ball or roller when closing the door falls into the groove and holds it in the appropriate position, allowing, if necessary, to open the door effortlessly.
Magnetic door handles are very soft to operate and completely silent. The design consists of two powerful magnets located on a jamb and on a door opposite each other.This model of handles is considered the most comfortable to use, since the doors open very easily and smoothly.
File door handles - used on movable models. When closing the door under the action of a spring, a tongue of an oblique shape enters the groove of the jamb. When opening, he hides in the door. This mechanism allows you to quickly open it without a key and securely lock.
Door handle materials for interior doors
Modern technologies and processing methods allow you to create accessories from different materials: wood, metal, plastic, special tempering glass, a variety of natural raw materials (horns, bones).
Often used a combination of materials - steel and glass, metal with wood or plastic. Which option to choose depends on your goals and taste preferences. It is worth remembering that for each room this or that type of pens will be preferable. For a children's room or bedroom, the best option is roller or magnetic latches on the doors, which will help keep silence. It is also advisable to use them in older people's rooms or children's rooms.
Handles with locks are usually installed in office rooms or workrooms. Push models are more convenient than swivels or knobs; for their comfortable operation it is not necessary to have dry and strong hands. If the doors open outward, you can even push the lever with your elbow.
