What to confirm before you order door hardware
Door hardware is a small part of a building, but it is used every day. The right handle, lock and hinge keep a door working smoothly and securely. Before you order, confirm the door prep, the function you need and the finish that matches the project. This guide walks through the decisions for each part.
Door handles: match the lever to the door prep
A lever handle is the part you grip to open the door. The two things that matter most are the door prep and the finish.
- Backset and bore size: confirm the distance from the door edge to the latch hole and the bore diameter so the handle spindle and rose fit.
- Handing: if the handle is directional, confirm whether the door is left- or right-handed.
- Finish: satin, polished and matte black are common options. Choose the finish that matches the door environment and expected wear.
Material options include zinc alloy and stainless steel. Confirm the exact grade with your supplier so the handle matches the door and the expected service life.
Door locks: choose the function for each door
Not every door needs the same lock. Choose the function by the door's role in the building.
- Privacy: for bedrooms and bathrooms, where locking from inside is enough.
- Passage: for closets and hallways, where no locking is needed.
- Keyed entry: for exterior doors, where a key is required.
Confirm the door thickness, backset and latch size so the lock body fits the door prep. The lock body is typically zinc alloy with a steel latch.
Door hinges: size them to the door weight
A hinge carries the door weight and controls the swing. The hinge size and the number of hinges per door depend on the door weight and thickness.
- Confirm the leaf size, thickness and screw pattern for the door and frame prep.
- Choose the pin type and finish for the door environment.
- Use enough hinges per door so the weight is carried evenly.
Material options include stainless steel and zinc alloy. Confirm the grade with your supplier so the hinge matches the door weight.
Door stops: protect the wall at the opening angle
A door stop protects the wall and holds the door at a controlled opening. Choose the mounting style by the door location.
- Floor-mounted: for doors where the floor is the mounting surface.
- Wall-mounted: for doors where the wall is the mounting surface.
- Baseboard: for doors near a baseboard.
Confirm the door swing and opening angle so the stop is positioned correctly.
How to compare suppliers
When you compare door hardware suppliers, ask for the same information from each one: material grade, finish options, backset and bore sizes, and the sample policy. A supplier that can confirm these details for your door prep is easier to work with than one that only quotes a price.
