Door Entry Systems
Weighty doors and door hardware. If you’re designing a new home or renovating one, take the opportunity to open and close a hollow-core door at the same time as a solid core door. While you’re at it, hold doorknobs of varying weights at the same time. Ask yourself which feels better and which will hold up better. Chances are, it’ll be the solid-core door and the heavier hardware. These will just feel “right” every time you open and close that door and every time you walk into and out of that room. And while you’re at it, make sure that all of the door’s hardware has the same finish and is consistent in its style. So if the knob is oil-rubbed bronze, make the hinges, strike plate and other hardware the same. This one small choice communicates just how important the details are to you.
