Advantages of Stainless Steel Door Handle
Durability and Strength
Stainless steel door handles have durability as their main selling point. The metal is very strong and does not wear out quickly, which makes it ideal for things like front doors which are used often. These handles do not depreciate easily unlike others made from different materials hence the integrity remains intact thus preventing your door handle from looking bad or nonfunctional after a few years. Stainless steel handles are also highly resistant to rusting, corrosion and staining. This is particularly important since entrance doors are always exposed to weather elements at all times whether it's rain, snow or extreme heat from direct sunlight on a hot summer day in tropical regions where temperatures can rise above 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
Requires Less Maintenance
Stainless steel door handles have low maintenance needs as another advantage. For instance, brushed steel door handles do not catch fingerprints as much as other finishes do. Therefore they stay clean longer without many sessions of cleaning making your entrance still look good. Sometimes all you need is a wet rag to make sure that your stainless steel door handle looks new again.
Aesthetics
Apart from providing utility, stainless-steel door-handles come with great beauty too. They feature sleek modern designs that go well with different types of architectural styles ranging from contemporary to traditional ones. Stainless Steel material in hand indeed has a more neutral shade which renders it easy to mix with various door materials and finishes in order to improve the overall aspect of your entry. The brushed steel door handles give a classy touch to any door with their subtle texture and matte finish. This is because this design has a way of simultaneously taking care of both modernity and timelessness that makes it suitable for every house.
Safety and Convenience
In terms of security, entrance doors must be well-fortified. In fact, stainless steel door handles are relatively much stronger due to heavy manufacturing materials that are used. The metal is very strong such that the handle can resist immense pressure before being forced open by thieves. In addition to providing safety, stainless steel handles also offer usability. Young and old hands alike can have an easy grip on these smooth surfaced objects. Most handles made from this type of metal are designed ergonomically so that they can be easily operated without compromising on safety in any way.
Versatility
Stainless steel door handles are extremely versatile. They are available in different designs, sizes, and finishes, making it easy to find a style that suits your entryway. If you like simple things or something fancy looking, stainless steel has a handle that will fit into your preferences. The other reason why stainless steel handles are best for both residential and commercial buildings is because they last longer and have an aesthetic design as compared to other materials like plastics or glass. In terms of durability, security and beauty they can be used in many different situations like houses of ordinary people up to office buildings.
Corrosion Resistance
One of the most notable features about these items is their ability to resist rusting. From rainwater through high humidity levels even up to polluted air at times outside doors are exposed to various environmental conditions. Stainless steel normally does not corrode hence unaffected by these elements which leads into its long-lasting appearance and functionality unlike other metals which are attacked by these factors. This corrosion resistance is important in places with salty air such as coastal areas. This means that brushed steel door handles do not experience rust or tarnishing easily due to the protective layer on them. By doing this, the lifespan of the handles is lengthened while keeping them fresh-looking without much effort being put into it.
Hygienic Properties
In addition, stainless steel door handles have sanitary advantages especially when found in busy environments. Because it does not allow bacteria or germs to adhere to it due to its smooth surface; stainless steel material has limited chances for bacterial contamination thereby preventing any outbreak disease from happening among people who use such entrance doors regularly, mainly public ones.
Timeless Design
Stainless steel's timeless design makes their door handles worth investing in for homeowners since it never goes out of the current trend. Unlike trends which come and go, stainless steel handles always have a universal look that is never out of fashion due to changing styles. Their sleek modernist look fits well with contemporary architectural design while their low profile gracefulness can match with more traditional designs.
How to Replace Worn or Damaged Stainless Steel Door Handles on a Hollow Metal Door
Before starting the replacement process, it's important to gather all the necessary tools and materials. For this task, you will need:
● A replacement stainless steel door handle and any accompanying hardware
● A screwdriver (usually a Phillips head)
● A drill and drill bits (if needed)
● A measuring tapeSafety goggles and gloves (optional, but recommended)
To remove the old stainless steel door handle, start by unscrewing the screws that hold the handle in place using a screwdriver. Depending on the type of handle, you may need to remove a faceplate or cover to access the screws. Once the screws are removed, the handle should come off easily. If the handle is stubborn, use a flat-head screwdriver to gently pry it away from the door.
To ensure that the new stainless steel door handle fits properly, measure the distance between the center of the existing screw holes using a measuring tape. This measurement is known as the "backset" and is typically 2-3/8 inches or 2-3/4 inches. Once you have determined the backset, you can purchase a replacement handle that matches this measurement.
To install the new stainless steel door handle, start by inserting the latch bolt into the hole in the edge of the door. The latch bolt should be centered in the hole and extend into the door jamb when the door is closed. Secure the latch bolt with the screws provided with the new handle Next, install the outside handle by aligning it with the screw holes in the door and inserting the screws. Tighten the screws with a screwdriver, but be careful not to overtighten as this can strip the threads in the metal door.
Finally, install the inside handle in the same manner as the outside handle. Be sure to check that the handle operates smoothly and the latch bolt extends and retracts properly when the handle is turned.
After installing the new handle, test it to ensure it is functioning properly. Open and close the door several times to make sure the latch bolt is engaging properly and the door is closing securely. If the handle is loose or not working properly, double-check the installation instructions and tighten any screws that may be loose.
Why Are Some Stainless Steel Door Handles so Cheap to Buy?
Material Grade
Stainless steel comes in different grades, with varying levels of quality and durability. Lower-grade stainless steel may be less expensive due to its composition, which may contain a higher proportion of other metals or impurities. These handles might be more prone to corrosion or wear over time.
Manufacturing Process
The production methods and processes used to manufacture stainless steel door handles can vary. Mass production techniques, such as stamping or molding, can help reduce costs by increasing efficiency and lowering labor requirements. However, these processes may result in handles that are less intricate or have a simpler design.
Design and Aesthetics
The design and aesthetics of a door handle can also impact its price. Handles with basic or minimalist designs are generally less expensive than those with intricate patterns, unique shapes, or ornate details. Simpler designs require less material and may be quicker and cheaper to produce.
Branding and Marketing
The brand and marketing strategy behind a product can also influence its price. Well-known brands often command a premium for their reputation, perceived quality, and customer trust. On the other hand, lesser-known or generic brands may offer similar functionality and quality at a lower price point.
Market Competition
The pricing of stainless steel door handles can also be influenced by market competition. If there are many manufacturers or suppliers offering similar products, it can lead to price competition, driving down the prices to attract customers.
Low Quality Stainless Steel
The quality of the door handle begins with the choice of high quality material, procured from the best certified European manufacturers. Even if the material looks good when new, its lack of quality will show after the application of surface treatment. During grinding, small pores can arise, which are the side effects of casting. If the manufacturer is not trained to notice such blemishes, the door handle will begin to corrode.
Non-ferrous Metals in the Door Handle
Many manufacturers create a stainless steel tube and fill it up with non-ferrous metals (aluminium, bronze, brass, etc.), which can quickly lead to corrosion. These procedures are used for:
● Faster manufacturing,
● Simpler processes and
● Lowering prices by using cheaper metals
However, they overlook the electrochemical interaction of different metals, which creates a galvanic cell, leading to the corrosion of coloured metals when exposed to the air. Rust then moves to nearby parts (i.e. corrosion of the aluminium door panel), which then travels to the surface. This is why it is important that screws, mounts, tubes and other key materials of the door handle are made of stainless steel.
Inappropriate Surface Treatment
Correct surface treatment is the most important factor in preventing corrosion. Long-term experience in grinding offers manufacturers the necessary insight to identifying the best anti-corrosion grinding method. If the manufacturer is in a rush or does not pay special attention to this, the door handle will soon start to corrode.
● Polished door handles are definitely more resistant to corrosion than satinised door handles.
● Satinised door handles can also offer the highest protection against corrosion if taken care of properly.
● Correct polishing diminishes the small pores that can result from surface treatments. This improves corrosion resistance and reduces the absorbency of microscopic elements.
Wrong Choice of Stainless Steel Type
If the house is not near a coast, main road or other aggressive environments, then a standard 304 stainless steel (A2 4301/1.4305) is sufficient. Problems may occur when a door handle of the same stainless steel type is mounted near the sea or in an area where salty air is prominent. For such environments, 316 stainless steel (A4 1.4404) is more appropriate, since it has a greater anti-corrosion protection. If the door handle is polished and properly maintained, corrosion will not occur.
Improper Cleaning and Poor Maintenance
Incorrect cleaning and poor maintenance are the most common reasons for rapid corrosion. Stainless steel may be very resistant, but it should not be cleaned with abrasive solutions, such as cleaners for glass, ovens, silver, brass, cement stains, or soap concentrates, chlorine cleaners or solutions with hydrochloric acid, etc. The use of rough brushes with strong bristles, steel wool used for cleaning stubborn stains from dishes, the rough side of a cleaning sponge made of iron or steel fibres is also forbidden.
Poor Protective Coating
The worst coatings can even speed up the corrosion. After performing a salt spray test in which we applied 25 different protective coatings, we made a shocking discovery that only one quarter (25%) of the coatings provided adequate protection. If the door handle manufacturer and the client use one of the remaining 75% of coatings, you will not be happy in the long run.
Step-by-Step Guide to Cleaning Stainless Steel Door Handles
Dust the Handles
Use a dry soft cloth to dust the stainless steel door handles, removing any loose dirt or dust particles. This step is important because it prevents scratching the surface when you apply the cleaner.
Apply Cleaner
Spray the all-purpose cleaner onto a clean soft cloth (not directly onto the handle, as this can lead to oversaturation and damage).
Wipe Down the Handles
Gently wipe down the stainless steel door handles, paying special attention to areas that may have built-up grime or fingerprints. To clean chrome stainless steel door handles, use a simple mixture of soap and clean water to maintain their shiny finish. For ornate handles, use a soft-bristle brush to clean around intricate designs and crevices.
Rinse with Water
If you're using a cleaner that requires rinsing, lightly dampen another cloth with warm clean water and wipe down the handles again to remove any residue.
Disinfect
To ensure your stainless steel door handles are thoroughly sanitised, apply a disinfectant spray or wipe. Allow it to sit for the recommended time to effectively kill germs and bacteria.
Dry the Handles with a Soft Cloth
Using a dry microfiber cloth, thoroughly dry the stainless steel door handles. This will help prevent water spots and keep them looking shiny.
Regular Maintenance
To keep your stainless steel door handles looking their best, establish a regular cleaning schedule. Regularly cleaning door knobs is crucial to maintain their appearance and hygiene, preventing tarnishing and the buildup of dirt and bacteria. Aim to clean high-touch handles (like those on exterior doors) at least once a week, while less frequently used handles can be cleaned every few weeks.
