What is a door handle? A simple explanation of the door handle!

The door handle (Türklinke) is that element of a door which opens an unlocked door when pressed down. When a person presses the door handle, the latch (Schlossfalle) is pulled out of the strike plate (Schließblech) in the door frame, retracts into the interior of the forend (Stulp), and the door can be opened.

If you want to close a door without locking it with a key, you do not need to operate the door handle; instead, it is sufficient to give the door a light nudge. The latch then clicks back into place in the strike plate by itself. This is also the reason why so many people accidentally lock themselves out of their homes – because this nudge is not always given by a human hand, but sometimes, for example, by a gust of wind.

Door handles are available in many different shapes, colors, and materials, from antique to modern. Door handles are also called lever handle sets (Drückergarnituren) or door grips. In some countries, for example Great Britain and France, round door knobs that must be turned to open a door are more common than door handles. However, door handles are easier to open than door knobs; even if a person is severely restricted in their mobility or happens to not have a free hand, they usually manage to operate the door handle successfully.

Finding the Right Door Handle

Door handles are products that allow for a great deal of design freedom. They can consist of stainless steel, brass, aluminum, or plastic and can look entirely different. Whether matte or glossy, whether simply straight or stylishly curved, the selection is truly large, and there is certainly a suitable door handle for every interior design style and every taste. Anyone looking for door handles should definitely take their time with the search, because the diverse range can sometimes make it all the harder to ultimately make a decision.

Door handles are generally not particularly expensive. Simple models are already available for eight to ten euros, and there is also plenty of choice in the ten to 30 euro range. More expensive models can also cost up to 40 euros and sometimes even more.
