Door Entry Sets

Every door in the home requires a handle for proper operation. The handle provides access into the space and keeps the door secure. Refreshing the look and function of a door is as easy as applying a fresh coat of paint and replacing the handle and deadbolt.

Types of Door Entry Sets

The first step in selecting the ideal door handle set is determining which type of handle set best suits the door.

Handle Sets

Handle sets provide a traditional level of security to entry doors around the home. The keyed design features a lock on the top and a handle directly beneath. The handle itself typically features a thumb latch that opens the door once unlocked. The handle design is one of the most popular entry door designs, as opposed to knob and lever designs.

Keyless Entry

Instead of fumbling around for the keys, opt for a keyless entry handle design. These styles use a keycode panel or Smartphone device to lock or unlock the door. The convenience of the design makes this set a great choice for large families. Make a keyless entry system the first component of a complete smart home, looking for additional products and appliances with Bluetooth connectivity. Light bulbs, outlets, and major home appliances are also available for smart home integration.

One Piece Entry Set

One-piece handles provide the function of a traditional handle set in a single, streamlined look. The lock and handle are all featured on the same panel for a minimalist effect.

Door Lock Combo Packs

Door lock combo packs combine a deadbolt and locking door knob with a matching design. This classic arrangement is popular for front and back entry doors and is easy to install on most pre-drilled doors.

Mortise Locks

When it comes to ultimate security, a mortise lock provides ultimate reliability. Mortise locks feature a large, heavy-duty body outfitted with a deadbolt, latch bolt, and stop. The design requires professional installation and makes a lasting addition suitable for most door and heavy trim types.

Electronic Commercial Locks

When locking up a store or business, commercial-grade electronic locks provide individual codes for the various employees that need access to the space. When shopping for a commercial entry set, look for the grade of BHMA Certification.

Add Style by Selecting a Door Entry Set Theme

Theme

Staying in keeping with the overall design theme of the home is essential when selecting a door handle set. The color scheme of the home, architectural features, and popular design themes include:

• Contemporary

• Modern

• Traditional

• Transitional

• Commercial

• Rustic

• Retro

• Botanical

• Craftsman

• Vintage

Finish

The style of the handle you choose is further enhanced by the finish you select. Review the metallic details around the rest of the space to ensure the handle finish coordinates with the existing design details.

Handing

Does the door open to the right or the left? The arrangement of the door determines the type of handing required for proper operation. Left-handed sets and right-handed sets can only be used in one direction. For more versatility, opt for a reversible design.

So Many Options to Secure Your Home

While these are the main considerations in selecting a handle set, there are additional factors that can help narrow down the options, revealing the ideal design for the space. Door thickness, backset measurements, overall measurements of the hardware are all factors in finding the ideal fit. Exterior doors are thicker in design than interior doors, with most exterior doors measuring 1 ¾ inch thick. If the door is thicker and thinner, take care to ensure the handle will fit the door design. With so many different door entry sets from which to choose, it is easy to discover one that will make accessing your home efficient.
