What are door handles?

Let's start with the big question: “what are door handles?” Simple, handles (also door handles ) are attached to the door so that you can open the door easily. Everyone knows this, but did you also know that door handles consist of different parts? Each door handle consists of the handle itself and the mounting. In general, the handles are the same on both sides, but you can choose to have a different inner door handle than the outer door handle. This can be a good choice, especially at the front door, to better secure your door with security fittings (more about that later). Door handles fall within the umbrella term ' door fittings '.
