Storm doors can be someone’s first impression when they enter your home. Storm doors come in a variety of styles and finishes. Details can make a difference in how your storm door looks and coordinates with the rest of the design details of your home. If you are not sure what style and handle hardware is the best fit to complement your entry door, call on storm door experts like the team at Master Seal. In some cases, certain handle types will work better than others, depending on the existing entry door and the door opening itself. For help with selecting storm doors and storm door installation, contact Master Seal at 855.608.1580 or online today.
Popular Storm Door Handle Types
Storm doors and the coordinating hardware have many options. The most standard storm door handles fall into one of four categories
- Push button – Push button handles are surface mounted and include the button mechanism at the top of a handle that faces downward. They have been popular for many years.
- Pull handle – This is also a surface mounted style that—no surprise—requires you to pull the handle to operate the door. This style can also include a separate deadlock to lock the door from the inside.
- Mortise – Probably one of the most popular current styles, the mortise style comes as a set that has the same style of handle on both the exterior and interior of the door. Handle styles themselves are varied and can fit any design vibe you are after.
- Knob – The simplest of designs, a knob is surface mounted on the door with the latching hardware inside the door. They can be locked with a twisting mechanism on the interior and a key lock on the exterior.
Designer finishes are endless, so you can find other options if you are looking for something very particular or custom. Doors themselves can be painted in a variety of colors and door handles and hardware can be customized in finishes to coordinate with the rest of your home.
Installing a New Storm Door
When you decide on your storm door style and handle hardware selection, then it’s time to order and get it installed. You certainly have choices when it comes to where you purchase your door and whether you install it yourself or have it installed professionally. Whatever choice you make, keep all the extras in mind as well. If you purchase from a larger home improvement store, delivery may be an extra cost. If you choose a local home improvement installer that also allows you to purchase directly through them, then you can bundle the cost of the door, delivery, and installation into one price.
Home improvement companies like Master Seal can help with other projects as well, like:
- Steel security doors
- Entry doors
- Window security bars
- Energy-efficient vinyl replacement window sales and installation
- Architectural pediments and pilasters
Getting quotes from multiple retailers and installers is always a good idea so that you can see what the local offerings are, and make a decision that works best for you.
