4. Do you need a lock?

You may want to consider whether your new door handle needs to come with a lock. Bathroom doors and bedroom doors can be fitted with locks to ensure your belongings are secure. However, it is best to choose a door handle without a lock for children's bedrooms or other general room interior doors in the house.

5. Which finish choosing?

Doors come in a variety of colors and finishes. Consider the overall interior style of your home; if it is a more traditional or even period property, brass finishes will look timeless and classic.
