Some good news at last

Our front door handles have now been installed and the doors are fully functional :)

The storm door seals have also been installed.

The doors "just" need to be spray painted now.

Rectangular, round or square pull handles?

I have been unable to find slightly rounded pull handles that both Anette and KL suggested :(

I've only found rectangle, square or round ones. If anyone comes across the slightly rounded ones please let me know :)

So, if we have to choose between rectangle, round or square, which one should we go for?

 Rectangle - 40mm x 20mm

Round - 32mm



Square - 30mm x 30mm

What type and size of handle to go for?

Our escutcheon (the key thinggo) will be 1m off the ground. We've got an option of either installing the handle above the escutcheon or offset it to the sides. If we go with offset handles we can go with longer ones. Which size and type of handles would you recommend?


600mm handles above the escutcheon.




1.2m offset handles


B

Offset pull handles or not?

Our escutcheon and mortice locks have been installed at 1m from the ground. Leaving us with only 1.4m above to work with.
We think having a long handle and pushing it all the way to the top (ie, not centering) would look weird, so we are thinking a 600mm would be the most appropriate.

Another option is for us to go with an offset type pull handle. This would mean that we could center it and go with a longer one, but it will go over the grooved rectangles on the door. An example of an offset type pull handle:

What do you think? Should we go for a shorter (600mm) normal pull handle or a longer offset type one?

Good luck with your surgery KL. Hope it all goes smoothly X
