Swing handles

When it comes to swing handles, many different types and styles are available. Some may be better suited for your specific needs than others, so it’s crucial that you choose the right one for your business.

 

Usage

Swing handles can be used on all types of doors, including interior and exterior. Furthermore, they are also available for both commercial and residential applications. However, swing handles are typically used on sliding or swinging doors because they provide more security than other door types, such as deadbolts or handleless entry systems.

 

Main Functions

The primary function is to open and close doors, windows, drawers and cabinets. Above this, they allow you to move the door away from its frame so that you can position it where needed without bending down or reaching over your head. The opening mechanism consists of the baseplate and the pivot arm, which attaches directly to this baseplate using bolts or screws (depending on the model).

 

What kind of swing handle should you choose?

There are several factors to consider when choosing a suitable swing handle for your door.

  • Weight: The door’s weight might vary depending on its size and type. Therefore it’s essential to choose a handle that matches up with what you have. For example, if your door is heavy enough to require two people to move it, it will be too much for most single-person handles (which use lighter materials).
  • Type: You should also consider whether or not there are any safety issues with using certain types of hardware. Some doors need special hardware because they have glass panels inside them. These could break if someone tries to open them manually by hand.
  • Style: Design is also essential, especially regarding visible cabinets and enclosures. Stainless steel, for example, is known for its modern and professional appearance.

 

Components of Swing Handles

Swing handles consist of two main components – a base and an armature. The base supports your hand during use and should be made from durable materials such as steel or aluminium. It should withstand constant use without breaking down over time. The armature holds up your hand while swinging; it should have a smooth finish so that you don’t get scratches while using it regularly over time.

 

Aluminium swing handles

They’re easy to install, stable and long-lasting. Aluminium is also a lightweight material. In addition, aluminium is an affordable material that will suit most budgets.

 

Steel swing handles

These are very durable and, therefore, ideal for heavy-duty use. The durability comes from the material’s strength, which makes it difficult to break or damage when used outdoors.

In addition, you can also choose between an adjustable or non-adjustable version.

 

Stainless Steel swing handles

Stainless steel swing handles are the most popular choice for outdoor use. They’re also suitable for high-traffic areas and commercial spaces since they can withstand heavy wear and tear without damaging the material.

Above this they have another advantage that makes them particularly attractive: they won’t rust or corrode in wet environments as other materials might. This makes them ideal for places where it may rain regularly.
