If you think you could get along fine in life without entry and passage door hardware, think again. Aside from the fact that opening a door and keeping it closed would be difficult without the usual entryway door hardware or passage door hardware such as deadbolts, back plates, knobs and handles, one would be hard pressed to keep a door standing up without hinges!

Made by top name brands such as Acorn and Martinelli, deadbolts ensure security for you and your belongings.

    A door push plate is a seldom thought of item that just makes a lot of sense. Tongue in groove knob and handle sets are unnecessary on swinging doors since these doors are usually installed in high traffic areas and a secure closing mechanism would be counter productive. The problem with these types of doors is that they get worn down quickly from constant use. Door push plates keep your wooden doors in tact. Push plates protect the wood from usual wear and tear of constant usage as well as from scratches and nicks from abrasive materials. A door push plate provides the perfect location for a hand to push the door out of the way, creating an easy passage.
