Key Considerations When Selecting Door Levers
- Door Function: Clearly identify the primary function needed for each door (entry, privacy, passage, or dummy) to select the correct lever type.
- Door Handing: While many levers are reversible, some are "handed" (left or right). Confirm your door's handing to ensure proper installation and operation, especially for entry or privacy levers.
- Backset Measurement: Measure the backset (distance from the door's edge to the center of the bore hole) to ensure compatibility. Standard backsets are typically 2-3/8 inches or 2-3/4 inches.
- Style & Finish Cohesion: Choose lever styles and finishes that complement your home's overall aesthetic and other existing hardware (hinges, cabinet pulls, lighting fixtures) for a unified design.
- Material & Durability: For high-traffic areas or exterior applications, opt for levers made from robust materials like solid brass or stainless steel, with durable finishes that resist wear, tarnish, and environmental factors.
- Accessibility Needs: If accessibility is a priority, levers are generally preferred over knobs. Ensure the lever design you choose provides sufficient grip and clearance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Door Levers
Q: What are the main advantages of choosing door levers over door knobs?
A: The main advantages of door levers are their superior ergonomics and accessibility, making them easier to operate for everyone. They also often offer a more modern aesthetic that complements contemporary designs, and their larger surface area can make them a prominent design feature.
Q: Do door levers come in different functions like door knobs?
A: Yes, door levers come in the same primary functions as door knobs: keyed entry (for exterior doors), privacy (for bedrooms/bathrooms), passage (for hallways/closets), and dummy (for non-latching decorative use). You can find a lever for every door in your home.
Q: How do I determine if a door lever is "handed" or reversible?
A: Most modern door levers are designed to be reversible, meaning they can be installed on either a left-hand or right-hand door. However, some traditional or specialty levers may be "handed." Check the product specifications or instructions; if it's handed, it will explicitly state "left hand" or "right hand."
Q: Are door levers suitable for outdoor use?
A: Yes, many entry door levers are designed for outdoor use. For exterior applications, choose levers made from durable, weather-resistant materials like solid brass or stainless steel, and select finishes (e.g., PVD, certain powder coats) known for their resilience against the elements to ensure longevity.
Q: What's the best way to clean and maintain door levers?
A: To clean and maintain your door levers, use a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or polishing compounds unless specifically recommended for your lever's finish, as these can damage the protective coating and affect its appearance over time. Regular, gentle cleaning is usually sufficient.
