Prioritize Bolt-Through Systems: Ideal for commercial or high-use residential settings.
Material Compatibility: Match bolt/screw materials to door composition (e.g., stainless steel for exterior doors).
Regular Maintenance: Inspect handles biannually for loosening and re-torque bolts to 4–6 Nm.
Prioritize ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 or higher certifications for commercial-grade durability.
For wooden doors, pre-drill pilot holes to prevent splitting during installation.
Regularly lubricate locks with graphite powder to maintain smooth operation.
For mixed-brand installations, use universal spindle adapters (ISO 1303-1 compliant) to ensure cross-manufacturer compatibility without compromising warranty terms.
For historic doors, opt for handles with adjustable backset and universal spindle designs to minimize structural modifications.
