When you think about upgrading your home, replacing door hardware may not be the first thing that comes to mind. But this simple improvement can have a surprising impact on your home's security, functionality, and overall style. From loose knobs to outdated handles and squeaky hinges, these small components affect your day-to-day life more than you might realize.
In this blog, we’ll explain why door hardware replacement is one of the easiest and most worthwhile updates you can make—and why working with professionals ensures it’s done right.
Old or faulty locks and handles can be weak points in your home’s defense. Upgrading to modern hardware with secure locking mechanisms helps you better protect your space and loved ones.
Benefits:
Struggling with a doorknob that sticks or a latch that doesn’t catch? Replacing hardware eliminates those minor—but frustrating—daily issues.
Benefits:
Just like lighting fixtures or cabinet handles, door hardware contributes to your home’s aesthetic. Swapping outdated pieces for sleek, modern options instantly refreshes the space.
Benefits:
Door knobs can be difficult for those with arthritis, limited mobility, or disabilities. Replacing hardware with levers or easy-to-use handles enhances comfort and accessibility.
Benefits:
Some door hardware upgrades include weather-stripping components or help improve door seals, which can reduce drafts and improve energy efficiency.
Benefits:
Upgraded door hardware signals to buyers or renters that your home is well-maintained. It's a low-cost improvement with a high return in both aesthetics and functionality.
Benefits:
While some hardware may seem simple to replace, complications like drilling for new hardware, aligning strike plates, or choosing the right components can make the task more complex. That’s why working with experienced professionals like Finishing Touches ensures a perfect fit and finish.
