Selecting the right window or door handle affects not only convenience but also the security, durability, and appearance of the entire system. A well-chosen handle ensures reliable operation and complements the overall design of the building.

Why the Right Handle Matters

A high-quality handle improves the daily operation of windows and doors, enhances security, and extends the service life of the entire unit. This is particularly important in Sydney, where varying weather conditions, humidity, and coastal air can impact building materials.

Key advantages of choosing the right handle include:

Hardware
  • Increased security through reinforced locking mechanisms and concealed fixings
  • Resistance to corrosion, ensuring longevity even in coastal environments
  • Compatibility with various opening systems, including tilt and turn, lift and slide, and balcony doors
  • Ease of operation, even for larger and heavier sash windows or sliding doors
  • Aesthetic consistency, with a range of colour options to suit the frame and interior design

How to Choose the Right Handle

When selecting a handle, it is essential to consider a few practical aspects:

Type of opening system

Tilt and turn windows require handles with precise locking positions. Lift and slide doors benefit from extended, reinforced handles for smoother operation.

Environmental conditions

In coastal or high-humidity areas, it is advisable to choose handles made from anodised aluminium or stainless steel for better resistance to corrosion.

Security requirements

For added protection, particularly on ground-floor windows or balcony doors, lockable handles with keys offer a simple and effective solution.

Design and colour matching

Handles should complement the frame colour and the style of the property. Popular finishes include white, silver, black, and bronze.

Self-locking

Comfort and ergonomics

Handles must provide a comfortable grip and allow effortless operation, especially on larger doors and windows.
