Levers

Combine comfort, function, and timeless style with levers, one of the most practical and attractive hardware options for both homes and businesses alike. Here at Woodwork Manufacturing & Supply, we have durable, high-quality door hardware from trusted brands that balance beauty and reliability.

What are Levers?

Unlike the more traditional round doorknobs, levers are door handles that operate with a simple downward or upward motion. This makes them easier to grip and open, not just by children or seniors, but especially for people who have limited mobility in their hands. Thus, they meet the ADA accessibility standards since they operate with a push or pull instead of a turn and offer superior comfort for everyday use.

They are available in a variety of finishes: matte black, brushed nickel, oil-rubbed bronze, and polished chrome. The style is sure to complement any style, from ultra-modern to classic. They are available for passage, privacy, and keyed entry functions, so they are suitable for every door in one's home or workplace.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are levers better than knobs?

Yes, they are easier to operate, and thus accessible to anyone. They will also bring a sleek, modern look to your home and prevent the strain on the wrist or hand.

Do they come in locking versions?

Absolutely, you can choose privacy levers for bedrooms and bathrooms, passage styles for interior doors, or keyed-entry options for exterior doors that require extra protection.

Can they be installed on any door?

Most levers are designed to be universally installed and will fit both left- and right-handed doors. They are relatively simple to install using basic tools, so they are a great DIY-friendly upgrade.

How do I care for them?

Keep them clean using a soft cloth and mild cleaner. Avoid using harsh chemicals that might damage the finish. A small amount of lubricant in the latch mechanism once a year will keep it working smoothly.
