A brief discourse on the subject of fittings
How open or closed do you wish to be? The selection of locks also plays a role in making you feel at home with your new doors. Are there doors such as apartment entrance doors or a door to the boiler room where the use of a safety lock would make sense or is even mandatory? Should a special bathroom door lock be fitted on the bathroom door?
Hinges for wooden frames
It’s worth taking a look at the hinges, too. There are different models available depending on the type of door frame and the stress exerted on it.
