The right handle for your steel door

The handle may seem like a small detail, but it is an essential part of your steel door. It determines ease of use and adds character to the appearance of your door. At De Rooy Steel Doors, we understand how important this choice is. That’s why we are happy to help you find the perfect handle—one that seamlessly matches your door and personal style.

The right handle for each door type

The perfect handle starts with the type of steel door you have or want. Each door has its own possibilities. For example, a pivot door requires a different handle than a hinged or sliding door. Even within each model, there are nuances. Below, we’ll walk you through a few options to help you make the perfect choice.

Handles for steel pivot doors

Pivot doors offer unparalleled freedom in handle choices. From sleek and minimalist to bold and robust—everything is possible. Do you prefer a subtle, understated look? Then a hidden handle or edge pull are ideal choices. These elegant solutions blend seamlessly into the design and enhance the lines of your door. A stunning example is our Cuypers model, where the edge pull accentuates the minimalist design.

For the playful Random model, a hidden handle is also an excellent choice, as it highlights the door’s dynamic character. Prefer a bold statement? Opt for a pull handle. This element not only adds a striking touch but is also practical. You can open the door without fully gripping it, minimising fingerprints on the glass.

Handles for steel hinged doors

For hinged doors, the traditional door handle is a popular choice—functional, familiar, and practical. But why not add that little extra touch? With a stylish design handle, you can make a subtle statement. In this case, we use a magnetic latch, ensuring a sleek finish and a modern touch.

Handles for steel sliding doors

With sliding doors, functionality is key. The first question is: does your door slide along the wall or disappear into it? In the latter case, a protruding handle is not practical. That’s why we recommend the DRM-G6 handle—a perfect balance between ease of use and sleek design. If the door slides along the wall, this is less of a concern.

Sliding doors operate differently from hinged or pivot doors: instead of pushing or pulling, you slide them open and closed. This makes some handles, such as the hidden handle or edge pull, less suitable. A flush, easy-to-use solution is often the best choice for smooth and stylish operation.
