How to Choose the Right Door Pull
When choosing a door pull, you will want to consider the overall interior design of your establishment. What message do you want to send to the person before they even enter your building or a specific room? Will they be walking into a place that is classic, modern, or rustic? Your door hardware should reflect the style of the building.
The door pull is something that people touch the most within a building, so you will want to take into consideration the grip of the door pull as well. For example, if you are seeking to provide comfort, then hand-stitched leather or a wood pull may be more optimal than a cold metal handle.
Lastly, you should choose door pulls that complement your doors, and enhance the architecture of your building. If your doors are very plain, you may choose a door pull that adds more texture and visual appeal.
