Question: What factors should be considered when choosing between fixed and adjustable handles?
Answer: 1. Type of door, which can be divided into 2 types:
1.1. passage doors that have only a handle and no locking is required, such as public toilet doors.
1.2. a privacy door that can be locked by a button on the inside and unlocked using a key, such as a house door, bedroom door.
2. locking system of the door - the fixed handle, in general, is no locking like adjustable handles. If the user requires the room to be locked, he has to install the locking system separately.
3. Door thickness is one thing to note. In general, door thickness is between 32 – 50 mm. but some doors, such as those in production lines, might have thickeners to maintain the temperature. So, this should be considered before buying.
4. Environments such as exterior doors should use strong, good color coating handles. Or the door in the humidity production line should use a handle made from stainless steel.
Question: How do handles contribute to the overall safety and ergonomics of a product?
Answer: The ergonomics of the handle contribute to safety in the working area. It’s up to the user to consider what handle suits their purpose. For example, swing doors usually use a lever handle for walking people to notice if someone’s opening the door to prevent an accident, It’s also convenient such as Embedded Handle which is small size, doesn’t obstruct the working area, makes it nice and tidy.
Question: What is the impact of handle shape and texture on grip strength and comfort?
Answer: The handle shape had an impact on the use of strength, such as the heavy door, which should use a large size rather than an embedded handle because it is easier to push/pull. On the other hand, texture on the grip has an impact on the sense of grip strength. The soft grip helps reduce the pressure on your hand. Makes it comfort when lifting a heavy object. While the hard grip makes it easy to control the force that will be used.
Question: What types of materials are commonly used to manufacture handles?
Answer: There are various types of materials used to manufacture handles, like steel, stainless steel, galvanized iron, and plastic. To choose the type of handle that is suited to the purpose and working area, such as the plastic handle of the office, but shouldn’t be used outdoors, Use stainless steel handles for production lines because they are resistant to chemicals and corrosion.
