Kitchen Door Hardware

Kitchen Door Hardware

A question about a door.?


My husband and I just bought an old Colonial that has a door between the kitchen and dining room. The door has no handles, and no visible hardware on the outside, except for a small portion at the bottom. It does have push plates on it. What is this type of door called? We'd like to replace it as it's been pretty beat up by the previous owner, but no matter what word combination that makes sense to me to call it, I can't find this type of door!

It swings, but is not on hinges, and it swings both ways. It's hardware is at the top of the door, where it seems to be on a bolt into the frame of the door, and at the bottom, which is covered by a plate. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

I hope some of this made sense! :)

This is an old fashioned swing door. I would find a cabinet maker in your area to come take a look at it. My bet is that you can find a wooden door that is similar to the one you have and use the old hardware to hand the new door with. In addition to jazz it up, you can buy new hardware here to make it look just like new.

Todays Door Hardware

When it comes to redecorating a particular room in the house, often times many homeowners are too busy focusing on the big design elements of the home design such as the flooring, wall colors and furniture, and forget about the smaller design elements. While design elements such as kitchen cabinets, countertops, flooring and wall colors are very important to the overall design of a room, there are smaller design aspects that also have a big impact in the redesign. When it comes to redecorating a particular room in a house, it is important that homeowners not forget about the smaller design elements that complete the entire design of the room.
In a home remodel the small design elements in a room can vary anywhere from cabinet hardware in the kitchen to lighting fixtures in the bathroom. One small design element that is present all throughout the house is the door hardware that is used in each room. Many homeowners may not see hardware for the door as a design element and over look it when it comes to remodeling, it is still an important aspect to the overall look and style of a room. Not only is it an important design element in a room, but it is also a design element that has a significant presence throughout the entire house.
Think of the decorative hardware as a pretty lamp on the end table, or a floral centerpiece in the middle of the coffee table. They add an interesting element to an otherwise standard piece in the home. Just like adding knickknacks to a bookshelf, you're adding visually pleasing design to your entryways. By replacing your current standard door hardware with decorative hardware, you'll be giving your space an instant home makeover without the hassle or cost of a home remodeling project. The installation of the new decorative hardware is a great do it yourself project, and can be accomplished in one day with minimal set up and clean up.
French doors in the kitchen, the front door, the door leading to the bathroom and bedroom doors can also use an updated look when performing a home remodel. Depending on the style of the door, different hardware can be chosen to accentuate the room. For instance, levers are ideal for doors such as French doors that lead out to a patio or deck. If you are looking to update the front door than door handles with a deadbolt and lock are the best option. Hardware for the door can come with as little or as much detail as you prefer.
When it comes to buying hardware for the door, the hardware can come in sets that include the knob, lock and hinges, or you can buy each piece separately. The advantage to buying the hardware as a set is the fact that all the pieces are assured to match one another. while you can mix and match pieces of the hardware together, it is important that each piece matches one another and creates a cohesive look.
So whether you are considering a entire home remodeling project or just looking for a quick and easy do it yourself project to add some added detail and excitement into your home, decorative hardware for your doors is definitely an option to consider. Remember to think of your doors as a blank canvas for decorative door handles and other door hardware that act as the perfect home accent.
