Everything You Need to Know About Window and Door Hardware

In home design, it’s often the smallest details that make the biggest difference. Window and door hardware are two of those diminutive touches that can have a big effect in your home. Simonton offers a range of hardware options that are designed for long-lasting performance and impact.

Window and Door Hardware For Every Home

Window and door hardware are the pieces and parts used to open or lock windows and doors. High-quality hardware options should be easy to operate and provide added security to your home. When choosing hardware, keep four major things in mind: the lock, the opening and closing handle, tilt latch, and hardware finish.

Simonton Hardware Options

Common window hardware options include:

• Cam locks, the hardware pieces that pull the window sash together to keep it locked and secured. They are used on both single and double hung windows.
• Lift rails or handles, simple mechanisms used to open and close your windows. They make it easier to ensure the window is shut tight and the cam lock works properly.
• Crank handles that are used specifically on casement and awning windows to more easily crank open the window.

Hardware options for doors include:

• Handle sets, generally used for entry doors.
• Dead bolts used to securely lock a front, back, side, or patio door. Patio door hardware tightly secures the door for safety and weatherability.
• Keyed and keyless entry sets that are available as handle sets and dead bolts.

Interior door hardware choices include passage, privacy, and dummy options.

Simonton’s window and door hardware comes in a variety of finishes that match or complement any style home. Window finishes include dark bronze, driftwood, nickel, oil-rubbed bronze, polished brass, white, and tan. Door options also include a brushed nickel.
