<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-style: normal; line-height: 120%; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">When we are thinking of buying or
selling a house we all want to feel that we have gotten the best deal we can.
When we are selling, we want to get as a high a price as we can for our
property and when we are buying, we want to get the property for as low a price
as we can. In order to do this we all need to work hard at whichever side of
the fence you are on and in the end it all comes down to the property and what
it looks like. One of the first things we will notice about a house which we go
to view is the overall look of the front of the house and one of the basics
things which will change the whole appearance of the hose is the front door. It
need to be attractive and in a good condition and a good thing to have is solid
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">brass front door hardware.</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; line-height: 120%;">An attractive front door makes a
statement and shows that the house is cared for and makes a good first
impression. <a href="http://www.karcherhandles.co.uk/"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Brass front door furniture</b></a>
come in various styles and after deciding that you wish to have <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">brass front door hardware</b> as opposed to
nickel or chrome, you will need to decide on the style of handle and lock,
whether thumb, lever, grip or latch. Brass is a good choice because of its
strength and durability as well as being resistant to corrosion and being easy
to work with. It comes in different finishes and you can decide to go for a
contemporary look or opt for an antique period finish such as Victorian or
Georgian scroll work. Brass is also widely used for carpets rods and drapery
hardware.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; line-height: 120%;">As well as having a nice handle
on the door, other <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">brass front door
furniture</b> can include a stylish letter box and house numbers or name plate
as well as hinges and decorative draught excluders. When these things are new
they have a lovely finish to them but you will find that as time goes by, the
polish will wear off and leave the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">brass
front door hardware</b> looking lifeless and dull. This is when you can either
use the polishing department of a company who deals with b<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">rass front door furniture</b> or you can try and do the job yourself.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; line-height: 120%;">There are many products on the market
which you can purchase to restore the polish to your <a href="http://architecturaldoorfurniture.blog.com/2012/02/10/brass-pull-handles-look-attractive-on-doors/"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">brass front door hardware</b></a> and it is advisable to look around and
buy a good one since the results will last for much longer and give you a
better finish. After all since you have spent the money in sprucing up your
front door you do not wish the shine to wear off before you even have the first
people come to view your house. A first impression is very important as
research shows that many people will decide within a few minutes if the house
is right.<a href="" name="_GoBack"></a></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">We recently decided to take on some home
improvement jobs around the house and in order to try and save some money we
thought that we would attempt a lot of the work ourselves as opposed to calling
in expensive professionals. We started off fine by searching for <b>UPVC door hardware</b> online and then
actually going around and looking at <b>UPVC
doors, hardware</b> stores and trying to find any sales being advertised. We
managed to get what we wanted but when it came to the actual renovations I had
had enough and decided that I would rather work extra hours at the office and
pay someone to do the home improvements instead.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">There is so much more involved than just
visiting the stores and making selections from showrooms. The fun part is
collecting the shade cards and looking at all the funny names give to various
shades of the same colour. Once the novelty has worn off it is time to do the
actual hard work and this is where I threw in the towel. Against the wishes of
my husband I called a couple of professional people and explained the things
that needed doing to make the house look better. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">It was such a relief not to have to worry
about which grain of wood, which <a href="http://www.karcherhandles.co.uk/category/9/Karcher-Accessories"><b>UPVC door hardware</b></a> and which window fasteners were the best. I left it all in
the capable hands of people to whom these decisions are second nature and who
actually enjoy dealing with carpenters, joiners and builders. I left for work
each morning with a light heart and did not feel guilty when I came home and
saw that my husband was stressed out because he kept on interfering with the
work and since he didn’t really know a lot about the trade, he was not being
taken seriously.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">The guilt did not kick in because as I saw
it, it was his own choice and I had tried to explain that he would be better
off following my example and going to work. Instead he wanted to be involved
and stay with the contractors as they made all the small decisions and
purchases. I made sure that I was involved in the important things like which
style of curtain fittings and where to place the new wardrobes which we have
had built.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">The choice of <a href="http://architecturaldoorfurniture.blog.com/2012/01/11/fitting-upvc-door-handles/"><b>UPVC doors hardware</b></a> and windows , I left to my husband as I felt
that he would probably make a better choice since I neither knew much about
these things and neither did I care. As for the things like carpets and
curtains, well this was certainly my domain and I even took a day off work so
that we could go around the various stores and shopping centres to try and see
what was available. The final selections were a joint decision but I admit that
the majority of input in this department was mine regarding styles, colours,
textures and other considerations, not forgetting the prices.<a href="" name="_GoBack"></a></span></div>

<b><a href="http://www.karcherhandles.co.uk/category/7/Karcher-Knobs">Chrome door knobs</a></b> are very popular choice not only for front doors but also for kitchen and bathroom doors due to their easy matching with existing furniture, appliances, and other hardware. Chrome has been in use for quoting <b>metal knobs and handles</b> throughout the world since the development of electroplating. Its popularity as a quoting material is attributed to its being resistant to corrosion. Besides, it is hard and creates polished and glossy looks when quoted on knobs and handles made of base metals like brass, zinc, and steel.<br />
<br />
A <b>chrome knob</b> also finds its place on a kitchen cabinet drawer. By virtue of its being durable as well as stylish, a chrome knob adds to the beauty and style in your kitchen. The knobs are available in a variety of designs and styles to allow you a greater choice for decorating your homes matching the existing themes. You can give a modern and contemporary look to your old kitchen by just replacing the existing cabinet knobs with stylish chrome knobs.<br />
<br />
Both <a href="http://www.karcherhandles.co.uk/category/7/Karcher-Knobs">chrome door knobs</a> and drawer knobs are available in scratch proof polished finish that looks highly glossy even in low lighting conditions enhancing your theme. They do not suffer from natural wear and tear easily and can last for many years once installed. They are available in variety of designs ranging from plain to extremely flamboyant. You can choose from a wide variety of designs and styles of chrome knobs to match your existing themes in your home.<br />
<br />
<b>Chrome knobs and handles</b> are designed to provide perfect handling according to the structure of hands providing comfort in opening and closing the doors and cabinets. The come in different shapes and sizes, for example, the most common circular shape, as well as stylish oval, square, or oblong shapes that look very attractive. They are also available in different colours such as golden and a few others besides usual sliver colour. The best thing about these knobs is that they fit easily in every space whether modern or classic. They don’t look out of place even amongst stainless steel, silver, and other modern furniture as they integrate in every theme making it more appealing.<br />
<br />
Although metallic, the <b>chrome hardware</b> is not very expensive. It may cost you more if you choose extremely ornate designs but simple plain designs that are comparatively cheaper also look elegant. The knobs made of solid brass quoted with chrome are matchless in strength and may last for years. So, if you compare their price in terms of their life, you will find them cheaper.<br />
<br />
Online shops are the great place to look for chrome door knobs of your choice as the brick and mortar stores offer only a limited designs and shapes. There are many suppliers and manufacturers websites accessible through Internet offering a wide range of designs and styles.<br />

<b>Chrome</b> is a hard metal with steel-gray, shiny, and glossy look. It is highly resistant to corrosion, and hence finds its application in <b><a href="http://www.karcherhandles.co.uk/">door furniture and hardware</a></b> that is exposed to excessive and frequent use. Since chrome is an expensive element, the chrome door hardware is often made of some other base metal such as brass, zinc, or steel, and then layered with chrome through electroplating. The process is known as <b>chrome plating</b>.<br />

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Door furniture makes even a plain looking door or cabinet
stunning, and it brings smile on the faces and joy in the hearts of onlookers.
And if the door furniture is <b>brushed steel door furniture</b> then the thrill and
excitement of having it gets enhanced provided you get the best one.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But the question remains how to choose the best brushed door
furniture for your home? What all to look for in a door furniture to ascertain
that you get the absolute best one available in the market, in the budget you
have. Read this guide through, it will help you with your purchase.</div>
<h2>
Brushed steel door furniture buying guide</h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When buying brushed steel door furniture for your home you
should look at the following items.</div>
<h3>
Purpose and nature of the door furniture</h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Before buying brushed steel door furniture for your home you
need to ask what will be the purpose of the door furniture? Are you going to
buy an elegant-looking handles which will be used multiple times of a day, or
are you going to buy stoppers, or is it the brushed stainless steel knockers
that you would like to buy for your home?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Your understanding of what you need and in what quantity
will help you decide on what you will buy once in the market.</div>
<h3>
Quality and durability</h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When buying brushed steel door furniture you must ensure the
quality of the door furniture. You should decide if you want a stainless steel
brushed door furniture, or a normal steel door furniture will do the trick?
What would be the average live expectancy of the door furniture? For example if
you are in the market to shop for handles then make sure you get the one which should
work for many, many years because door handles will be used multiple times in a
day.</div>
<h3>
Beauty and finish of door furniture</h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
How good does a door handle looks in isolation and how will
it look on your door are two different things. The door furniture that looks
beautiful in the shop may not look even half as good as that when installed in
your home, simply because the backdrop against which it I displayed in the showroom
is different from the situation in which it will be used in your home.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When buying brushed steel door furniture for your home you
should pay attention to the aesthetic coherence between the door furniture and
doors and cabinets in your home.</div>
<h3>
Security</h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If you are buying a door handle with a lock for your home
then you must ask if the door handle is safe enough to keep the bad guys out of
your house? The same consideration should be given when you are buying one for
your cabinet.</div>
<h3>
Cost</h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
No matter how attractive a piece of <a href="http://architecturaldoorfurniture.blog.com/2011/11/21/brushed-stainless-steel-door-furniture-scratches-removal-tips/">brushed steel doorfurniture</a> is and how safe it is, you cannot buy it unless it suits your budget,

A <a href="http://karcherhandles.co.uk/category/3/Karcher-Handles"><b>brass door handle</b></a> looks beautiful when it is new and shiny. It adds up to the beauty of the home, but when brass door handles start gathering dirt and stain, the attractiveness of the handle is lost and what remains is something we do not wish to fix our eyes on. This defeat the purpose of having elegant brass handles in your home.<br />
<br />
If the <b>brass handles</b> in your home have started looking dirty and stained, there is a piece of good news for you, the past glory of brass door handles can be restored and they can be made to shine like new <b>brass handles</b>. There is no need to replace your existing door handle, unless you want to upgrade the style.<br />
<h3>
</h3>
<h3>
Making your old brass door handles shine like new</h3>
<br />
Before beginning the cleaning up process, you should determine the nature of stain on the brass fittings, and choose the cleaning process suitable for the purpose. If you have to remove tarnish from the <a href="http://karcherhandles.co.uk/category/3/Karcher-Handles">brass door handles</a> to make it attractive, you would need the following materials:<br />
<ol>
<li>2 pieces of cloth</li>
<li>White vinegar</li>
<li>Lemon Juice</li>
<li>Salt</li>
</ol>
<br />
Take a piece of cloth and soak it in white vinegar or lemon juice. Add some salt to it as well. Use this cloth to wipe the door handle which needs cleaning. After that you should rinse the cloth in plain water to remove traces of white vinegar/ lemon juice from the cloth. Wring it and use this cloth to remove traces of white vinegar/ lemon juice from the <b>door handle</b>.<br />
<br />
Take another piece of soft cloth (dry one) and clean the brass handle. Use this cloth to burnish the <a href="http://karcherhandles.co.uk/category/3/Karcher-Handles">brass door handle</a> until it shines.<br />
<br />
If there is no tarnish and you just need to do regular cleaning, or remove the dirt or stubborn stain from the brass door handles, you can use the following:<br />
<ol>
<li>Warm water</li>
<li>Dish soap</li>
<li>Two pieces of cloths</li>
<li>A brush</li>
</ol>
<br />
To clean stubborn stain or deposited dust off the brass door handles, you need a bucket of warm water. Mix a small amount of dish soap in the warm water and dip a cloth in it. Wring the cloth out and wipe the brass handle with the soapy cloth.<br />
<br />
Now take a brush, dip it into the soapy water and scrub the door handle to remove stubborn dirt and stains. Now wipe the handle with soapy cloth. Then use fresh water to rinse the cloth. Wring the cloth and wipe out any soap remaining on the brass door handle. Afterward, use a dry soft cloth to dry the handle.<br />
<br />
These are the two effective ways to clean the <a href="http://karcherhandles.co.uk/category/3/Karcher-Handles"><b>brass door handles</b></a>. As said, before using any of the ways, you must find out the nature of dirt deposit or stain because excessive cleaning may discolor your fixture, particularly when it is “brass quoted”. Cleaning of <b>brass door handles</b> will restore the lost glory of your door fixtures, and it may save you some money. So before you go for a new set, you should consider cleaning the existing one, unless you want to change the design.</div>Karcher Handleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11623464155199264532noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2232716731208595119.post-53059923802996149642011-10-24T21:38:00.000-07:002011-10-24T21:38:42.682-07:00Types of Vintage Brass Knobs You Should Consider<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<b>Vintage brass knobs</b> are and will always remain in high demand. The beauty and craftsmanship of <a href="http://karcherhandles.co.uk/category/7/Karcher-Knobs">vintage brass door knobs</a> do not fail to entice home owners, who strive to get the best for their homes. The class and elegance of vintage door knobs cannot be matched by any of the available <b>brass knobs</b>. Ask any person of refined taste, and he will vouch for it.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Types of vintage brass knobs</h3>
<br />
There are many types of <b>vintage brass door knobs</b> available in the market, many of which are real classic and can be used in any home of any type, but some of them are not that open for association, so doesn’t look good on all kinds of doors and houses.<br />
<br />
When deciding on buying a brass knob you need to focus on the finishes of the knob as well. You need to decide if you need Antique Brass, Oil-rubbed Bronze, Polished Brass, Polished Chrome, or Satin Nickel, etc., finish on the <b>brass knob</b>. I would suggest you to keep this in mind before going out for purchasing door knobs.<br />
<br />
When purchasing brass door knobs, you should always go for the one which is made of solid brass and not just brass-quoted because door knobs of latter type does not last long, and the quoting may fade after some use, or at times after cleaning.<br />
<h3>
</h3>
<h3>
All-brass knobs</h3>
<br />
There are some <a href="http://karcherhandles.co.uk/category/7/Karcher-Knobs"><b>brass knobs</b></a> that are made of 100% brass, without any other element used in it. This gives a real vintage feel. Pure brass knobs come with some beautiful engravings. They give a royal feel to the door.<br />
<h3>
</h3>
<h3>
Brass knobs with crystal top</h3>
<br />
Another type of common brass knob that is quite famous is the one that comes with a colorful or white crystal top (the portion which we turn to open or close the door). When a ray of light falls on the crystal part, the ray of light shimmers making the crystal shine like diamond. Crystal-top brass knob is a jewel, which beautify the door.<br />
<br />
It looks even more elegant when the brass portion, which makes the bottom of such door knobs are beautifully carved. I have seen one that had a brass-base (knob backplate) resembling wheel of a chariot.<br />
<h3>
</h3>
<h3>
Wooden-top brass knobs</h3>
<br />
All <b>brass door knobs</b> do not come with glass or brass top alone. People use all kind of different materials, but the one that I personally liked the most had a wooden top. There are all kinds of wooden tops that people are using in brass knobs, but my favorite is a black-colored knob with light engraving, or one with wood finished, light though.<br />
<br />
When buying <a href="http://karcherhandles.co.uk/category/7/Karcher-Knobs">vintage brass knobs</a> you should also focus your attention on the era from which it comes, if you wish to buy original vintage brass knobs. There are many counterfeit in the market, you should be watchful of them. There are many more types of <a href="http://karcherhandles.co.uk/category/7/Karcher-Knobs"><b>vintage brass door knobs</b></a> available, and it could be purchased from the Internet, from the comfort of your home, without being greasy because of going out in sun fretting around in the market.</div>Karcher Handleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11623464155199264532noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2232716731208595119.post-54738293476440868472011-09-22T23:56:00.000-07:002011-09-22T23:56:23.353-07:00Bathroom Door Furniture – 4 Commonly Used Bathroom Door Locks<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
The role of <b>bathroom door furniture</b> like a lock is more to provide privacy to the users than is to provide security from thieves, burglars, etc. For this reason, a lock designed for and used in a bathroom door is a lot different from the ones that are used in the other doors in the house.<br />
<br />
In general, a <a href="http://www.karcherhandles.co.uk/category/12/Locks-and-Latches"><b>bathroom door lock</b></a> does not use complex mechanism like using multiple cylinders and livers, but this explanation does not say much about this bathroom door furniture. To help you out, I am going to talk about 4 different lock types that are commonly used.<br />
<h3>
4 bathroom door lock types</h3>
<h3>
Privacy function lock</h3>
This is the most common type of lock you will find in bathrooms. This lock is very simple. It consists of a doorknob or a lever, which has an in-built privacy function, which gets activated by push of a button or turn of a switch from inside of the bathroom. The bathroom with such locks remains open when it is unoccupied and as soon as some enters the bathroom and turns the knob or presses the button the bathroom door gets locked.<br />
<br />
A high-quality privacy function lock also comes with an emergency button. This could be used to open the lock from the outside, if someone gets trapped inside of the bathroom.<br />
<h3>
Deadbolt lock</h3>
<a href="http://www.karcherhandles.co.uk/view-product/Legge-5-Lever-Brass-Deadlock">Deadbolt locks</a> are normal locks used in commercial establishment. These locks are not locks but handles because these locks can be opened from both sides. A separate latch is used in a bathroom with such a lock so that the bathroom door could be closed from the inside.<br />
<h3>
Thumbturn locks</h3>
A <b>thumbturn lock</b> or a turnpiece lock, which it is also referred to, is a kind of lock which is operated by rotating the switch, which is on the inside of the bathroom door. It is used with a knob or a lever. This lock has an emergency release key on the outside. This lock is very easy to operate and if a kid, accidently, get locked inside a bathroom then taking him out using the emergency release will be easy if this lock is installed in the bathroom door.<br />
<h3>
Coin lock</h3>
In public settings where many people could use a rest room, a coin lock is used to control the free use of rest room. This is often installed in a commercial setting. If a bathroom has such a lock, a person will have to drop a coin or a specially designed token in the lock in order to use the bathroom. The door of the bathroom will remain automatically closed for the duration of your use. It will accept no more coin until you open the door from the inside and exit the bathroom.<br />
<h3>
Conclusion</h3>
There are many more types of <a href="http://www.karcherhandles.co.uk/category/12/Locks-and-Latches"><b>bathroom door locks</b></a> that are used by people in different locations, depending upon the usages, but the locks discussed above are the most used pieces of <a href="http://www.karcherhandles.co.uk/category/12/Locks-and-Latches">bathroom door furniture</a>. When installing bathroom door lock you should not go for style only, you must take into consideration the usage scenario and people who will use it.</div>

The functional utility of a <a href="http://www.karcherhandles.co.uk/category/3/Karcher-Handles"><b>bathroom door handle</b></a> is only to help a person open or close the bathroom door, and if a person has installed a bathroom door handle with lock then it will also help him or her protect his or her privacy in the bathroom. But this is not all to a <a href="http://www.karcherhandles.co.uk/category/3/Karcher-Handles"><b>bathroom door handle</b></a>.<br />
<br />
You may or may not have noticed, but it does play a pivotal role in the overall decoration of your house. If a matching handle makes everything look good, a handle that does not go well with the overall interior will be like a dust spec piercing in the eye, which for all intent and purposes is not a desirable situation. It is, therefore, important for you to find a good door handle for your bathroom.<br />
<h3>
Tips for buying Bathroom door handles</h3>
<h3>
Fix a budget and stick to it</h3>
When it comes to decorating a house, a person tends to go overboard with enthusiasm, and he starts spending without considering the budget. This leaves him in trouble. One should keep in mind that there is no limit to spending on home. It can take as much as you can give, so instead of going randomly shopping with unclear budger, you should fix a budget for everything including the bathroom door handle, and never ever cross the budget.<br />
<h3>
Match it with other interior items</h3>
Every item does not go well with every other item, so before buying a bathroom door handle, you should look at the styling of your home and of the bathroom. Once you get an understanding of things that you have used to decorate your home, you should decide on the kind of <a href="http://www.karcherhandles.co.uk/category/3/Karcher-Handles">bathroom door handle</a> you should buy for your bathroom.<br />
<br />
When buying a handle you should keep in mind that the role of a <b>bathroom door handle</b> is to just open and close the bathroom door, and if you are buying a bathroom door handle with lock then the role changes to include ensuring privacy, and not that of security, which a lock symbolizes, so you should not invest a lot of money on that.<br />
<h3>
Consider buying a bathroom door handle with lock</h3>
By buying a bathroom door handle with lock, you will be able to save some money. It will allow you to invest in just one item, and not in two separate items. You can use the savings to make your house even more attractive.<br />
<br />
There are many types of bathroom locks available in the market. You should do a bit of research and find one that suits your budget and fulfill your need. You can either have a deadbolt <a href="http://www.karcherhandles.co.uk/category/3/Karcher-Handles"><b>bathroom door lock</b></a>, thumbturn lock, or privacy function lock for your <b>bathroom door</b>. These lock types are among the best in the class and works particularly well for bathroom, as each one of them is designed to provide privacy, and less to provide security.<br />
<h3>
Conclusion</h3>
Buying a bathroom door handle is an important decision. It affects the overall look of your home. You should therefore keep the above tips in mind when buying bathroom door handles or a <a href="http://www.karcherhandles.co.uk/category/3/Karcher-Handles">bathroom door handle</a> with lock.</div>

Things like design, look and feel, ease of operation, sturdiness, etc. should be considered. You should also be concerned about the ease of installation, if you are a DIY (Do It Yourself) type because an architectural door furniture part which cannot be installed by a “non expert” is not suitable for DIY installation.<br />
<br />
The above guideline or logic, if you may, applies to door handles replacement as well. In fact, replacing <b>door handle</b> is the most basic architectural door hardware replacement, which is done quite often. In this article, therefore, I will talk about how one can replace a door handle.<br />
<br />
<h3>Replace door handle in 4 easy steps</h3><br />
<h3>Step 1: Gather all your tools and door handle parts</h3><br />
The first step towards replacing a broken <b><a href="http://www.karcherhandles.co.uk/">door handle</a></b> is to collect all the tools that you will need. You may need tools like a flat tip screw driver, a slotted tip screw driver, a hammer, a pair of long nose pliers, a pair of side cutting pliers, polypropylene handled chisel, screws, metal gasket (if needed), and door handle parts.<br />
<br />
<h3>Step 2: study your broken handle</h3><br />
The goal of this step is to understand how you are going to remove the handle. You would not want to damage the texture or paint of the door, handle of which has to be removed. Some handles come with a top cover which conceals the screws. If that is the case then you should use your flat tip screw driver or polypropylene handled chisel to remove the cover from the side.<br />
<br />
<h3>Step 3: Remove the broken door handle</h3><br />
The next step is to remove the broken handle from the door. Do it carefully, and do not lose patience. The process of removing the broken handle should be done carefully, or else, you may end-up scratching the door, or breaking the slot in which the handle was installed. You may need to use the pliers and a hammer for that.<br />
<br />
