Background:
I have a fairly modern balcony door, which - if they are from outside also tightens zubleibt. But just to pull it needs in order to remain on a door handle from the outside and a little force it. The Originalgrifff at the door (of course made of plastic), I had sometime in hand. He was torn - not out of the frame but the plastic. So at a hardware store nearby, where there if at all even again "like" plastic handles - even slightly higher priced than this one, bought and mounted.
This little game I repeated 4x over the last few years. Have 2 doors and on both the plastic stuff has eventually broken down times and you had to handle in his hand. I was very annoyed that it is only these are visually attractive, but in its strength in the long term are not too-using plastic type - In my view, therefore, "scrap".
Thereupon I looked around on the net for metal handles, just as I knew it from before. I came across this, they have ordered, assembled and am very happy with it.
Plus points:
+ Suitable screws with white painted head are strangely settled only on request (but then free).
+ Stable aluminum version (Part)
+ Grip size absolutely sufficient
+ With plastic lacquer-looking (or another color) painted
+ Beautiful handle height, I (sometimes which of course had had a different hole spacing) was my old drill holes completely overlap
+ Easy installation (dranschrauben and finished) any existing holes may be used.
Bad points:
- Screws are not automatically resolved. While you can take simple commercially available screws (or previously existing), but especially with a white head (for a better appearance) are not so easy to find.
- Screw (although countersunk) can unfortunately turn into not quite flush and are available from easy.
- You can see screws.
Conclusion:
As for the stability of the handle, this handle is superior to the general standard plastic versions hands down. In the future, no longer breaks the handle itself, but it tears him mitsammt screws from the plastic door frame out - but it you really need brute force - which I had not previously been applied.
Only the visual story (I would have liked a bit - where we can perhaps conceal the screws, so that you can not see) get me a point deduction and are not disappearing, the screws 100% in the bore and therefore justified. Theoretically you could injure it on the screws slightly. Practically I think that but vernachässigbar, since one opens the door on the handle and closes and does not wipe over the screw heads or rub.
