External

When thinking about the exterior of your property, there is more thought on the notion of security, especially when it comes to doors. Therefore, external door handles and hinges need to be stronger than those used for internal doors. Handles for external uses will also need to be weatherproof so that they will not rust and will be resistant to corrosion, especially during the hottest and coldest months of the year.

At Howarth, we currently stock a variety of external ironmongery products, all of which are available in various styles, sizes, and finishes. All external door handles will have a lock that will usually be operable from both sides. The most common external door handle is a Lever Lock. This type of lock is excellent for extra security measures, as it is made up of several layers that prevent the bolt from moving within the lock.

We also offer a wide range of door hinges, including fire door hinges, gate hinges, t-hinges, and cabinet hinges. All our hinges are available in a variety of metals such as chrome, brass, steel, and stainless steel.

Door chains are a simple and effective method of offering extra security when you open the door to visitors. This is because it allows you to open the door just fair enough to see who the visitor is and interact with them, with the added security of knowing that should you feel threatened, they will not be able to get past the chain.

Angled screws give the door further restraint if anyone attempts to force the door, and bolts are an excellent method of adding extra security to your home.
