The phrase "form follows function" is never truer than when referring to architectural door hardware. Custom door handles must first function by providing a method in which to enter and exit a building, access interior spaces and open and close cabinetry. Once the functional aspect of door handles has been addressed attention can be directed to form. A first impression is often established at the entry to a residence or building. The shape, size, finish and overall design of door handles, door knobs and levers and cabinetry hardware should add character and personality to a space and create a positive first impression.
