Online tool lets you 'try on' stylish door hardware

(NC)—The fine-tuning of fixtures and features tends to make a house stand out in a crowd. Better still a few targeted upgrades also have the ability to add thousands of dollars to the resale value.

So what features deliver the biggest bang for the buck? If you start, experts say, with upgrading the hardware on all entry doors, you will get two necessities for the price of one: home security and good looks. Once the exterior doors are perfected, you can turn your attention to décor appeal and consistency on the inside.

The choices are dazzling, but numerous, so do let digital technology save you some time. To readily find the style, colour, finish, plus the security features you like best, take a look at the Design Centre tab on the Schlage website (consumer.schlage.com), a leading brand in this field.

Since homeowner needs are never exactly alike, the Design Centre menus help the viewer to pinpoint their own objectives. For example, you may place more importance on function and security, rather than looks. Others may want both equally, but can't decide the right colour and finish. Many homeowners want to know how to choose between knobs and levers and handlesets – and others only want to know about the latest innovation, like an actual alarm built into the lock.

Use the Style Selector tool to show you all the choices – and even better, how each one will look in different rooms and on a variety of door styles.

For example, do you want levers on bathroom doors, or knobs? Will that choice look different on doors with a glass inset, or with recessed panels? What colour and finish would be best in the main hallway? A few clicks on the Style Selector will let you try on all the choices until you decide.
