Frequently asked questions about the Door, window accessories category
Door, window accessories — what are they and why use them?
Door, window accessories are components for fitting, operating and securing doors and windows: handles, locks (mortise, surface, cylinder), hinges, door closers, seals and fixings. They improve functionality, security and weatherproofing for repairs, replacements or new installations.
What accessories suit a residential entrance door?
For entrance doors choose a high-security cylinder or mortise lock, steel hinges, reinforced strike plates and a door closer. Ensure the lock, cylinder and escutcheons are compatible and add protective plates to reinforce vulnerable areas.
Which window accessories reduce draughts and heat loss?
Choose quality seals (silicone or EPDM), adjustable hinges and locking mechanisms that provide firm sash compression. Replacing seals and adjusting hardware often improves weatherproofing without replacing frames.
How to choose a lock cylinder and what does 35x35 mean?
35x35 denotes the cylinder lengths on each side from the lock centre to the key/pivot side. Measure from the lock faceplate to the cylinder centre on both sides of the door and pick a cylinder with matching asymmetric or symmetric dimensions.
What's the difference between mortise and surface locks and when to choose each?
Mortise locks fit into the door body, offering higher security and a neater finish, ideal for entrance and internal doors. Surface locks mount onto the door face, are easier to fit and suit utility doors or situations where cutting into the door isn’t possible.
Which hinges suit a metal door and what specs matter?
Choose steel or stainless steel hinges rated for the door weight; 3D-adjustable hinges aid precise alignment. Key specs are hinge length/width, pin diameter and bearing type for smooth operation.
Which handles and escutcheons suit internal doors?
Internal doors work well with round or oval handles in brass, stainless steel or aluminium sized to the lock centre-to-centre measurement. Pick escutcheons that match the keyway or the existing lock backplate for compatibility.
Which window seal is better: silicone or EPDM rubber?
Silicone keeps elasticity across wide temperatures and resists UV; EPDM is cost‑effective and durable against ozone and weathering. For exposed exterior applications choose high‑quality EPDM or UV‑stable silicone depending on conditions.
What additional accessories are needed to fit a lock (set)?
You typically need a strike plate, escutcheons/key plates, a cylinder, mounting screws and possibly reinforcement plates. Check dimensional compatibility (mortise cutout, cylinder length and backset) when selecting a set.
