Sliding door pull handles

Find the best door pulls online

Just as a passageway door or a standard household door uses handles to open and close; a sliding door uses door pulls, handles, or recessed pulls to push it. Door pulls are a typical piece of hardware in the world of sliding doors, as well as an elegant and aesthetic element capable of adding light and presence to your doors and, consequently, your home. Although there are countless different models, designs of all kinds (from antique to avant-garde handles), all finishes and materials, etc., a door pull is still just a handle or grip with a base that is screwed into the door to pull it.

Which doors to install a door pull on

A door pull is not always the ideal option for your doors. Depending on the type of sliding door you have, you may be able to install one door pull, two, or a kit with recessed pulls and a latch. And, what does it depend on? Many times when opening a sliding door, it retracts completely into the wall, and many other times, when the sliding door is surface-mounted, one side remains flush with the wall to leave the necessary gap to pass through the doorway. In those moments, you will only be able to install either no door pull (in case the door retracts) or one door pull on one side and a recessed pull on the other (in case the door remains flush). A door pull on both sides is commonly seen on high-traffic pivoting doors or double doors.

Features of a sliding door pull

A door pull is chosen based on: aesthetics, material, center-to-center distance, and installation method. Just as door pulls for entrance doors come in infinite different sizes, in general, the dimensions of door pulls for sliding doors are very similar. What we recommend is focusing especially on the aesthetics. There are door pulls that have matching handles and other home hardware, and sometimes looking for that set enhances the look of your furniture.

On the other hand, there are door pulls that are installed by screwing the rosette directly into the door; there are other door pulls that have a longer plate that are installed in the same way, and others that go on with through-bolts. The simplest option is always a rosette or a plate that is screwed into the door using wood screws, although we understand that decoration and aesthetics dictate the choice, and a door pull without a rosette that is installed with through-bolts always maintains an elegant line that enhances every place where it is placed. In short, find in this extensive catalog all types of door pulls for sliding doors with different installation methods, the best quality, and all styles at the best price.
