How to Choose Better Home Products Door Hardware

Better Home Products makes it easy to select hardware by function and application—whether you’re updating interior doors, securing an entry, or choosing components for a multi-door project. Start with the use case: keyed entry for exterior doors, privacy for bedrooms and bathrooms, passage for halls and closets, and dummy trim for non-latching doors. For added convenience or code-driven installs, interconnect locks and UL-listed options can help you meet specific project requirements.

Buying tips (avoid mistakes):

• Match the function first: keyed entry vs privacy vs passage vs dummy.
  
• Confirm fit basics: check door thickness and backset (commonly 2-3/8" or 2-3/4") before ordering door hardware.
  
• Coordinate finishes: pick one primary finish and repeat it across levers/knobs, deadbolts, and accessories for a cohesive look.
  
• Commercial needs: door closers and UL-listed categories help narrow to appropriate options for high-traffic openings.
  
• Parts & accessories: use this category for replacement latches, trim, or components to keep existing openings consistent.

Better Home Products FAQs

What’s the difference between privacy and passage? Privacy locks from the inside (bed/bath). Passage does not lock (halls/closets).

What is an interconnect lock? It’s designed so operating the interior lever can retract both latch and deadbolt together, depending on model—useful for certain entry applications.

How do I choose the right deadbolt? Single cylinder is most common (key outside, thumbturn inside). Double cylinder uses a key on both sides—check local egress/fire code requirements.

Do I need a door closer? Closers are used to control door swing and ensure doors close reliably in high-traffic areas and some code-driven applications.
