Handle Pintu
BUILDING MATERIALS & CONSTRUCTIONbeginner
Definition
Door handle or grab bar — the lever or grip that operates a door. Handles range from simple levers to ornate decorative designs, made from stainless steel, brass, or aluminium. Handle design affects accessibility — Indonesian building codes increasingly require lever handles (operable by people with limited hand strength) over round knobs.
Example
A contemporary Indonesian office building uses stainless steel lever handles on all daun-pintu — the lever design meeting accessibility codes while the stainless steel providing durability and a modern aesthetic.
