<p data-start="76" data-end="555">Selecting the right hardware for your interior doors is more important than it may seem. The right choice not only improves how your doors function but also enhances the overall look and feel of your home. When choosing hardware, start by thinking about the <strong data-start="334" data-end="350">type of door you have. For heavier and more durable <strong data-start="390" data-end="419">solid core interior doors, you'll need stronger hinges, sturdy handles, and high-quality locking mechanisms to support their weight and provide smooth operation.

<p data-start="557" data-end="1003">Consider the <strong data-start="570" data-end="595">function of the space where the door is located. For bedrooms and bathrooms, privacy hardware with locking features is ideal. For closets and hallway doors, you can go with simple passage or dummy hardware that doesn&rsquo;t lock. The <strong data-start="803" data-end="823">style and finish of the hardware are also crucial. Choose a finish&mdash;like oil-rubbed bronze, satin nickel, or matte black&mdash;that complements your room&rsquo;s design and matches other fixtures in the space.



<p data-start="1005" data-end="1393">If you&rsquo;re installing hardware on solid core interior doors, make sure the hardware you select is rated for higher durability. These doors are often chosen for their noise reduction and long-lasting construction, so low-quality hardware can compromise their performance. Additionally, be sure to measure your door&rsquo;s thickness and check the backset to ensure the hardware fits properly.
