The Humble Handle from Turnstyle: Elevating Entrances.

The often overlooked fixture in your home that’s actually one of the hardest working pieces  - the humble handle takes centre stage today. Turnstyle Designs provides an overview of their extensive range of door hardware, from knobs and pulls, to levers, locks and latches, and shares insight into key elements to consider in the selection process.

Sales & Marketing Director, Wayne Dymond, shares his door hardware checklist:

“Door handles and knobs are among the most frequently used elements in any home - touched countless times a day, often without a second thought. With hybrid working now the norm, interior doors arguably see even more use than the front door, making durability and design equally critical. Yet, hardware is often an afterthought in the design process, despite playing a key role in both function and aesthetics. Much like lighting and accessories, the right hardware elevates a space, ensuring it not only performs but also enhances the overall design.

Thoughtfully chosen hardware - pieces that complement the style, colour palette, or architectural details - creates a sense of cohesion and visual harmony. These intentional touches elevate a space, transforming it from merely functional to truly well-designed.

Material choice is equally important. High-traffic areas demand durability, particularly in homes with small children or in boutique hospitality spaces where both resilience and ease of maintenance are non-negotiable. A well-crafted handle influences subconscious perception from the moment someone enters a space. It’s a detail that shouldn’t just look the part but feel exceptional in hand.

At Turnstyle Designs, every material undergoes rigorous testing to ensure longevity, performance, and a premium tactile experience. Our grip range spans from smooth, velvety leather to precision-detailed brass and an extensive selection of Amalfine™ finishes - offering texture, tactility, and the ability to truly personalise a space. Because when design and function work in harmony, even the smallest touchpoints make a lasting impression.”
