Do door handles fit in all doors?

No one door handle suits all doors globally. Here's why:

Door Thickness: Doors are of different thicknesses, and handles are made to support certain ranges. A handle for a thin access panel won't work on a heavy, insulated HVAC door.

Backset: This refers to the measurement between the door edge and the center of the handle hole. Different door preparations have distinct backset measurements.

Door Material: Certain handles are more appropriate for some door materials (wood, metal, uPVC).

To fit correctly:
1. Measure your door thickness.
2. Measure the backset.
3. Observe the gap between any mounting holes already present.
4. Determine the type of lock or latch you need.

When purchasing a door handle, always examine the product measurements and specifications to guarantee compatibility with your door.
